X-Men: Animated Series (90's Toon) on DVD!!

[Beast]

I wasn't sure where else to put this, but I had to get the word out. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has fond memories of the 90's toon. It's been one of the top requested cartoons to be released on DVD for ages. And it's finally coming. According to TV Shows On DVD, 2 2-Disc Volumes of the 90's X-Men Animated Series are coming this way on April 28th from Disney! It'a about time, and hopefully unlike Gargoyles we'll see the full series released. Here's the link to the full news and the early, subject to change, art. Can't wait!!

Since each one is a 2-Disc set, they're probably basically doing the same thing the UK releases did. Which means each volume is probably one season. Since in the UK the show got released last year in 1-Disc sets with half a season each. Here's how they broke 'em down over there. Can't wait for this!!

Yeah, the UK release was a series kick in the balls.

With the "Marvel Comic Book Collection" banner across the top, hopefully we'll see some of the other shows. Especially the 90's Spider-Man toon. Especially since there's a pair of crossover episode between Spidey and X-Men in one of the seasons. The 2-Parter was released in Canada recently.

Best news ever. I've been waiting for this series to hit DVD for ages. I have the entire series on DVD that I got from Ebay about a year ago, but a proper transfer is what was lacking for me. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes!!! Finally!! But I hope Disney does it right and release the ENTIRE series on dvd. I am still pissed at Disney because they never finish releasing the entire series of Gargoyles on dvd. I am still waiting for them to release it. Just concern they won't release the WHOLE X-men series on dvd.

Disney has been sitting on this for far too long. And while Disney is great for Blu-ray releases, they unfortunately aren't too great with animated tv show releases so I'm still a bit worried.

Here's a breakdown of the seasons/episodes according to tv.com

Season 1 - 13 episodes
Season 2 - 13 episodes
Season 3 - 20 episodes
Season 4 - 17 episodes
Season 5 - 14 Episodes

77 episodes in total (sorta - it seems 1 episode is kind of a duplicate). Too many for four 2 disc releases. Perfect for five 2 disc releases though. 16 episodes on volume 1 & 2 and 15 episodes on the rest. I'm sure if they were going to release them in seasons than they would have called them that instead of vol 1 & 2

Hopefully we get vol 3 & 4 when Wolverine hits Blu-ray. And knowing Disney, we'll never get vol 5. Seriously, have they finished releasing any of the animated shows they've released on DVD?

*Note - I think 2 episodes in that list are out of order to the numbers of episodes per season could be altered a bit.

This is awesome, I was considering buying a bootleg lol.

Speak of the devil, as soon as I say in a post a couple of weeks ago that this series will never see a U.S. dvd release, it shows up. I do have some fears about Disney releasing it though. They simply have not treated many of their animated television properties properly on dvd. The Tick is still waiting on a third season release and two scattered episodes they left off the first two seasons. If these X-Men volumes do not sell well initially, the remaining volumes will never come out. Disney is ruthless like that with tv properties.

I really should not complain as I have like 72 of the 77 episodes recorded off cable to dvd-rs.

In regard to The Tick, those two episodes were left off for rights issues apperantly.

I agree that Disney is very poor in releasing animation in boxsets. I believe the are releasing it as volumn to see how many sales it generate and if it would be profitable for them to continue releasing the entire series. I guess what I am saying is, Disney care more about money in thier pockets then thier fans. They already have a bad reputation from earlier animation release and for people like myself will be cautious to purchase these if Disney won't release the whole series.

I know, but I have heard another reason might have been to save them for the last volume which apparently will never come out.

[assydingo]

Only seen a few eps. Good show regardless.

[dvd_mazter]

Cool, I was watching a few episodes on youtube last week and it is a good show. Now, only they would release the Spider-man series on DVD and my old saturday morning cartoon collection would be complete

[Blufury]

Wow. I hope each of these volumes are complete seasons. A must buy for me!

[MAPdead]

I have a complete series bootleg release of Spider-Man I was thinking of getting an X-Men set as well but this is good maybe they will have like 20 episodes on them. Disney has done a good job with their shows like Ducktales , Darkwing Duck etc. But still I hope we don't get screwed like they did with Spider-Men releasing the ones like Spidey Vs Doc Ock or Spidey Vs Venom those really pissed me off they only had like 5 episodes on them.

HAHA me too! I grew up on Batman, Superman, X-Men, and Spider-Man and I've recently purchased Batman and Superman so this is good news.
