The Sonic series that flat out rapes all others gets a release at last

[AquaParade]

Yes! I was thinking about picking up one of those custom made dvd sets on ebay a while back, but now i wont have too. Thanks for the update on that Zarius, I'll be looking forward to this one.

Amazing....simply amazing. Never thought I'd live to see the day. Brian Ward is the man that made those KILLER Super Show sets, and is the man who saved the last remaining copies of Captain N's master reels from certain doom in the BBC's vaults. He's also going to be working on preserving the rest of the Mario cartoons if what I've been hearing (from him) is true.

I'm telling you, this man is a nerd sent down from heaven by God himself.

This is great!! I had gotten the Sonic compilation DVD a few years back, but now the whole series is going to come. Wow!

Please forgive my ign'ance, but what does SATAM stand for? I know this is the first Sonic series with Urkel doing the voice (like in the failed Sonic Underground series; a great example of why action toons shouldn't be revamped as musicians :sick: ), but I can't think of an appropriate phrase for this acronym. Anyone care to help me out without laughing at me?

Refers to Saturday AM (Morning), since that was the original day for this Sonic in the US.

I dunno if I fully trust some guy on a messageboard saying "my friend told that he heard" and "I got an e-mail from the source but I can't show it to anyone".

I'll wait for an official announcement before I celebrate.

Still, any news is good news.

[ZariusTwo]

This is the same guy behind the DIC DVDs, and I've been around people posting who have proven themselves to be Power Rangers actors, I'll take this as legit.

SatAM stands for Saturday Morning because it came on that day.

It's true, I'm from FUS and I can tell you it's 100% true. I will give you some proof.

Hey, guys! It gives me great pleasure to finally speak with some of the SatAM fans. You have no idea how long I've waited to do so, since this deal between DiC and Shout! Factory has been in the works for quite some time. But it's official. Shout! Factory will be releasing Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Series in early 2007. Unfortunately, I can't tell you just how early, since that's not exactly my job.

What I can say is this... Because I'm Shout! Factory's residing 80s-90s geek, I have the great privilege of producing this set. If you're interested in knowing what kinds of bonus features I've been able to put together for previous DiC sets, feel free to check out COPS: The Animated Series, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Volumes 1 & 2, Inspector Gadget: The Original Series, Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?, and the upcoming Sabrina the Animated Series.

You'll notice there are a lot of art-related bonus features on these sets. Frankly, that's for two reasons. First of all, as a producer and director myself, I'm always fascinated by the way things are put together, so I usually like to show you everything from early concept art to animated storyboards and the like. The second reason is that this artwork is often the only kind of bonus material available from DiC. There was a time when they didn't have this stuff in their archives, especially for some of the older shows, and the boxes have been pilfered. Often, this is what survives the years.

For [/I]Sonic the Hedgehog[I], however, I'd like put some special bonus features onto the set. These are currently pending, so only time will tell.

I just want to let everyone know that I'll be stopping in, most likely daily, to get feedback, ideas, concerns, etc. from you guys. I'm a fanboy, too, and I know what it's like to have something you love being handled by someone who couldn't care less. I want to ease those concerns here and now. I'll do everything in my power to create a set you'd all be proud to own.

That said, there are times when certain things are out of my control and I want you all to understand that. Unfortunately, there are times when you say, "I think it'd be great to have [insert bonus feature here]! Make sure that's on the set!" And then, I go looking to put that stuff on and I can't. It's not that I didn't try. It's simply that, for one reason or another, I couldn't get permission.

So chat away. You have my ears (or eyes, as the case may be).

Thanks!
Brian Ward

Cool, man. Thanks for getting back, plus the TV shows on DVD link. Didn't know you were so tight with the right people, so thanks for the good news.

As far as I'm concerned, they already have my money.

EDIT:

I went and posted this news on Forever Geek, the news website I work for, and gave all the proper credit.

I'm not, I just got that from FUS and saw the post that Brian Ward made saying it's true. But some day I hope to meet these people.

THIS PLEASES HANNAH.

I hate Sabrina... but I did like the episode with Weird Al in it.

BTW... when will we see SMB vol2... or is Vol 2 actually the Super Mario cartoons, and Vol 1 was the Zelda cartoons?
Secondly, will we see Dennis the Menace soon?

I'm glad to hear Shout is still doing DIC cartoons. I've heard about the previous sets, and I didn't think anything was going on for the last few months.

Umm.. Weird Al?! Are you sure you've got the right Sabrina in mind... as I don't recall Weird Al in the '90s cartoon (that is what's being noted here).

There was a first Set of Super Mario Bros. Super Show. And this Vol. 2 is scheduled for Oct. 31st.

As for others that have come out. So far have had-- Heathcliff, Legend of Zelda, C.O.P.S., Where On Earth is Carmen Sandiego, and Inspector Gadget.

I have a little sister, and in 1999 (when the series aired) she was at the age of watching it... Basically he DID appear on Sabrina the Animated series (not Sabrina's Secret life), I'm guessing because the executive producer Savage Steve Holland worked with him previously in the Made for TV movie "Safety Patrol" and on an episode of Eek the Cat. I remeber the episode quite vividly: Sabrina and the rest of the girls had some sort of Music group... they used the Jar to make them more talented and famous... and at one point, a TV annoncer says, "You know your song is famous when Weird Al does a parodyu of it" and then it shows Werid AL singing a send up of their song. It really was him. I think he's listed in the end credits under "Aditional voices."
