Obscure animated 80s and 90s shows on dvd/bluray? - Blu-ray Forum

Gargus · 02-23-2020, 03:04 PM

For whatever reason I ran across duckman the complete series on dvd on Amazon and I bought it. But it made me wonder what other kind of obscure animated shows made it to dvd and blu ray I have no idea about.

Any suggestions?

Not sure if it qualifies as obscure, but I have the Steven Spielberg-produced Freakazoid DVDs. Wacky show, kinda hit-and-miss. But they got Ricardo Montalban to do this...

I wouldn't consider it obscure but the very underrated Jon Lovitz show "The Critic" is on DVD

I vaguely remember a cartoon named Barbapapa I used watch when I was very young. I see they have DVDs. It is aimed at a very young audience though.

Other than that my three favourites when I was a kid were (not obscure though) Ulysses 31, Willy Fog and Dogtanian.

Dogtanian was very popular in England in the mid 80s.

Batfink was another good one although my personal fave was The Racoons with the great Cyril Sneer.

not that obscure but the kids and I both love these:

Probably not that obscure, except maybe for people today who didn't grow up with it, but Aeon Flux is on DVD.

There was talk of a Blu-ray release, I think back when the live-action film came out, but so far it hasn't happened. I would happily double-dip.
