Ren & Stimpy: the first two seasons. Surreal and oblique cartoons...
As strange as it may sound, I had never seen a single episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show before buying this 3-DVD set. I had not been living on another planet... but in another country; thus, I did not have access to channels like Nickelodeon or MTV. Viewers familiar with the show might wonder why I...

"Get it?"
It is hard to overstate how important Ren & Stimpy was to the health of animation in the waning years of the 20th century. Moving well beyond the formulaic blandness of Hanna Barbera cartoons in the '70s, as well as the DIC cartoons and toy commercials masquerading as animation in the '80s, John... Read full review »
Cartoons with attitude
Long before "South Park", there was "Ren and Stimpy" paving the way.

Ren & Stimpy Show - The Complete First and Second Seasons DVD
John Kricfalusi broke new ground in television comedy with his 1990s cartoon series REN STIMPY. Centered around the misadventures of a highstrung chihuahua and his dimwitted feline companion REN STIMPY rendered fourth-grade-level gross-out jokes about mucus flatulence tooth decay and other bodily functions in an uncomfortably graphic style of animation that invited both laughter and squirms of revulsion. Kricfalusi's edgy humor quickly vaulted the series into the highest echelons of cult fandom; and although he left the show after only two seasons his legacy can still be felt in cartoons ranging from SOUTH PARK to SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. This collection features every episode from REN STIMPY's influential first two seasons.

| (11/26/2004, p.83, Steve Daly): "[Episodes] managed to mix hyper-expressive drawings with gross gags better than anybody had before -- or has since." | ||
