Member since: 1/20/2007 | | Earthworm Jim | I've always liked this gaming cartoon when I was a kid (and when it was very briefly reaired not too long back), really funny as I remember. Oh yeah and the characters from the game, the lines, plus the top voice cast (Dan "Homer Simpson" Castellita as Earthworm Jim, Kath Soucie, Jim Cummings), too bad it only had like 26 episodes.
Any chance even as slim as nothing for a DVD release? |

Member since: 1/31/2007 | | RE: Earthworm Jim | | I'm pretty sure Earthworm JIm is owned by Warner Bros and I doubt that they would license it out. I loved the game but I was never a fan of the cartoon but I hope it eventually comes out on DVD for those that love it. |

Member since: 3/4/2007 | | RE: Earthworm Jim | | Nope. It's owned by Universal. They were the ones who created the show for Kids WB. Maybe you guys can speak with Universal Animation (the guys behind the Land Before Time series on Cartoon Network) and Doug TenNapel, and it might actually work out better, even if Queen Pulsating-Bloated-Sweaty-Pus-Filled-Malformed-Slug-For-A-Butt had planned it. If that doesn't happen, then I'll chop you down into bits so small you can shuck 'em through a screen door! |

Member since: 2/8/2007 | | RE: Earthworm Jim | | If we do convince Universal Cartoon Studios to release Earthworm Jim on DVD maybe we could convince them to release Back to the Future: The Animated Series. I've seen all three Back to the Future movies and they were AWESOME!!!!!! I also used to watch Back to the Future: The Animated Series when FoxBox aired it. It was an awesome series but I never saw season 2 because it didn't air on the Fox Box. Maybe sometime we could convince Universal to release this show on DVD as well as Earthworm Jim. As for Earthworm Jim, that's another great series. I remembered watching it on the WB network along with Freakazoid. I have the one out of four of the VHS releases for this show called: Assault and Battery which contains these 2 episodes: "Assault and Battery" and Trout! If we convice Universal to release Earthworm Jim and Back to the Future on DVD then I would probably get those two shows. |

Them are the 1940-50s theatrical shorts, not the 1999 series. Happy that one's coming out even though I am more familar with the other series. |

That's the item on Madman's B2B website, oddly enough it isn't on their main webpage yet, perhaps a surprise announcement.
http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/819648
Ezydvd has it listed but they are saying they are awaiting enough stock to fill all the orders. Maybe it has been delayed on Madman's end?
Also to clear up who seems to have ownership of the title, it is under the Via Vision label. Dunno who they are, never heard of them myself. Perhaps they own the rights over here in the Australia/New Zealand part of the world? |

Member since: 6/17/2011 | | RE: Earthworm Jim | Yup, really a EWJ cartoon in the early to mid 90s. You can find clips of it on YouTube.
I have a few VHS tapes. I wanted to preserve them and record them with my DVD recorder. But SONY even has some sort of code on their VHS tapes. I wouldn't think that was possible (before I tried). My DVD recorder shuts off when I try to dub the copies.
I really hope this show gets a DVD release. I prefer 80s, even though I'm a 90s gen dude. It was one of the few slap stick and sarcastic shows I really loved in the 90s. |
