Shout needs to look into the DIC GI Joe series, i highly doubt they could acquire rights to the Sunbow GI Joe series, but then again Rhino had them, and didnt some people that started Rhino or at least worked their start Shout Factory?

Ward has already tried getting the rights to MASK,(i have a decent complete bootleg set), I'm sure he couldnt get The real Ghostbusters away from Columbia, the rest of COPS, i mean some of the best cartoons like He-man, Thundercats, She-ra Ducktales real classic 80's stuff is being put out, but its a shame other 80's classics havent been put out like the aforementioned. 

B Ward,

            hahahha what about Beetlejuice the animated series? DIC doesnt own the rights......is Shout ever going to branch out from DIC catalogs? Cause with some exeptions the toons in the DIC catalog are kinda running low.

going on the reply to one of my question it seems they might be releasing jayce and the wheeled warriors to dvd from dic catalog

i hope they get some of the other classics 80s shows and 90s shows not currently on dvd to dvd

like mysterious cities of gold currently owned by dic and highlander animated series currently owned by bkn international

one of the toons people on this forum have been talking about lately was Sam and Max, I had never heard of it, but then again a lot of toons on here that people talk about i have never heard of or vaguely recall, cause i grew up in the 80's(i'm and 80's toon person) and stopped watching toons in '92 or '93, but i just did a wikipedia search on it and found it, says it ran from 1997-98, thats why I've never heard of it, cause i was in 9th and 10th grade when it came out.

I just looked on Nelvana's website and at their toon catalog, everything on there is from the 90's into the 2000's, theres nothing Nelvana has that I want or would even want, does Shout have any other licensing deals with any other companies other than DIC and Nelvana as far as cartoons go? I wish Shout could get hold of that 12 or 13 episode run of the Robocop animated series than ran back in 1988, thats was a good cartoon, it was shirt lived but it was good. I'm sure the company that owns the Robocop franchise owns the toons rights but what are the chances of Shout getting the rights?

Something just crossed my mind, Shout has plans to release Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors in 2008 correct? Any the toon ran for about what 65 episodes i think i remeber seeing, ok I grew up in the 80's and i vaguely remeber this show, I never really watched it, but I want to make a comparison.....COPS was 65 or 66 episodes too right......in my opinion and I would think others would share this opinion, but COPS had to have been way more popular than Jayce and the wheeled warriors, maybe i'm wrong, but i mean COPS wasnt something like GI JOE or MASK, but COPS had its own toy-line, if COPS didnt sell good on vol.1 , then why would Jayce and the Wheeled warriors sell any better, i mean all i'm saying is if its 65 or so episodes Shout would probally have to put it out in what 3 box sets? the same they would have done with COPS....they'd have to have a strong fan-base to sell 3 vols of Jayce.....its just my opinion maybe i'm wrong but I dont see how it would see any better than COPS did, I would much rather see them finesh the COPS series out.

Jayce has a very big fan base with older people, it was in its day more poplour than mask and the mask dvd sets in australia are selling like hot cakes granted a lot of the sales are comign rom abroad but it still is.

i know there a lot of eurpeon fans that want it me included and i have been lettign a few know and there already gopign to preorder it, not sure if it will seell enough tog et vol2 i hope so but it will sell very good probally better than cops.

btw uk company is releasing the entire cops show to dvd

I'll take your word for it, but seriously, I will be 26 next month and I still only vaguely remeber that show

What about another volume of DIC's Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats since there was one in 2005.

I also wish Shout! Factory gets the rights with American Greetings to release the Get Along Gang DIC series on DVD in 2008-2009.

Maybe S'more Entertainment could do another DVD set of more Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats episodes by 2008 (S'more Entertainment - seperate and different from Shout! Factory? - is releasing soon on DVD DIC's The Littles, maybe Shout! Factory by 2008-2009 could get the DIC Get Along Gang DVD rights).

I even suggested these other DIC cartoons to be released on DVD: Dinosaucers, Beverly Hills Teens, Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n Wrestling, and the remaining episodes of the DIC ALF/ALF Tales cartoons Lionsgate wouldn't release.

C.O.P.S is getting done by achnor bay in the uk but i dnt know when they plan on releasing the dvds but they will be 4 epsiode volumes :( so will take ages unless they do a sonic underground

So heathcliff is sub license to your otehr company? does this mean there goign to release it?

Brian,

What are the odds of shout factory acquiring and releasing the Double Dragon series in 2008,or season 1 at least?

I really can't say much for popularity, but I pretty sure I remember reading that it at least won an Emmy (but don't quote on this) if that accounts for anything.

Oh, and what about Ulysses 31 (I know I asked that earlier, but didn't see a reply)?
