3-DVD Set Packed With Extras!

Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?, the Emmy Award-winning animated series, educates kids of all ages in the subjects of history, geography and fun through its action-packed adventurous tales of Carmen Sandiego and the ACME Detective Agency sleuths Zack and Ivy!

Presented in an expansive 3-DVD collector set, the show features the voice talent of Oscar/Emmy/Golden Globe-winning actress Rita Moreno.

Welcome to the first season of the Emmy-winning computer game-turned-animated series. Meet Carmen Sandiego (Rita Moreno), who swipes a cultural artifact or two in each episode. Dressed in red from fedora to heels, she's a vision out of a Technicolor thriller. On her trail, but always one step behind, are Ivy (Jennifer Hale, Justice League) and kid brother Zack (Scott Menville, Mission Hill) from the ACME Detective Agency. As the Lady in Red drops clues, the wisecracking Chief (Rodger Bumpass, SpongeBob SquarePants), a holographic image, helps the duo to decipher them (shades of 1980s phenomenon Max Headroom). In the pilot ("The Stolen Smile"), Carmen steals the eyes from a Van Gogh self-portrait. Why would she do such a thing? To solve the mystery, the globe-trotting teens travel to Holland, Egypt, and France. Along the way, they call on their knowledge of geography, art history, and zoology. Throughout these 13 episodes, including the two-part finale ("A Date With Carmen"), Ivy and Zack follow the master thief to India ("Dinosaur Delirium"), Russia ("By a Whisker"), China ("Rules of the Game"), and countless other countries. To track her down, the detectives also bone up on archeology, astronomy, biology, music, literature--and that's just to start. Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? ran on Fox for three seasons and the Fox Family Channel for its fourth (to add to the confusion, there was also a PBS game show). The fast-paced program combines hand-drawn cel animation--in a style that lies somewhere between Jonny Quest and Scooby-Doo--with stock photography, newsreel footage, and computer graphics. Every installment is book-ended by a live action sequence featuring "Player" (a stand-in for the viewer), who trades quips with Carmen via email. Portentous theme song aside, the end result is educational fun for the entire family. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

What?! The Acropolis is missing?! It must be the work of that malicious mastermind of the underworld--Carmen Sandiego! A.C.M.E. Detective Agency has appointed you, Gumshoe, the task of extracting clues from Carmen's henchmen around the world and revealing the criminal's identity. Obtain a warrant, capture the villain at his or her hideout, and recover the missing megastructure.

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? is a mystery/geography board game that will be a sure-fire hit with all your supersleuths. Detectives earn the right to race around the world map printed on the board by answering geography questions ranging from the deducible--"With 500 islands, how many islands make up the country of Japan?"--to more challenging: "Name the Irish city that has a funny five-line rhyme named after it." Players can either answer the question directly, earning a five-space move, or correctly answer a multiple-choice question to move three spaces. The winner is the first agent to reach the criminal's hideout. Geography buffs will also enjoy National Geographic's Pictures of the World Card Game. This game is for two to six players. --Julie Ubben
