Disney I'd Love to see The Tick, Glory Days, Dino-Riders Too

I Think it's so awesome that Disney has started releasing DuckTales & Chip & Dale on DVD and with the talk of other shows (The Little Mermaid, That's So Raven, Even Stevens & Mighty Ducks etc) wouldn’t it be great if Disney put out a few other shows that have been screaming for a DVD release. Two of the shows mentioned in the title are from animation packages that Disney now owns.

The Tick was a great show that aired on Fox Kids eleven years ago. It was a funny show about a superhero that sometimes wasn't the brightest bulb who protected the City from evil with his trusty sidekick Arthur. This show has legions of fans and I'm always surprised how many people come out of the woodwork when a topic is started about this coming on DVD. It would be wonderful if Disney finally released this, It's one of the cartoons in that long list that's well overdue for a DVD.

Glory Days is a show that was created by Dawson's Creek's Kevin Williamson for the WB in 2002. It was about a writer who after writing a best seller about his hometown's dirty secrets returns home when he has writer's block and now must face everyone again. He joins his family working for the local paper and starts to uncover some of the town's secrets. This was a really cool show and it would be great to have a complete series of it. I'm pretty sure Disney owns this but not completely.

*EDIT* I can't believe I forgot about this one. Mad Jack The Pirate was another Fox Kids cartoon that was about a pirate whose life was only meaningful if he had treasure. It was pretty hilarious and was created by Bill Kopp who did The Eek the Cat show. This show would be perfect to tie in with The Pirates of the Caribbean movie next summer. It just would be great to own this great show on DVD. It was one of my favourites at the time.

Lastly comes Dino-Riders which was a cartoon that came out in the end of the eighties that was about two groups (The Valorians who were good and The Rulons who were evil) who were battling with each other were then sent back in time to the Prehistoric Age where they now use the help of Dinosaurs to aid in the battle. It was a pretty cool show that had an amazing toyline back in the day. It would be awesome if this came out it's pretty obscure for an eighties cartoon but was really cool and would be nice to have on DVD.[/b]

I dont know if disney OWNS the cartoon but I know The Live-action show went to DVD by Sony or somebody.

Yeah the live action version was released by Sony. Disney bought the Saban library which includes The Tick and Mad Jack the Pirate.

Anything is possible and I think after a year of airing on Jetix The Tick will be released to DVD since younger viewers will already be introduced to the characters thus they will want the DVDs.

Before we see the Saban shows on DVD, we need to see all of the Disney cartoons on DVD.

Probably, but you never know. It Disney's rights will exspire in a few years then they will "milk" the cow for alls its worth.

I'm hoping too that Tick airing on Jetix might help it get a DVD release.

Agreed. IMO, these shows can wait. I'd rather have the other Disney shows like Darkwing Duck and Talespin make their DVD debuts first.

I want the Tick now! Why should I have to wait for Disney to release crappy shows like Dark Wing Duck, Rescue Rangers, Tail Spin, etc before I get the Tick. :roll:

Those shows are not in the least bit crappy. Don't know where you got that assumption from.

I used to watch those shows. The only ones that were good was Goof Troop, Gargoyales & maybe the pre Bubba episodes of Duck Tales. Both The Tick & Peter Pan & the Pirates are a lot better than any of those Disney TV cartoons. :roll:
