Product Information
With well-crafted stories and high-quality production values, THE YOUNG INDIANA JONES CHRONICLES was a rarity on TV when it premiered in 1992. Focusing on preadolescent (Corey Carrier) and teenage (Sean Patrick Flanery) versions of the Indian Jones character, the series follows the future archaeologist's adventures as he travels the world, rubbing shoulders with some of history's famed figures. From carrying out spy missions for the French Intelligence to braving the trenches of World War I, the show is gently educational as it charts young Indy intersecting, often dangerously, with historical events. Produced under the watchful eye of creator George Lucas, these eight feature-length episodes feature Sean Patrick Flanery in the title role, getting himself in and out of all sorts of tight situations, and include guest appearances by Christopher Lee, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Daniel Craig.Actors and Key Contributors: Sean Patrick Flanery,

A Terrific Educational Tool
Written
By Dewitte A. Baisch Jr.
on 2007-10-17According to the 1999 VHS releases, George Lucas set out to create a series that would take a subject reviled by many a student and make it more accessible. The extras on the disc are to provide an accurate (as reasonably accurate as possible anyway) historical perspective of the fictional stories contained in the set. Many of the subjects to be covered in this release do not fall into the repertoire of so-called "common knowledge" but provide incredibly valuable lessons and information.
Lucas has set out to make these sets about the history instead of burying it with one or two 20-minute featurettes as many a modern film release would have done. For this, I think he should be applauded, not lambasted.
