Sonic Christmas Blast (and other Dic animated specails) From ShoutFactory
I just read this on TVshowsondvd.com:

"Shout! Factory is getting together a new 2-disc collection of cartoon yuletide adventures with their upcoming DVD release called DiC's Animated Christmas Blast.  This 150-minute compilation will have several holiday-themed episodes from various DiC-produced animated series, including the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog "Christmas Blast" special was previously released on DVD as a separate disc.


This will be available starting on September 9th.  Cost is $14.99 SRP, and you can pre-order from Amazon right away at a discounted price.  We've asked Shout! about the detailed contents for this release, but they were not able to immediately provide them.  Stay tuned, though, and we'll bring you that info, plus package art, when they become available."

I myself own the previously re-relased dvd of the Sterling Animation Station's Sonic's Christmas Blast, but am definitely going to pick this up.  Especially if the set has Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas.  I just hop there will be bonus features galore as per usual with Shout's releases of Dic's classics.

By the way for those of you who are interested I actaully copied all the text in the quotes from TVshowsondvd.com.  To do this you just need to open the page's source code located under the view tab on the top of your browser when you are on the page.  Once the source code is open look for the text that you want to copy from the page in the source code and copy it via Ctrl+C than paste here on the forum using Ctrl+V.

RE: Sonic Christmas Blast (and other Dic animated specails) From ShoutFactory

ok so far we have: Sonic Christmas Blast and Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas (maybe)

im thinking: Koopa Klaus from SMBSS and the Night Before Cave Chirstmas from CN&tnSMW. granted that these two are short episodes but those are the only holiday episodes i can think of, unless they were able to get more rights to other DiC shows that we may/maynot know about.

i thought up of another holiday project that Shout Factory could probably do and it has to do with New Years Day.

heres the list for the idea...

1) Kevin In Videoland (Captain N Season 1)

2) Gameboy (Captain N Season 2)

3) The Bird! The Bird! (SMBSS Season 1).

4) The Fire of Hercufleas (SMBSS Season 2)*

5) Mighty McMario and the Pot of Gold (SMBSS Season 3)*

6) Plumbers Academy (SMBSS Season 4)*

7) Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas/ Reptiles in the Rose Garden (tAoSMB3)

8) The Ringer (Legend of Zelda)

9) Fire Sale/ Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods (CN&tnSMW)

10) Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad (AoStH)

11) Heads or Tails (Sonic SatAM)

12) Beginings/Origins Pt. 1 (SU Season 1)

13) Getting to Know You/Origins Pt. 2 (SU Season 1)

14) Harmony or Something/Origins Pt. 3 (SU Season 1)

15) The Jewel in the Crown (SU Season 2)

and toss in any other first episodes of other DiC shows that Shout Factory currently has available to them for use.

*provided that SMBSS followed a 13 eps/season contract

for bouns material i would suggest a bouns audio cd featuring the intros/opening credits/titles/themes from said shows.

just so Shout Factory knows that this is only a suggestion, but it would be rather cool if they can tackle a project like this, so Brian do you think you and the rest of the Shout Factory Team could do this if you were to take on this awsome project?

At least it would give people a sample of what Shout Factory has produced for DiC shows and who knows it might get people to go out and buy the box sets to get the rest of the episodes from their favorite shows and would help increase sales for Shout so they would be able to put out more shows and obtain new licences from other companies to make more DVDs

Sorry for the long post had to get that off my mind, had this idea brewing for quite sometime.

I can see the Christmas DVD have the following:

- Sonic Christmas Blast
- Koopa Klaus
- The Night Before Cave Christmas
- Sabrina: A Witchmas Carol
- Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas
- The Littles Christmas Special

And maybe something else I'm not sure it'll have.

what only 5 holiday specials?! what a rip-off! the only way im buying that is if they include the other 5 shows that we mentioned earlier in this thread that would give us 10 holiday specials then it would be worth the $15-$20 dollars that we paid for. hey brian time to redo this prodject. sorry to be a bah-humbug about it but its holiday specials being put on dvd here it should mean something special.

I wont be buying this because i have no intrest in the cartoons on that Christmas blast thing, they were all after my toon watching time, but what blows my mind is if this set has 5 episodes, why is it 2-disc? Doesnt make a lot of sense.

Well, I'm definitely getting it. I haven't seen "A Hollywood Hounds Christmas" since it originally aired. This DVD wasn't on my "list" necessarily, but with the addition of the aforementioned Hollywood Hounds special, I suddenly became interested. I'm certainly going to see about getting it.
