I am irrationally excited by this... Sunday / 08.06.06 / 12:13AM / Joe
TaleSpin Volume 1 DVD set is released at the end of this month. Amazon is taking pre-orders at $23, which is over $10 under MSRP. You can even combo it with Darkwing Duck Volume 1 for $46.
The box claims "pilot + first 23 episodes," but I have not heard yet if this will be the original full length movie pilot... or the edited version that was cut down into episodic chunks for the show's daily run.
I suspect some purposeful re-ordering of the episodes... because you can plainly see Katie Dodd on one of those DVD inserts, and she only appeared in the epic two-parter "For Whom The Bell Klangs," which comprised episodes 39 and 40. Or they're just grabbing whatever production art they have lying around, and plan on using the same inserts for any and all TaleSpin boxed sets.
I also have not seen any speculation whether future DVD sets will include the show's pair of "banned" episodes, "Last Horizons" and "Flying Dupes." The former was only temporarily banned, but the latter has apparently only been seen twice (according to Wikipedia).
Hell, who knows if there will even be another DVD set. All I do know is that I am buying this one. |
