Member since: 3/3/2010 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | You realize that "best quality" and Mill Creek is an oxymoron right? They're a bare bones company that WON'T give any extras, and if they did release those shows below they'll come in piss poor packaging with paper DVD sleeves. Is that really what you want? Why not just buy the Shout versions????
Dude i hate to sound rude but this is the most ignorant and flat out stupid post I've ever read on these forums. Its the mentality like this that caused BCI to go out of business, and its one of the reasons we don't have a complete Jayce or C.O.P.S. Sorry if it seems mean but its ridiculous and ignorant to come on a company's forum and request that a DIFFERENT company that will release poorer quality versions of the shows that you can get on Amazon or Shout's own store RIGHT NOW!
I'm not trying to flame you, but you deserve a tongue lashing, and I hope you think more about what you're going to type in future posts.

However, most if not all of the shows you listed you can get from Shout, in the best quality you'll ever see them as far as bit rate, box art, and extras go unless and until some other company comes along that can find a way to release better quality sets and still make money. I'm almost certain that won't happen anytime soon, and I AM certain that company isn't Mill Creek. |

Member since: 1/10/2011 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | Grune do you even know that Shout Factory has sub-licensed shows to Mill Creek Ent? Before you chastise people at least Mill Creek is offering an alternative to stuff that is already out of print. Some of their releases like He-man 2002 series and Dungeons and Dragons are fine, even their Dungeons and Dragons didn't have the music edits.
Stuff that is still out from Shout Factory like Zelda and the like doesn't need to be re-released but to think the casual consumers are going to buy always the more expensive sets seems like you don't realize the mentality of the casual fan. I am in the business of selling these retro sets and I can say a lot of casual buying customers have brought stuff like the He-man 80s 65 episodes collection, it's much harder to get them to buy like 4 box sets at 40 dollar apiece when BCI put them out. As a hardcore collector I do buy the better sets but Mill Creek Ent. has it's purpose. Do you think the release of the Disney Afternoon shows were nothing but barebones? Some times it's better to have the show in some form on dvd then to let it rot away in the vaults never to be seen again. I hope Mill Creek keeps at it and releases stuff we never seen on dvd before.

Grune_The_Destroyer
Member since: 3/3/2010 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | Dave, I'm well aware that Mill Creek is releasing C.O.P.S. through a sub license of Shout, and I'm none to happy about it. Most of those sets the guy I was chastising named aren't $40 sets though. They can be had for between $20 and $30 a volume through Shout, and probably cheaper through Amazon. My main point is he was hoping that Mill Creek would put out sets of those shows he named with lots of extras. I don't care if you're an enthusiast or a casual fan, that is an ignorant statement due to not knowing how Mill Creek operates. They are a budget company and they will cut every corner they can from compressing the video quality to squeeze more episodes per disc to packaging said discs in paper sleeves instead of the plastic pop-outs that hold them in place and prevent or reduce scratching. Since you mentioned the He-Man DVD sets, if you haven't already, why don't you hop over to He-Man.org and check out the forums on the Mill Creek release of the Filmation show. There are some people over there that have good things to say about it, but plenty of people that have had problems with the packaging and discs.
Also, while I understand what you're talking about in regards to the casual fan, I'm tired of having to see <insert whatever pop culture thing you want here from DVD sets to video games> have a reduction in quality to appeal to casual fans. It'd be ok if both Shout and Mill Creek put out DVD sets to appeal to both sets (Shout producing a much smaller, limited number of higher quality sets with more extras and better packaging), but it never happens this way with DVD sets. You get one company that makes one set, that's it. In the case of C.O.P.S., core fans and 80s enthusiasts now have to tolerate a much lower quality set in order to reel in those casual fans you mentioned, that wouldn't buy the Shout sets, in order to make the sales quota necessary to turn a profit. So yeah, as far as I'm concerned the casual fan can stick it.
Above and beyond anything else I've typed though, if he or anyone else is a Mill Creek fan and want them to release a show, POST IT ON THE MILL CREEK BOARDS! Not here where Shout fans of like mind would rather Shout retain the rights to a license in order to put out better quality sets.

But I have to question why shows like this need bonus features at all. Most of DiC's shows were badly animated, written and usually never made it past one season. I would rather have bare bones sets if it kept the costs down and made it more likely for the series to be completed. |

The bonus features for the early DIC sets were not expensive to produce, as I edited a lot of them on my computer at the office. Since I'm salaried, I think they got a deal.
As for to bonus feature or not to bonus feature, we try to treat everything like it's the gold standard. While it's not your favorite show, it's someone else's and I've been told by plenty over the years that they appreciate that effort made to those shows. And it's not like you're going to fit 30 more episodes onto a four-disc set by removing a 20-minute featurette.

I may have all the Nintendo/DiC shows, as well as the Sonic cartoons (still don't want Sonic Underground, and who can blame it for being a bit lousy?) that I wanted, but there's a bit more I could get, like all of Rocko's Modern Life, or a Money-saving First Season bundle for the Super Hero Squad Show!

Member since: 5/28/2010 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | | Good question. It seems like it has been 4 months since I read somewhere that the 1990 DIC GI Joe series was coming to dvd. I sure hope that it will come to dvd. It could be done as a complete series or 2 volumes of 22 episodes each. |

Brian said DiC G.I. Joe would be coming out next year. Cookie Jar doesn't own every DiC title. |

Only thing that Brian said was don't expect it this year, we have too many projects started and we want to give it the treatment it deserves. At this point it's purely fan assumption that the DiC G.I.Joe episodes will be released by Shout in 2012.
Cookie Jar may not own every DiC title, but Shout has yet to either confirm or deny if DiC G.I.Joe will be affected by Shout's loss of the DiC license at years end.
If Shout does release DiC G.I.Joe in 2012, it will probably be another rush job like Conan to have something out in time for G.I.Joe 2: Retaliation.

Member since: 2/22/2007 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | | I don't see why it would be a rush job when Shout! already has the DVD rights now. They aren't going to have a press release until it is close to a release date. I wouldn't be surprised if they timed it for the new Joe movie. It has been said in the past that Hasbro owns it. The rights to M.A.S.K. and Inspector Gadget aren't in Cookie Jar's hands now either. |

Member since: 6/2/2009 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | People aslo assumed that Hasbro had the rights to the Go-Bots series, because of their buyout of Kenner but they don't.
Shout factory has had the rights to Conan since the announcement of their Transformers/G.I.Joe complete series, so the length of time they have held the rights doesn't necessarily mean they will put out quality sets.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/GI-Joe-DVDs-Planned/15196
There is no telling when Shout! picked up Conan. I don't recall news breaking out on Conan until very recently. If Shout doesn't think DiC G.I. Joe will be a huge seller, it is possible they will put little effort into it, but it won't be because they had to quickly get it out in time to capitalize on the movie like what was most likely the case with Conan. There is still a lot of time before next June. |

Member since: 1/12/2007 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | Just looking at the tail end of this conversation, as I don't have much time to respond.
I can say this...
We are working on G.I. Joe by DiC. Due to a NUMBER of other releases that have to come out this year, I'm not able to devote all the time necessary to get it out by December. But I can say that you should look for it not too long after that, most likely. Don't worry. Time and effort are being put into it. But we didn't set a date on purpose.
Second, we obtained Conan not long before the press release. And, yes, retailers were very keen on having a Conan release around the time of the movie. I wouldn't say the first season was particularly rushed. You'd be surprised how much was attempted, in terms of bonus material. Doesn't mean you won't see any of it in the future. But it wasn't nearly as well archived as more successful series like Transformers, G.I. Joe or Jem and the Holograms.

Member since: 1/13/2009 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | Hey Brian! Do you think there would be any chance of Shout! Factory getting the rights to release a proper Thundercats 80s collection? WB is just not cutting it. I would love to see the series get the Shout touch. I would also love to see a good release for Silverhawks and Tiger Sharks as well. Please help make it happen Brian, for Jagas Sake.

Member since: 3/3/2010 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | Actually I can answer that one. Its not happening any time soon. Warner Bros. is actually re-releasing the same crappy DVD series in smaller 2 disc sets later this year (season 1 part 1 is already out - http://www.amazon.com/Thundercats-Season-1-Part/dp/B004UOHNAW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1312351164&sr=8-11) to coincide with the new ThunderCats reboot cartoon currently on Cartoon Network). Its the EXACT same crappy set that was released from 2005 - 2006 that was way overpriced. No updates, no video restoration, no improvements.
Maybe there's a slim chance for SilverHawks and TigerSharks (though not likely), but absolutely no chance of ThunderCats at this time.

Member since: 1/12/2007 | | RE: No more DIC Cartoons | u should look online but i manage to get Season 2 both Volumes for 12 dollars each brand new. I got Season 1 Part 1 for full price (cant remember how much...40 was it?) at walmart durning its original release and Part two for 25 bucks back in 2008.
I never did get past Part 1 for some reason but with the new cartoon recently airing, i rewatched from Volume 1 and now im about at the end of Season 1 Volume 2. With the new cartoon airing every friday,i think i'll watch Season 2 through out August. I actually enjoy the new series although its not exactually what i was expecting but its not very often i can say an animation, especially something thats a ReBoot of an old 80s cartoons that actually works out (*ahem TMNT & Sonic....*ahem).
