Starchaser: Legend of Orin (1985)

[Deadset]

You guys remember this movie right? Well I went ahead and bought a DVD version to replace my old VHS. This should mean that a bluray will come our way soon right?

I saw this in 3D - which would be awesome if they could release a 3D version on blruay. That said, I think MGM still owns the rights.

[Show spoiler]

So now that the DVD will be at my house tomorrow, a bluray announcement will soon follow. You can thank me later.

That's awesome - I didn't know it was in 3D originally...I have the DVD too - pretty violent for a kid's animated film!

Don't count on this coming to Blu ray anytime soon... Enjoy the upconverted DVD.

I used to think like that, but with all the cult titles released who knows. At this point, I think anything is fair game.

Exactly. MGM released Troll 2...granted it's more popular than Starchaser, but I hope they will take notice to this animated classic.

btw...I got the DVD for 6 bucks, a few amazon sellers still have some copies left, it seems it may be going OOP.

...So, Starchaser's got a cult documentary coming out?
(People, seriously: Are we going to hear this for the next FIVE YEARS every time there's a cult-movie request? Are we, yes or no?)

And while MGM snapped up the rights like their other Orion vacuum-cleaner of 80's indie-release B-distributor catalogues and Avco/Golan-Globus titles, it's not a catalog that much sees the light of day beyond download or mass-catalogue SD, unless there's a (ahemcheaptiein )--
Tell that to someone waiting for "Powaqqatsi", "Masters of the Universe" and fellow Atlantic Pictures release "Nutcracker:TMP", also languishing in MGM's Orion B-salvage basement.

I could have easily said any title from Shout Factory as well. So...to answer your question......maybe.

This movie does have some charm and possibly could get bluray treatment with the 3D titles taking off.

Always enjoy your posts EricJ. And yes, I'd love to upgrade my copy of Masters of the Universe DVD.

I honestly never thought to look for a DVD release of this LOL*just ordered his own copy*... THANK YOU for bringing this to attention. Add me to the list of people waiting and hoping for a Blu-ray release!

Dolph Lundgren's second best performance.

What is his first you ask?

Cool, welcome to forums! I finally decided to pick it up as I believe it's going OOP.

You never cease to amaze me with your humor. That is hilarious. Of course, you and I may be the only ones to have his punisher snapper DVD?

Check it out. It's a fairly good 80's animation movie. Sure the ideas aren't original...but it's highly entertaining - which is why we watch movies anyhow.

Arrived today!

I'd like to do an animation movie marathon, with this, American Pop, Fire and Ice...

But I'll probably keep with the Halloween theme and watch Vampire Hunter D
