The French have kick ass cartoon boxsets!
Found this link while surfing for He-man sets. I had no idea about some of these. Like M.A.S.K! Does anyone know if these have an english track?
Check out this link and scroll till it ends.

I got the French R-2 Tex Avery box set and it is very sweet indeed.
It comes in a very nice tin case, ala Band of Brothers, features a sketch-book, and it has loads of extras - everything is in english, so no sub-titles necessary (French subs are not forced).
Sadly, it's no longer in print - I got it for around 65euros - now, it's going for almost double that.

It's really too bad those boxsets do not even have subtitles, let alone an english track. But it does give hope that MASK and He-Man will be released in R1 in the future.

Well, the He-Man sets in the UK are pretty sweet. They dont do sets (well, the first 3 discs have been gathered in one box, but they were released one at a time), but the discs are sweet looking, do have some extras and look really nice.
The UK also has Real Ghostbusters, a disc of MASK (a show better left in my past *shudder*), Danger Mouse - just to name a few. So France doesnt have ALL the kick ass cartoons.

Yeah, I was thinking about ordering the He-man set from the UK. I ordered the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon set and it kicks some major arse. But it seems that He-man would be a better candidate to come over to region 1 then Mask. Maybe I'll get the vol 1-3 boxset and wait till they put out 4-6 in a set as well. 16 episodes per boxset compared to the 25 per box that France has. Not too bad.

If I was a betting man, I would lay money on He-Man coming out in R1. When I was last keeping tabs on it, the folks who currently have the show (A UK company called Entertainment Rights) very strongly plan on marketing the show in the US.
Just a matter of time. . . .

How many cartoons does it have? Are they all 100% uncensored?

You can still get it (linked below), but that is the 4-disc version, without the 5th disc that has the extras, and it's not in a tin.

But you might want to wait for the R1 release, as it may contain ALL the uncensored shorts, along with more extras.

There is also a Betty Boop set just out in France: Here at alapage. For some reason not up at Amazon.

Who says the R1 will ever come out :/
damn I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Does the Betty Boop disc have all shorts?
You know I've watched some Betty Boop stuff and wondered what all the hype is about.
