Quack Pack and Goof Troop to DVD!!!

[ZariusTwo]

Goof Troop and Quack Pack are coming to DVD as box sets, Goof troop of course being the standout series of the two, and the cartoon that introduced us to Goofs' son Max, as well as reinvigorated the character in the 1990s' after decades of being absent. One of the more underrated Disney cartoons ever produced. Quack Pack was a cheap imitation of it, and failed miserably

I'm a little surprised/disappointed that they skipped over Tailspin and Darkwing Duck for those shows. Was never a big fan of Goof Troop and I didn't find Quack Pack to be entertaining at all.

Well, Darkwing Duck is bound to come out sooner or later.

Indeed...I'd get both Tailspin and DW....and has Disney re-called Duck Tales? I only saw it at Best Buy and the Wal*Marts where I looked only had Rescue Rangers.

I think they'll get there eventually. I want Aladdin myself.

I don't like Quack Pack it was a rotten egg. I want Tail Spin & DW Duck too!! That show was great-Disney coulda done very well with that show!

Both Quack Pack and Goof Troop are coming to DVD on February 14, 2006, each for $14.99 SRP. Cover art is available for both releases at TVShowsOnDVD.com.

Here's what they say:

Following up on the release of Ducktales - Volume 1 earlier this month, Disney/Buena Vista is preparing their announcement for a DVD release of the follow-up 1996 series Quack Pack. Tony Anselmo continued in the voice acting role of Donald Duck, as he once again takes charge of his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Among the other voice actors in this series (which lasted one season) were Elizabeth Daily (Rugrats' "Tommy Pickles") and Pamela Segall (King of the Hills' "Bobby Hill").

Amazon.com has a heads-up listing for a February 14th release date of Quack Pack on DVD. This isn't a pre-order listing yet (although it will turn into one later on), but if you look it up at Amazon just the right way then it does show an SRP of $14.99, and that Amazon will discount it to $10.49 once they start taking pre-orders. At that price point, this release obviously won't contain as many episodes as the Ducktales set! We're still waiting on the official studio announcement, though, and when we get it we'll pass it on to you as quickly as possible. Stay tuned!

Three years prior to the theatrical release of A Goofy Movie, the adventures of Goofy and his son, Max, were already being chronicled in the two-season long animated series Goof Troop. Bill Farmer took over the voice role of "Goofy" for the first time in this show, which also featured such lauded voice actors as Nancy Cartwright (The Simpsons' "Bart Simpson") and Frank Welker (the original Transformers' "Megatron"). Now Disney/Buena Vista is preparing their announcement for the first DVD release of Goof Troop.

Raph's Girl note: Come on Darkwing Duck!! After Quack Pack I'll just need Darkwing Duck to complete my set of Ducktales and it's spin-offs!!!

Goof Troop did NOT introduce us to Goofy's son. He was in several cartoon shorts of the 50's including the one where he was born. Back then he had red hair.

Max's mother was also in those shorts. She was a dog also with red hair (her name is Penelope, a childhood friend of Minnie and Daisy). No idea what happened to her tho between the 2 shorts she was in and Goof Troop.

Also in the 1950's P.J was a rotten brat much like his father.

I knew he had a son in the shorts, never knew he was supposed to be Max though.

Goofys' wife supposedly died in between Goof Troop, cause of death was never actually confirmed, at least to me.

That's pretty interesting. Did they ever address the issue of the missing mother in any episodes of Goof Troop, or was it something they just ignored since it might've risked being too "heavy" for children's programming?

Hell, even Rugrats had a few episodes about Chucky's dead mother, which were actually quite good (for Rugrats, anyway).

I watched House of Mouse and noticed Goofy always macking on Clairabelle and just thought it was weird. Right in front of his son, too.

Chuckie had the best story background in that series, from his mothers' death being acknowledged etc, to his becoming the fiurst of the babies to speak his first word in "Rugrats In Paris" if you read the newspaper strips, which are canon as close as I can tell, they were building that mystery up long before the cartoon finally revealed what had happened, so it was a darn good payoff for long term readers/viewers, the strips really develop Chuckie a great deal when the cartoon wont' bother.

...That kind of belittled the whoe point of "EGM" with Goofy getting a new love interest, so his hitting on Clairabelle bothered me, at least House of M is non-canon, or if you're a fan of Roger Rabbit, you could consider it "in canon fourth dimensionally", I prefer the former.

Yeah, that's how I view it, too. A lot like Looney Tunes in that the actual cartoons and movies are just that...cartoons and movies. The Looney Tunes are actors. In reality, they are EXACTLY like the characters they portray...but they're still actors.

But I find those stories to be the most fun. Well, except for Space Jam.

I'm a bit disappointed that a great show like Goof Troop is reduced to only $14.95 sets. Hopefully if it is popular we will see all the episodes in one way or another. I'm also hoping the reason that Darkwing and Talespin were skipped over is because they will soon have their own Ducktales styled 1-27 episode sets.

Goof Troop I might just rent if they have it in Blockbuster, I'm really kind of waiting for Tailspin and Darkwing Duck. Though Ducktales was kind of fun.
