Disney basically only want all the shows connected with characters who have had recent motion pictures. Note that Max Ent only released 4/5 of the 60s Marvel Superheroes shows, avoiding the Hulk, an episode of which was released as an extra on Disney's sole Hulk animated DVD.

I guess they were able to release The Avengers because no one wants to touch that!
I think the Marvel lawsuit is going to push Disney to put out more DVDs. It has CERTAINLY pushed them to show more Marvel cartoons. I HOPE this is actually Disney putting out a collection of the 60s Marvel cartoons. Sure does seem like we would have heard something by now though.
 
JTalpur,

Is there a website available for these DVDs, or a subsite of some sort? I can't find an announcement about these anywhere!
 
I hear about The Marvel Superheroes on DVD because I would love to get it in 2005 on all 5 disc DVD Collection of the original 60's Cartoon Show that ran from 1966-1969 that has The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Sub Mariner, The Mighty Thor and Captain America on all 5 DVD's with all the episodes that rip off the pages of the comic book so I can wait to get that collection!
 
GREAT NEWS! It's been announced at TVSHOWSONDVD.COM! Unfortunately it doesn't come out until 6/28/05.

I hope they will be remastered like the SPIDER-MAN 67 COLLECTION.

Good work Brent!

Check out Sendit.com, search for one of the Marvel DVDs already released, open the page and click on the Maximum Entertainment link. This will give a list of all of ME's current and near-future releases. The dates are of course subject to change, but the list should give you an idea of what the actually plan to release. That's how I first heard about the Marvel volume 2 releases. ME do have a website, but it was pretty basic and uninformative the last time I checked.

This indeed great news! While I'm pleased that some of the episodes have already made their way to DVD in the UK, I think that Disney's US release has the potential to be superior to the UK release in every way.

First off, they can release all 5 of the shows (including the elusive Hulk), and secondly they could release all the episodes in unedited form, including all the title cards and recaps for each of the three mini-parts to make up an episode. The episodes are usually seen edited together these days, and the ME DVDs are no exception. The "Origin of the Hulk" 60s episode included on Disney's Hulk DVD however, was completely unedited.
 
so who can we write to to encourage the release of ALL the complete eps from each hero show? including all the brief recaps and ephemera...

Disney is impenetrable. Trust me. Send a letter to them and their secretary will just send it back to you. Anyone important will probably never see it.

The best thing you can do is set up a website that details everything you would want the discs to include. Then pray that they see it.
 
I know 2005 is only 5 months away when The Marvel Superheroes Collection will be release on 6/28/05 on all 5 disc DVD set that has The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Sub Mariner, The Mighty Thor and Captain America on all 5 disc DVD set plus they have The Marvel Superheroes Theme Song and The Merry Marvel Marching Society on all 5 DVD's of the original 60's cartoon show that ran from 1966-1969 when Grantray-Lawrence Animation/Krantz Films made The Marvel Superheroes Cartoon Show back in the 60's!

This could be the start of something new for Disney. Maybe this will help get the ball rolling on seperate releases. Then again, I have a feeling this DVD will hit on November 23rd, conveniently a week before Spider-Man 2 comes out.

More than likely. They also seem to be releasing The Marvel Superhero's Show from the 60's before the Fantastic Four film is released. No doubt we'll get an FF TAS DVD, probably one with the first 4 or 5 episodes. Then possibly a Dr. Doom related disc.

The 'classic' cartoons are getting better treatment than the modern ones, which isn't really cool because the modern ones are so much better!

Still, I'm worried about Spider-Man, despite the popularity of Hulk and X-Men, we've not seen either of them on DVD since their movies left theatres. :(

Marvel Super Heroes

Meet the sulky over-bulky kinda'
hulky superhero
A tuned-in-istic and electrically transistored superhero
An exotically neurotic and aquatic superhero
The Marvel Super Heroes have arrived!
Super powered from the forehead to the toes
Watch them change their shape before your nose
See a cane-striking superhero change to Viking superhero
A humdingin' real swinging shield flinging superhero
Their the the latest their the greatest ultimatist superheroes
The Marvel Super Heroes have arrived!

End Theme: Mighty Marvel Marching Society

Stand a little straighter.
Walk a little prouder.
Be an innovator.
Clap a little louder.
Grow forever greater.
We can show you how to.
Where will you be then?

You belong, you belong,
you belong, you belong
to the Merry Marvel Marching Society.
March along, march along,
march along to the song
of the Merry Marvel Marching Society.
If you growl, if you grown
with a down sour outlook,
if you howl, if you moan,
you can lose your sour grout
by keeping trim and in step
with the vim and the pep
of the Meery Marvel Marching Society.

Be an early riser.
Strive to be ambitious.
Speak a little wiser.
Try to be judicious.
Be a good advisor,
never ever vicious.
Where will you be then?

Face front...
Lift your head...
You're on the winning team...
DROP DEAD!

You belong, you belong,
you belong, you belong
to the Merry Marvel Marching Society.
March along, march along,
march along to the song
of the Merry Marvel Marching Society.
If you growl, if you groan,
and your star is nearly zero,
do not howl, do not moan,
you can be a superhero,
marching right along
to the fighting song
of the Merry Marvel Marching Society.
Has anyone ever here ever seen the opening for the Marvel Super Heroes show? This guy says he hasn't seen the original intro for the show since 1971. Anybody?

It certainly should be included in the DVD release.

They have the nostalgia thing going for them, but that is a discussion for a different thread. It does sound like the Spider-Man '67 set sold good, though.
 
Is this really worth seeing? Everything I've read indicates it's little more than watching the pages of a comic book.

Depends. It has nostalgic value. If you've never seen any before, and you are of a certain age, I think it would be pretty hard to sit through. If you are a fan of the classic Marvel comic books from the 60s though, you should get something out of it.
 
why have the marvel releases not borne the disney logo?

hmm... with all the video releases coming out from Buena Vista.. it's odd that they wouldn't use the disney name... unless they're scared that the superhero action would 'taint' the brand... which is kind of stupid.... but then again, we've never seen Gargoyles on dvd yet have we?

Gargoyles is coming on December 7th.

If you asked me Disney is being smart releasing these as Buena Vista titles. Marvel has already tried to sue Sony for "hi-jacking" Spider-Man.

hijacking.. how so..:confused:

Marvel claimed that all the commercials for the Spider-Man movie DVD made Spidey look like a Sony property and that it was not clear that Spidey was a Marvel property.

If Disney started putting "Walt Disney presents Spider-Man" on their DVDs, a lawsuit would not be far behind.

ah...

anyhow, what is the financial state of marvel (comics) anyway now? weren't they looking to sell themselves to a studio at one point?

Based on some of the rumor columns that is still a possibility. Even Sony and WB were mentioned as potential studios at one point.

So these DVDs would collect all of the animated shows from the 60s? And there was only 52 episodes overall?
 
Why can't Mystique's Revenge have Day of Recovery and Stuff of Heroes? It makes more sense to have the glorious saga all together.

Today marks the 25th Year Anniversary of when Pokémon Crystal was released in North America. To this day, the Johto Games remain my favorite games in the Pokémon Franchise.
Today marks the 15th Year Anniversary of ThunderCats (2011). While I find it unfortunate that the show was canceled before it had a chance to finish its story, I am glad that the show's art director was willing to give fans closure via a podcast interview.
Okay, so I found out that Sailor Moon had meet and greets at Universal Studios back in May. It would have been so cool if we had that at the turn of the century. I have gotten hugs from a Sailor Moon and a Sailor Mars at a local con back in the 2010s and spent under $100 doing it, so I don't know if this is worth the splurge but I can see that these affluent geeky people are enjoying their Sailor Moon hugs.
The characters from Netflix's Mating Season apparently were born from the same deeps as the Warner Bros cartoon characters
