Inch High, Private Eye Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
jmak_2002 I would also like to comment that the version of the series I saw featured Inch High in his green trench coat solving mysteries with the help of the girl and the boy. Finkerton was actually my favorite character on the show...I don't really know if it's because of the character's voice or because the character was funny, period, with his outbursts and rants about everything he didn't like about Inch High. The voice John Stephenson used for Finkerton is based on Joe Flynn's character on "McHale's Navy". He used this voice again on other cartoon's. INCH HIGH would feature him on the telephone in the opening sequence, dialing a number using his body, because his fingers were too small. So, I don't know the version that was previously written about when it was stated that Inch High could rise or shrink. The series I saw, Inch High was always an inch high. I saw the series for the first time on the USA Cartoon Express.
journeyman968 Plank is an idiot, Hanna-Barbara made quality cartoons and this was one of them. Great cartoon in a collection of quality cartoons in the 70s and 80s. What made Hanna-Barbara great was the wide variety of cartoons that they did make. There was a cartoon for every kid. In fact, they made so many quality cartoons that the USA Network created the Cartoon Express, which originally showed nothing BUT Hanna-Barbara cartoons because there were so many of them and all of them were quality. So it's stupid for someone to say that they only had quality cartoons in the 50s and 60s when Hanna-Barbara are still remembered today or those supposedly bad cartoons.
MartinHafer Uggh! Hanna-Barbera of the 60s and 70s! What lousy and unwatchable cartoons that were thrust upon us by these hacks! It's a shame really, as in the 1940s and 1950s "Hanna-Barbera" meant quality--because they produced so many wonderful Tom and Jerry cartoons. However, with the major cost-cutting efforts of the late 1950s, cartoons in general began to look pretty poor and budgets were slashed. In fact, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were fired by MGM and replaced by a team of Czech animators who had never even seen the original cartoons! So, in the late 50s, the team was out of work and decided "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"--and began producing horrid little cartoons themselves--with horrible animation, backgrounds and writing.It's unfortunate, but the team's production of crappy cartoons worked too well---making them rich and the most successful producers of cartoons of the 60s and 70s. During this time, again and again, bad production values was their norm and a long list of VERY forgettable cartoons were created. In this case, the amazingly bad INCH HIGH PRIVATE EYE--a completely unfunny and stupid idea. If you want to know what the show was about, the title says it all.Rotten to the core and strong evidence that the production team had total contempt for us kids!
Servoprogram First off, I don't know what version of Inch High the previous reviewer saw, but it wasn't the one I originally saw IN the 70s. Inch remained an inch high throughout the series and could NOT grow back, period. That was the whole gimmick of the show.Despite his size, he always got the job done...with the help of his lovely and resourceful niece, Laurie, who called him "Uncle Inch" and Gator, Inch's muscled-bound golly gee-whiz bumkin assistant who referred to him as "Mr. Inch Sir." Gator also drove the team's vehicle, a sleek hovercraft similar in design to the Blue Falcon's Falconcar from "Dynomutt." The group also had a lumbering dog that occasionally aided Inch.Inch was voiced by Lennie Weinrib, not Alan Oppenheimer. John Stephenson was hilarious as Inch's short-fused superior, Mr. Finkerton. The character was played like Cosmo Spacely from The Jetsons. Instead of firing Inch, Finkerton always told Inch to "Get out!" Most bosses would probably coddle Inch because of his size. Not Finkerton, which is why he was funny with that "about-to-sneeze" pitch in his voice when he spoke.Despite it's comedic premise, this was a surprisingly straight and laid-back show compared to the other mystery toons. There weren't song-n-dance monster chases or unveilings. Laurie wasn't danger-prone, but was quite capable. If you tire of Scooby antics, then Inch High, Private Eye may provide an adequate diversion.
