Trivia
The score is very similar to that of Planet of the Apes. After DC failed to get the rights to Planet of the Apes in the late 1960s, Editor Carmine Infantino asked Jack Kirby to create a series with similar plot and tone. Kirby had not seen Planet of the Apes, but was familiar with the concept and created Kamandi.

Fantastic introduction

When a short film is better than the main feature it accompanies. Kamandi delivers all the Easter eggs and service it possibly can. This feels like a post apocalyptic world right from the 1970's. The opening scene itself is a homage to the cover of issue one. Absolute spot on Jack Kirby likenesses. 18 minutes that flew by, is a good sign of some quality entertainment from D. C. it's a shame that this wasn't the main feature. Ending sets up a possible sequel which I am now wanting to see.
