Speaking of TV shows, and wanting it now, even though I’m currently jobless, I will nonetheless show up early to the stores on a certain day that will live in infamy to pony up cash for Gargoyles!
Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers - a highly absurd Swedish short about a gang of percussion-obsessed housebreakers. I yearn for a copy of this so much that I actually contacted the director, who said it would be available ‘soon’, but that must have been a year ago or more.
King Kong. I figured they’d have put out some kind of special edition for the seventieth anniversary last year, but I guess not. I hope they’re just waiting to piggyback on Peter Jackson’s version.
You can’t release a DVD of a movie which was never made.
In all seriousness, I do own that movie on DVD. It originated from Europe. I don’t get why Disney won’t pull their heads out of their asses and release it here. There’s nothing more offensive than what was in some of those On the Front Lines cartoons, and what could be considered offensive could be cleared up with a 2 minute Leonard Maltin intro.
Besides, with the kind of pacing that movie has, most kids these days probably won’t even want to watch it unsupervised anyway…
Most Jim Henson TV series are reluctant to be released on DVD. Even the original movies are barebones, and the Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock are only selected episodes.
But since the buyout of Henson by Disney, new DVDs are one of the many things planned on happening.
