AMAZING FRIENDS

*Spitfire* · 07-11-2008, 03:28 AM

Were these shows like deemed not popular enough to release here or what? Or are there some legal issues? It really makes no sense.

It's not even worth importing them, even with an un-region locked player the sets would cost twice as much.

I thought, at one point, someone had mentioned Disney loosing the rights to distribute the Marvel toons (though, strangely, they are still able to *air* them on Toon Disney?!).

*Spitfire* · 07-11-2008, 03:39 AM

That's not really a bad thing. They F up everything they release on DVD. The damn Tick DVDs sets are a mess with missing episodes and the Season 3 release is no where to be heard of.

If you look at other stuff they have related to the X-men season they have sets for "The Hulk" and "Silver Surfer" I bet they have sets for every Marvel show.

Jon · 07-11-2008, 03:46 AM

Granted The Tick DVDs have been troublesome. And have the half-released, then stopped Gargoyles. But seem to be doing pretty good with others they did/are doing.

*ZariusTwo* · 07-11-2008, 06:55 AM

Just heard that the solo 1980s Spidey series is getting released in Germany and the UK eventually as well, as well as the much-loathed Spider-Man Unlimited

The did release all of the 90's Fantastic Four series, probably the least popular of the 90's Marvel Animated Series.

But at least we GOT them. Disney doesn't even want to release further volumes of their OWN cartoons they actually created. Tailspin and Rescue Rangers are unfinnished, and no announcement on Darkwing Duck volume 3 either. And one of the Tick episodes was due to Disney not wanting to piss Marvel off for a parody character THEY DIDN'T EVEN CREATE.

Personally, I'm more pissed off they all were bare bones releases. Come on? You couldn't get Jim Cummings in to interview for Darkwing Duck?

But the Europe releases shouldn't bug people. A Canadian company is releasing all these Marvel cartoons. Unfortunately, they're the lame 3-4 episodes per disk types, and most are just ports of VHS.

Jon · 07-11-2008, 11:04 AM

^ Not sure about the other Disney Afternoon shows, but UltimateDisney.com still has a listing for the next Volume of Rescue Rangers (as well as of Gummi Bears) on their upcoming releases list (though yet to give any date/time frame).

That sucks! Heck, Duck Tales still isn't completed yet either (is it?). I was buying them. (all but Chip n' Dale, but I was seriously thinking about it eventually.) Heck I even bought the 2 sets they did of Gargoyles that went unfinished. Man, Disney, what's your problem?

Well, Ducktales comes yearly, and it's not November (the month all the other releases have been in) yet. But I've been checking out to see if Darkwing and The Tick would be announced (since it's almost August, and we haven't heard anything about them). No avail.

And when the heck do they expect to release Gummis and Rescue Rangers? They haven't had a disk set for 2 years. And Rescue Rangers only has 11 episodes to go.

Mandi-chan · 07-11-2008, 06:46 PM

I e-mailed Disney asking about Volume 3 of Darkwing Duck, and they replied with a "there are no plans for a Volume 3 release at this time" junk...

Seriously...WHY do they bother even starting to release shows on dvd, if they seemingly REFUSE to finish what they started?!

I won't be suprised if the same thing happens to Ducktales too...

As for X-Men (it's about blasted time!!!), I'll get the UK dvds...but I'm going to wait and hear what fans say about it first before I do so. I don't want to bother if it turns out they've been edited in some way.

Because they're not the Hanna Effing Montana Cash Cow they seem to be milking relentlessly now.

Lemme guess, we could start an angry letter writing campaign, and nothing will happen. I swear, this new guy is JUST as bad as Eisner.

*DrSpengler* · 07-12-2008, 09:32 AM

Yeah, never try to decipher rhyme or reason from Disney's DVD releases. That way lies madness.

I mean, just look at Power Rangers. They're consistently the best selling boy's toyline every year and the show gets great ratings. And yet...DVD season sets? Anyone? That's like a license to print money. I know they were testing the waters with Operation Overdrive sets, but I never heard any news on if that encouraged them to release any Mighty Morphin sets or not.

Sets that young adults, like me, would probably buy.

Region 2 are releasing box sets for SPD, Dinothunder, Ninja Storm, Mystic Force, and Operation Overdrive (yep...all the New Zeland-produced seasons), and Germany has plenty of MMPR, Zeo, and Time Force boxsets

Why are they releasing Spider-Man Unlimited if they never even completed the frigging series? It was thirteen eps with a cliffhanger. What a waste.

I have no clue why something that was that big and continues to be that big is totally neglected. I really wish Saban kept the control over his company's product, and Disney JUST got the Family Channel. Not that I'm that big on PR, but certainly they have a great back catalog of Fox Kid's shows that we'll never see again.

At least they put Eek the Cat on one of their websites for a while

That has'nt stopped other series from being released with an unresolved storyline
