Continue on a heroic journey back to when California was still under Spanish rule and the struggle for power to control Alta California's vast wealth often led to rampant injustice -- and the need for the fearless hero with a flashing sword. On DVD for the first time ever, fans of all ages can experience classic episodes from the second season of Walt Disney's history-making TV series (1958-59). Guy Williams (TV's LOST IN SPACE) stars as the legendary masked avenger -- the brave horseman known as Zorro -- who thunders out of the night and into bold adventures to right every wrong. Carving a "Z" with his blade, this caped hero triumphs over every trap, to outwit those who would prey on the poor and powerless.

Walt Disney's Zorro - even better colorized
I loved Walt Disney's Zorro as a kid and am delighted that I was able to buy the complete Second Season in a colorized version. I've had the complete First Season (colorized version) for several years and have been looking for the Second Season to be released. The original series was in B&W, and purists don't like the idea of colorization, but I find it so much more entertaining to see the show in color. Admittedly, the colorization could be a bit better in some places (some of the horses are a very strange shade of brown!), and the quality of the images themselves is not as crystal clear as I'd like (after all the show was originally filmed in the mid-50's), but the people, the clothes, the sets all look great in color. I just love watching this classic old show in the colorized version - you miss so much when it's just B&W.

The Colorizing is Excellent!!!!
I bought both the season 1 and season 2 when the colorized versions were available and the price was not astronomical. I was stunned at what a great job they did in turning this series into beautiful color! We only had black & white TV when these episodes aired, and I didn't really know what to expect. Well, it was beautiful! It is still one of my favorite DVD sets. Wish they offered both the B & W and Colorized versions in the same set. That would appease purists and at the same time, entice those who love the rich color of Old California.

The plot and the characters does it all!
Even though it's old, the quality isn't too good and some of the story lines of the single-epsiodes aren't the best, it's still an amazing TV show. The characters each have their own unique personality, presented so well by different actors that you just fall in love with. The acting is incredible! No movie, comic or TV show has captured the heart and spirit of Zorro better than Disney did. The 1st Season is the best one for sure, but the show isn't complete without this second one. There are some episodes with not very good story's (especially the single-story-episodes) but the "to-be-continued" episodes are usually pretty awesome!

ZORRO! STILL SAVING THE DAY.
I bought this season first because of affordability. The adventures continue, this time picking up in Monterey. Somehow the stories have lightened up a bit diminishing the sense of intensity drama and adventure. Still the performances are top notch and there is plenty of good action. It's good to own the whole series, but given the choice, Season One was much stronger and complete unto itself. For many people Guy Williams is the definitive Zorro and he's done nothing to dishonor that claim. There have been many actors that played Zorro after Guy Williams, but only one was worthy to carry on the full glory of being Zorro, and the name of that man is...

Horseman known as Zorro!
Zorro takes me back to my childhood when things were much more simple and the villians always received their just deserts. What a shame Zorro was only on the air for three seasons. The last season consisted of one hour episodes. I hope they release those in a colorized version like the earlier half hour stories. The colorization is first rate and looks like these were actually filmed in color. Each episode is well written and the settings and background look very authentic. This set is a must for any Zorro fan.

My Favorite Zorro Second Season
Although the real Zorro has become a legendary hero through Walt Disney's vision, the portrayal by Guy Williams has met any and all expectations. He set the standards high for anyone who would later take on the role of Zorro. The action sequences were bold, daring, and intriquing for their time of presentation. I have enjoyed reliving my time in front of the television set to watch each episode unfold again. Thanks for making this second season available.

Love it!!!
OK, I have to admit it. I love Zorro. It is all Guy Williams fault! This series was as good as I remembered. Of course I also love Tyrone Power and Antonio Bandaras in that same role. Then of course there was Frank Langella in the remake of the Mark of Zorro. That was good, too!I had forgotten about the relationship between Sargent Garcia and his Corporal. That is really funny. Great Guests like Caesar Romero, Richard Anderson and Annette!

Truly a masterpiece television series from the Walt Disney studios.
Zorro was the first tv show I started watching on a regular basis in the late 1950s when I was six years old and I loved
