X-Men 90's Animated Series Coming To DVD!! - Page 2

FlawedCoil82 · 07-14-2008, 02:06 AM

Well crap, after contacting Liberation Entertainment a few times, they finally wrote me back and this is the response that they sent to me.

"Dear Jack,

Thanks for your email via the Liberation website.

We've had a lot of enquiries about the Marvel animated series.
Unfortunately we do not hold the US rights - so we won't be releasing them
in the US... I wish we could. I'm not entirely sure who does hold them
in the US, which may be behind why they have not been released there
yet.

Sorry we can't be more help. For more information on our European
releases, please have a look at www.dvdsuperheroes.co.uk . Thanks again
for contacting us.

All the best,

Mark"

Someone in Marvel Entertainment needs to be finding out who owns the rights to this series in America and fast! I read on another site recently that Disney thought they owned the rights but then they were wrong and that no one else knows who owns them either. It is inexcusably ridiculous that no one knows who owns them here.

Jack

*Spike Spiegel* · 07-14-2008, 01:32 PM

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. How can they NOT know, or why isn't whoever does own this stuff get half a brain and release it here??

I'm TOTALLY confused. So does Disney own the rights to the Saban stuff or not? I know Power Rangers is in the mouse's clutches, but other than that, I'm really confused about this. Especially the Marvel stuff.

FlawedCoil82 · 07-14-2008, 07:14 PM

I don't remember exactly what it said on the website that I read it on but the jist of it was Disney has the rights to air the shows on their networks, but apparently did not have the rights to actually release them on dvd. Another company called something like Buena Vista (spelling?) had the rights to release one set of the show around the time X2: X-Men United came out in theaters (the set was called "Legend Of Wolverine") however they did not acquire the rights to the full series to release season sets here, and since then their license with the series has expired. But now Marvel is trying to regain their license from Disney and Disney is fighting them back saying that Marvel cannot release them while they are still allowed to air them because that would take their ratings down. It is a huge, screwed up mess.

My friend recently got a British/region free player so she could watch Blake's 7so I may end up getting the British X-Men DVDs.

I have no idea what is up with Disney, but I'm not worried yet about my faves not coming out. Now if it's November and there's still no news of Darkwing, Tale Spin or Ducktales then I'll be worried. I thought they had been selling well.

Also where the heck is the last season of X-Men: Evolution? That's owned by a completely different company and they only had one season (nine eps) left to release. I had more hope for that series seeing the light of day, but it's now been two years since the last release, they released season 3 to tie in with the release of the 3rd X-Men movie. I can only hope season 4 will finally be released when the Wolverine movie comes out maybe.

FlawedCoil82 · 07-15-2008, 08:01 PM

Just in case anyone still wants to order this item, I found it on PlayUSA.com and they converted the price to US Dollars so the total price for X-Men Season 1, Volume 1 is $14.99 with free shipping. Here is the link.

I hope that anyone who loved this cartoon (and who has a region free dvd player) will go ahead and order this set because Liberation Entertainment invested a lot of money in obtaining this series so hopefully we can show them our gratitude by helping it sell well. I went on ahead and ordered a copy myself, so I am hopong for the best that my dvd player will play it.

FlawedCoil82 · 07-23-2008, 07:20 PM

I didn't know if anyone would care or not but a company has already released the dvd set of the 90's Spider-Man cartoon that featured the two episodes with the X-Men as the guest stars. If you wanted to pick that up (and it is a Region 1 disc so it WILL play in American dvd players), it can be bought here: http://www.playusa.com/DVD/Region_1/...ml?add=5342867

(It also features two bonus episodes of Iron Man). I went on ahead and ordered it.

Old news to virtually everyone.

Yeah... Those would be the Canadian released episodes. Most of their line up is old VHS of random 60's and 80's Marvel cartoons. it's something, but hardly the collectors sets the fans deserve.

Blade Raider · 01-23-2009, 07:37 PM

It's finally happening...

FlawedCoil82 · 01-24-2009, 12:11 AM

I just read it on the Marvel toon forum!!

Holy crap I am beyond thrilled!! I just pray that Disney will do these sets justice and include them as full season sets (with episodes in order) and with no edited or cut scenes. But I plead with everyone on here who loved this cartoon to PLEASE buy these dics if they are, in fact, full uncut season sets so that the other seasons andother Marvel toons may also see the light of day in America. However this is extremely encouraging news.

Jack

Blade Raider · 01-24-2009, 01:05 AM

I'm sure these are season sets since the first 2 seasons are 13 episodes each and these are 2-disc sets. Right now, I pray the show's in episode order. If you have seen their Disney Afternoon box sets, you should know how hard it is for them to get it right.

On a side note, I'm getting tried of Disney getting half way through a show and then never releasing the rest. It's really annoying that I can't finish Darkwing Duck (including episodes I've never seen). Here's hoping Marvel is in charge of the DVD production.

LeoNerdo · 01-24-2009, 01:42 AM

my brother bought the first season from the UK releases so and those were pretty nice. i figure these will probably be very similar to those sets if not better.

Definitely...Darkwing didn't even go into the Saturday Morning episodes yet. I doubt they're even finished with the first broadcast season. And Ducktales needs just one more set to be complete. And the fact they didn't even bother with The Tick Season 3 yet really sucks... especially since I haven't seen half those episodes.

I'm glad they did release these to some extent, but they really need to make a commitment and finish the series they started. If they do the same with X-Men and Spider-Man, they'll really get some heat for that.

Finally!

This is great news, I'm tired of watching episodes in bad resolution on YouTube.
