PONYO (New Miyazaki Film) DVD/BD coming 3/2/10!!



Frank Marshall the co-producer of the US release of Miyazaki's and Studio Ghibli's "Ponyo" movie, confirmed on his Twitter page this week that the film's DVD and Blu-ray Disc releases will both ship on March 2, 2010. He added that a 2-Disc DVD & Plush Gift Set will bundle a plush doll of the title character for a limited time only. While a similar BD-and-plush gift-set has not been scheduled, Marshall said that "if the DVD version works, there could be a Blu-Ray plush version."

THUNDERCATS, SILVERHAWKS, & VOLTRON on the cheap!!


Walmart is currently carrying (for a limited time) all of Thundercats & Voltron dvd seasons & the 1st season of Silverhawks (all that has been released at this point, the 1st 32 eps) for just $19.96 each. Chance are this is the last of warehouse stock that you have been seeing at places like Newbury Comics, but with Thundercats retailing @ $46.99, Voltron @ $29.99, & Silverhawks @ $31.99 at normal retail/Amazon, this maybe your last chance to own the original (& maybe only for some) releases of these series on the cheap.
They are in the main DVD section along with the new Transformers & GI Joe dvd's, (which now also contains current figures of both Hasbro franchises to ignite multiple purchases.)
Highly Recommended!!

RESOLUTE DVD specs


Be prepared for your invatation to the GI JOE RESOLUTE animation & the GI JOE RISE OF COBRA live-action viewing back to back right here for the 1st week of November!!

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Experience G.I. JOE like never before when the action-packed G.I. JOE: RESOLUTE arrives on DVD for the first time ever November 3, 2009 from Paramount Home Entertainment. Featuring a more sophisticated animation style and story than prior animation and intended for the adult fan that grew up with the brand in the 80’s, G.I. JOE: RESOLUTE is an intense vision of the raging battle between the G.I. JOE team and the menacing COBRA organization. The G.I. JOE team is a highly trained, classified special operations unit that officially doesn’t even exist. This elite team fights a secret war as the first and last line of defense against forces that seek to plunge our world into chaos.

Hasbro developed the bold, state-of-the-art animation with executive producer Sam Register as well as a dynamic creative team including Joaquim Dos Santos, a veteran animation director, who worked closely with award-winning comic writer Warren Ellis, who penned the story. This highly regarded team brings an edgy, intense feel to the animation, which features the most popular characters from the
G.I. JOE vs. COBRA saga such as DUKE, SCARLETT, SNAKE EYES and
COBRA COMMANDER.

The G.I. JOE: RESOLUTE DVD includes illuminating interviews with the filmmakers, storyboards, G.I. JOE files, exclusive bonus footage and a “Now You Know” teaser promo. The DVD will be available for the approximate retail price of
$19.99 U.S./$22.99 Canada.
