Member since: 8/15/2010 | | Shout! Factory welcomes Hey Arnold!, Aaaah! Real Monsters and Danny Phantom | According to tvshowsondvd.com, the press release for The Wild Thornberrys has officially announced more upcoming titles to Shout!'s deal with Nick including Hey Arnold!, Aaaah! Real Monsters and Danny Phantom. The press release also makes mention that agreement allows Shout! to distribute DVD and Blu-Ray releases of these titles. As if getting these shows weren't enough, the sheer chance of seeing Blu-Ray releases of them is incredible. This is all exciting news and I can't wait to continue hearing about more future additions being added to this promising new line. Fingers crossed for Rugrats, Doug and of course some live-action classic shows! Thanks so much Shout! Factory.

Blu-Ray releases don't sound interesting at all, since they would be upscales. I doubt any of these older cartoon series have high quality masters available. |

Member since: 3/21/2007 | | RE: Shout! Factory welcomes Hey Arnold!, Aaaah! Real Monsters and Danny Phantom | I hate to be a party pooper, but I don't we'll see many (if any) Nicktoon releases on Blu-ray Disc, simply because most of the material was produced in standard definition. I suppose the earlier Nicktoons that were shot on film could be remastered in high definition if all the original prints/negatives are still around, but I'd imagine doing that would be too expensive and time-consuming.
I found a list of all Nicktoons produced in high definition over at http://www.toonzone.net/forums/showthread.php?t=279991
Nicktoons produced completely in HD:
The Penguins of Madagascar
Fanboy & Chum Chum
Planet Sheen
Other Nicktoons produced in HD for select episodes:
SpongeBob “Truth or Square”
Fairly OddParents “Wishology”
And all these shows are either still very popular and/or very recent, so it seems less likely that Nick would let Shout! release them.
I should also point out that obviously, the theatrical movies of Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Wild Thornberrys, Jimmy Neutron, and Barnyard could be released on Blu-ray Disc, but I'm pretty sure they're not part of Shout!'s deal with Nick, and that Paramount would rather release those themselves on Blu-ray Disc.
And lastly, since Nick now owns the 2003 Ninja Turtles cartoon, I should mention that the TV movie Turtles Forever was produced in high definition.

Real Monsters and Danny Phantom | | While the idea of Nickelodeon Blu-ray's is awesome, I do agree that it seems doubtful it will actually come to fruition. If it does, I will absolutely purchase both the DVD and Blu-ray versions. When a company, such as Shout!, releases something that I really love, much like the Roger Corman Cult Classic line, I buy both Blu-ray and DVD versions to support them as much as I can. 2011 is shaping up to be a hell of a year for Shout! and I literally can't wait to keep seeing what they have in store for us. |

Member since: 3/25/2011 | | RE: Shout! Factory welcomes Hey Arnold!, Aaaah! Real Monsters and Danny Phantom | I am thrilled that Shout! is releasing Danny Phantom! As a longtime fan of the show I would love to see tons of bonuses such as the original theme, cut scenes, promos, interviews, and anything else available. The "Inside the Nicktoons Studios" segments where Butch Hartman draws Danny and the "Reality Trip" recording session would be great, too!
New cover art would be appreciated as well. Amazon's Season 1 cover has Danny with his emblem. He didn't get that until Season 2.
Thanks so much for releasing Danny Phantom DVDs! I can't wait to get them! |

And what I'm hope for is a new Ren and Stimpy box set (with every single episode uncut) and a re-release of the Invader Zim Complete Series box set with old, new, and rare bonus material. And how's this for an idea?; The Penguins Of Madagascar: The Complete 1st Season. |

Member since: 2/2/2008 | | RE: Shout! Factory welcomes Hey Arnold!, Aaaah! Real Monsters and Danny Phantom | So far all I've seen is that Shout is putting out whatever Nick gives them, which is the same cut stuff and all that. From my point of view, Shout has no problem going back to Sony, Universal, Hasbro or other companies they've worked with for a long time and getting in their face and saying "give me the real version of this", but the newer studios they seem more timid with. As if they're scared to lose their chance to sign on to more agreements if they piss the wrong person off. Sorry if this ticks off any Shout employees reading it, but that's just how it seems to me.

Member since: 4/14/2009 | | RE: Shout! Factory welcomes Hey Arnold!, Aaaah! Real Monsters and Danny Phantom | Unfortunately there seems to be a growing number of shows that are in some way edited whether it's because of film deterioration, music rights or because a studio finds material no longer appropriate. The thing is no matter how badly Shout! wants to release the un-edited versions of shows it's not up to them, it's either release what there given or don't release anything at all, yes it's a bummer but it's out of their hands. I just hope they can release some of the modern Nick shows before they need to be edited.

Member since: 8/20/2009 | | RE: Shout! Factory welcomes Hey Arnold!, Aaaah!

Alot of Nick toons and shows from the 90's only had about 13 episodes a season, compared with other sitcoms on other channels. |

Member since: 4/27/2011 | | RE: Shout! Factory welcomes Hey Arnold!, Aaaah! Real Monsters and Danny Phantom | | The reason why so many people want Shout Factory to put out Ren & Stimpy and Invader Zim on dvd because Invader Zim is out of print. Ren & Stimpy was never really been released multiple times. Ren & Stimpy only been released on dvd two times. I didn't like the company that put out Ren & Stimpy season sets. They lied about The Complete Frist and Second Seasons by saying its uncut. Seasons Three and a Half-ish?, Season Five and Some More of Four? If they have didn't have it uncut, I don't know why that the cover says uncut. I don't know why, they put half seaon four on season three dvd. I don't why, they put more season four epsides on season five dvd. I wish Shout Factory would put out Ren & Stimpy DVD in season sets. |

In another thread, a person came up with, which i think, is the GREATEST idea ever. Double Dare 25th Anniversary boxed set. I love watching all the animated nicktoons too, but I really hope Shout has some tricks up there sleeves to put out this boxed set, and also put out some other awesome game shoes on dvd as well, like Legends of the hidden temple and What Would You Do? . |

And that's EXACTLY why I support this move. It'd also be more life-lasting, being kid proof scratch resistant and all. But so far I haven't seen a blu-ray release that comes with SD material upscaled to HD.
Better yet, they make it go hybrid. A DVD with Blu-Ray layering. |

Member since: 1/12/2007 | | RE: Shout! Factory welcomes Hey Arnold!, Aaaah! Real Monsters and Danny Phantom | As I mentioned in another thread, it doesn't financially make sense to author and manufacture BDs for SD releases. Blu-rays cost studios (and us) 3-4 times what it costs to produce DVDs. So even if you're simply using it as storage, you're still spending a ton on production and manufacturing of each disc.
Secondly, in terms of spacial issues, with the advent of viva cases--those that have room for as many as six discs in one standard amaray--, a 6-disc set is now no bigger than a single-disc set. So you're not saving any room on your shelves at all.
