Chinese-American supersleuth Charlie Chan
made his cartoon transition with his customary grace, only this time he
brought along the clan. Maintaining Hanna-Barbera's winning formula
(kids, mysteries, canine, van), the hit kid show also introduced some
innovations (the van transforms, a double-sized team, HOWdunnits not
whodunits).
Most significant
among these is the casting of the amazing Keye Luke (Kato, Master Po)
as the voice of Charlie Chan. Not only was this the first time that an
Asian-American would play Charlie Chan, it marked an apropos
"graduation" for Mr. Luke, the original "Number One Son" Lee Chan of the
classic Warner Oland Chan mysteries. Among those joining Mr. Luke on
voice duties are Jodie Foster (Anne Chan), Lennie Weinrib (Stanley Chan)
and Don Messick (Chu-Chu) in this complete 16-episode, two-disc
collection. The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan – "e pluribus unum" and
how!

MY REVIEW
I have been loving doing reviews for these classic cartoons and I have liked all of the except for this one. This cartoon just didn't keep my attention. It was like all other old cartoon it was cheesy but I just thought this one was boring. That is just my thought and you might like this one.
