The Young Indiana Jones: The Early Years Review by DVD Verdict 
The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume One, The Early Years presents the earliest adventures of The Boy Who Would Be Ford as seven 90-minute "chapters," interspersed with more than thirty-six documentaries, across 12 discs. The first five episodes follow the ten-year-old Indy (played by Corey Carrier) on a trip around the world with his professor father Henry Jones, Sr. (Lloyd Owen), his mother Anna (Ruth de Sosa), and his proper English tutor Miss Seymour (Margaret Tyzack). Their travels take them to Africa, Europe, Russia, India, and the Far East, where Indy crosses paths with historical figures as diverse as T.E. Lawrence, Howard Carter, Teddy Roosevelt, Franz Ferdinand, Giacomo Puccini, Norman Rockwell, and Sigmund Freud. The final two episodes introduce the teenage Indy (played by Sean Patrick Flanery, Stargate SG-1) who begins his unlikely journey from New Jersey high school student to enlisted Belgian soldier, off to fight in the first World War, by way of Pancho Villa and his army of Mexican rebels. Despite Flanery's appearance, this first volume belongs to Carrier's boyhood Indiana Jones.
