(More customer reviews)Not recognizing the story by it's title, and not particularly a huge fan of animation, I plugged this DVD into my machine with only mild interest and little expectation. And within the first three minutes I was hooked! The feature itself is a mere half an hour length, and it ended way before I was ready for it to finish. The presentation evoked feelings I haven't experienced in years, with Orson Welle's commanding voice bringing me back to long car rides home from my grandparents house, sitting next to my father in the front seat, and listening to recordings of the old radio shows on the powerhouse "WJR Detroit - The Great Voice of the Great Lakes." There is a quality in the animation of this version of "The Hitch Hiker" which makes the story seem bigger and more important, like wonderful illustrations in a classic book. And there is an absolute intrigue in this production that will appeal to old and young alike. This story has been captured in various productions throughout the years, but none like this. This is a fresh and unique concept, combining the vocal performance of a master story teller with the visual allure of a gallery of wonderful renderings. I haven't finished watching all of the extras on this DVD, and I don't that I will. But the feature presentation was well worth the price, and I've shared it with many of my family and friends who are anticipating the next installment in this series as much as I am. Bravo!

In an ongoing effort to perserve the past and promote the future, Mind City Productions is proud to present the first installment of a unique new animated series in "RadioVisioN".With a focus on some of the greatest performances of the past 100 years, our combination ofmodern CGI animation techniques and Hollywood cinematography create the "RadioVision" experience.In this award winning visual adaption of a 1940's original broadcast of "The Mercury Theater on the Air", the legendary Orson Welles stars as Ronald Adams. A man who, during a cross country trip, is slowly driven to question his own sanity. Complete with a haunting score by the immortal Bernard Herrmann and a suspense filled story by Lucille Fletcher. We hope the suspense will be quite visible as we present another spine-tingler by name... 'The Hitch Hiker'. (NOTE on runtime: 27 min animated feature, 97 min total with outakes and additonal materials)
