"Top 40" SEVERIN KIDS Wishlist For Bluray

https://severinkids.com/

These are the films/shows I would love to see remastered on bluray by SEVERIN KIDS.

I have scoured the net to find an interview or other article that gives a mission statement for the newly formed Severin Kids line. I can't find one, so am unsure of the direction the company is going with this. Questions like...English only, or Foriegn kids films?, B/w or color only? Are films being looked at from all decades, or more specific time period? Just Family friendly, or also more serious coming-of-age films? They may be unsure themselves, and leaving things open.

So, for this list, I stuck to more weird, but light-hearted, family friendly kids films/shows, with some exception, that to my knowledge are not on Region A or free blu.
