X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Disney is releasing 2 volumes(2-disc) sets this coming April according to TVShowsonDVD.com. Not much more information is available at this time. Hopefully they release them in season sets. Good thing I didn't order them from R2.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Is about time!

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I always liked that series, despite not being into Marvel Comics. Hopefully, they won't have the same licensing issues that have plagued their Tick releases.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Hopefully Spider-man(90s animated) isn't too far behind.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Agreed.

I used to watch both series before I went to school in the morning. If these are season sets, I'll snatch them up in a second.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

So it wont be complete sets?

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I wonder if they'll just be the same as the R2 releases, but NTSC versions. I bought the R2 versions and they did a good job of cleaning up the videos and remastering the sound.

It should be if it's two discs. The R2 releases broke the series into single disc releases--Season One, Volume One and Season One, Volume Two. Two discs should add up to a complete season.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Good to know, hope so.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Dear people,

Provided these aren't those idiotic random episode compilations that have been released for other series, please please please and I stress this point......FUCKING BUY THESE!!!!! It has taken so long for Disney to release the Marvel animated properties they have the rights to and there certainly has been a demand. Now they are thankfully offering a supply, so let's not let what happened to the Gargoyle DVDs happen with X-Men or any other Marvel animated series they release so long as they're not random episodes.




Dear Disney,

It's about time and thank you! :)

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I didn't know Disney had the rights to these. Wasn't that the reason why 94-95 Fantastic Four Complete Series went out of print was because someone sued Buena Vista for releasing them?

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Yea this thread title wasn't missing a "?" !!!!!!!

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I'm not sure how accurate IMDB is and I know Disney doesn't necessarily do things like Warner Brothers does. According to TVShowsOnDVD we will be getting two double disc sets. Each season of The Batman was 13 episodes and was released on DVD as two disc sets containing each episode of their given season. IMDB states that the first two seasons of X-Men are 13 episodes each and the other seasons vary in length. At the very least these two releases *should* be the first two seasons, not that it's impossible to add more episodes to the discs. Any other volumes they release perhaps would be the longer seasons divided up to a certain amount of episodes. With there being 76 episodes total these releases could very well knock out 26 episodes leaving us with 50 more that need to be released.

If Disney works their magic like they did with the Home Improvement sets which were usually 25 episodes each there's no reason the complete series couldn't be released across four volumes.

Again I want to encourage everyone to buy these sets.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

We'll see if Disney actually continues to release these, they are notorious for starting a season and then stopping.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

It was Marvel and it wasn't because of the FF DVD, it was all the Marvel animated series Disney had rights to. But that mess was recently cleaned up which is why they are able to release these again.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Awesome, I'll buy these for sure.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I see no reason why they won't complete this series since this is a highly requested title and fans have been waiting for literally an eternity for these to come out.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

But then again this is Disney we're talking about.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Seasons 1 & 2 were 13 episodes each...logically the 4 DVD's across two sets would work.

For those wondering why Disney has these, they bought the rights to all the Fox shows years ago and aired them on ABC Family.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I'd like to see Fantastic Four(67 animated) released but not sure who owns the video rights. Hanna Barbera produced them but the characters are owned by Marvel. When the movies came out you would have thought that these shouldn't be too far behind.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I believe the 67 Fantastic Four is in rights hell and sadly will never see the light of day.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I usually use http://www.tv.com for TV series information.

Per them here is the Season Episode counts (goto http://www.tv.com/x-men/show/3557/ep...tml?season=All for episode titles and details).

S1 - 13
S2 - 13
S3 - 19 (skips an episode 8)
S4 - 17
S5 - 14

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Good news is Cable is both in Season One and Two, and having him features on the second disc....makes me think they might be Season sets. I can finally toss my crappy bootleg set.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Wow, finally, awesome news! I was talking to a buddy about these the other day!

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

great news. omg i got so excited reading that

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Nice. 2 disc of random episodes can join the Spider-Man discs of random episodes Disney released.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

There's no proof yet these are random episodes.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

If they were just random episodes, I doubt they'd release 2 2-Disc Sets.

I'm almost betting it's Season 1 and Season 2. Just listed as Volumes instead.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

i was SO EXCITED when i got the e-mail from tvshowsondvd announcing these. i figured these were just gonna be the same as the R2 sets, but i'm glad to hear that they're 2-disc sets each, which will hopefully mean there's the possibility that they'll be the full 13-ep season sets.

the only thing i'm not too excited about is the cover artwork. looks thrown together and doesn't really look like animation in the cartoon. but eh, i don't really care since they're FINALLY releasing something

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I never watched much of this show when I was a kid (I loved Spider-Man though) but if these 2 releases are the first two seasons I'll be buying them.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

If this is indeed S1 and S2, in order, I'm so all over these babies!

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I'm all over these! This show has been number one on my most wanted list for a long time. And hopefully this means the 90's Spidey show will be released at some point, too.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Yeah I'll wait for Spidey :) It'll be great to have it in my collection :)

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I'm with Binks on this. You don't go to the effort of releasing 2-disc volumes of random episodes. I know it is Disney we're talking about but let's give them the benefit of the doubt. I think when they see how well these will sell, they will get Spidey off the chopping block and hopefully start getting it out to the hungry fanbase. I'm givin this the banana dance :banana:

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Hopefully these are uncut...I remember the Spidey sets (the random ones) missing some bits here and there.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

I wouldn't be surpirised if they're edited. Even if they are, I'll still buy them, because if there's any chance this will help get Spidey TAS on DVD, I'll jump all over it.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

So where are Cable and Scott's legs at? Rob Liefelds son must have drawn those.

Re: X-Men(animated) coming to DVD
 

Buy these so they will continue and I can wait for the series set to come out and get that (because I am no longer interested in being inevitably ripped off by buying TV shows by the season/volume).
