VAs on DVD: January-February 2010 Feature

Look for further additions to this feature through the end of February.

As always, readers can stay informed of all blog updates/additions via Twitter (@voiceroy) and Facebook.

Please note that I do not attempt to list every single upcoming animated title. This report is to highlight notable releases for the voice casts and bonus content of upcoming releases as well as noteworthy on-camera appearances by voice actors.

And for the record, I rarely mention “best of” or volume collections of anything which include only a handful of episodes and no worthwhile bonus content. It’s obvious that such titles are marketed to families only. They’re a deliberate attempt to increase profits by selling low-content titles in a series rather than season sets, thereby ignoring DVD collectors and fans of the shows being released.

On a related note, I’ve created a Facebook group — Animated DVD Collectors — for collectors of all things animated on DVD and Blu-Ray. Come, be one of us…one of us!

Update: 2.14.2010

– In an exclusive interview with Animation World Network, Avatar director James Cameron says fans can expect to see the film released on DVD and Blu-Ray “toward the end of April or May.”

AWN adds, “This will be followed by ‘value-added’ Blu-ray and DVD box sets for Christmas with a lot of ‘feature shock.’ There might even be a bare bones 3-D Blu-ray also released for Christmas.”

As for the possibility of an “extended cut, Cameron says there will not be one, “but rather lots of additional scenes as bonus features”:

“To me, AVATAR is the cut that I wanted to put out,” Cameron explains. “Again, no pressure from the studio… What we may do is one of these branching path things where you can sort of program your own version of the movie, so you can watch a longer or shorter version of it, as long as both are available in the same package at the same time.

“And if the seamless branching works out, and you can pre-select the 15-minute or the 10-minute longer version of the film, well, that’ll be an interesting experience because every once in a while something will pop up that you never saw before. And I think that could be kind of cool: you’re rolling along and all of a sudden, ‘Wow, what is that?’ Here’s what bothers me: I don’t like this kind of revision, this kind of rewriting of history where one version starts to replace another version. To me, the definitive version of the movie is what we released. But it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with the technology.”

TVShowsonDVD.com has a look at the cover art for both titles.

Update: 2.09.2010:

– DVDTalk has a review of Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic, a direct-to-DVD release based on the upcoming video game of the same title. It features the voices of Mark Hamill, Kevin Michael Richardson, Victoria Tennant, Vanessa Branch, Graham McTavish and Grey DeLisle. Here’s an excerpt:

Though there’s some impressively stylish animation on display here, it never seems like the story gets to a place that lives up to the art. Then again, everything about this movie looks better in the game it’s based on, leaving anyone who knows anything about the game likely disappointed, as it’s lighter on both action and imagination. The DVD itself looks and sounds fine, but is light on extras, so you’ll want to give it a rental before diving in.

Update: 2.05.2010:

– TheDigitalBits reports that Astro Boy will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on March 16th: “Extras will include a pair of all-new animated sequences, deleted scenes, featurettes, a photo gallery and more.”

The Blu-ray version will add 4 more (including Maurice and Spike, Max and Spike, The Records Family and Carter Burwell), along with the HBO First Look special and the all-new Higgelty Piggelty Pop! short featuring the voices of Meryl Streep and Forest Whitaker.”

– UltimateDisney.com has a rundown of when fans might expect to see some of Disney’s animated classics to be released from the vault:

Thanks to a tip from someone aware of Disney’s retail schedules, we’ve gotten word of the studio’s plans for its tentpole titles. This year’s anticipated Diamond Editions are still on track to make it to stores in 2010. Beauty and the Beast is slated to make its Blu-ray debut in October, with Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 following in December. Meanwhile, already heavily-marketed Dumbo, which isn’t part of the Diamond line but was clearly intended for re-release this week, won’t arrive until February 2011 (rendering its proposed 70th Anniversary Edition moniker more accurate). Beyond that, a big October 2011 splash is expected for one of Disney’s biggest all-time titles; The Lion King is set to bow on Blu-ray then. As always, all of these plans are subject to change until they’re formally announced (and sometimes even after that).

– UltimateDisney.com also reports that the live-action movie Old Dogs, which is of note here in that it co-stars Robin Williams and Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken) will release on March 9th:

…in a single-disc DVD ($29.99 SRP), a single-disc Blu-ray ($39.99 SRP), and in a three-disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack ($44.99 SRP). The DVD will include only bloopers and deleted scenes, while the standalone Blu-ray adds Travolta and daughter Ella Bleu’s “Every Little Step” music video. Besides the digital copy, the Combo will also contain two additional exclusives in Bryan Adams’ “You’ve Been a Friend to Me” music video and the featurette “Young Dogs Learn Old Tricks.”

– Also from UltimateDisney.com:

Originally scheduled for March, 1986’s The Great Mouse Detective will get a slipcovered Mystery in the Mist Edition DVD on April 13. Besides boasting an all-new digital restoration, this moderately-priced disc ($19.99 SRP) will include all-new bonus “So You Think You Can Sleuth?”, an animated look at the history of detective work through the ages with crime-solving challenge. Carried over from the movie’s initial 2002 DVD are a making-of featurette from the 1980s and a sing-along of villain Ratigan’s “The World’s Greatest Criminal Mind.”

– And again from UltimateDisney.com:

Disney has announced a 2-disc Special Un-Anniversary Edition DVD of their original 1951 animated Alice in Wonderland for release on March 30, 2010 while Tim Burton’s new take on the story plays in theaters. New bonus features include the deleted scene “Pig and Pepper.”

– toonzone.net has a press release for Oscar-nominee Fantastic Mr. Fox which releases March 23rd on DVD and Blu-Ray. Bonus content includes “8 featurettes (The Look of Fantastic Mr. Fox, From Script to Screen, The Puppet Makers, Still Life, The Cast, Bill and His Badger, A Beginner’s Guide to Whack-Bat and Fantastic Mr. Fox: The World of Roald Dahl.”

– DVDTown.com has a review of The Simpsons Complete 20th Season, which lists some of the celebrity guest voices and notes that this season features a few firsts for the series: first season released on Blu-Ray, first with episodes produced in HD and widescreen and the first season for which voice cast member Dan Castellaneta is credited as a “consulting producer.”

What the review doesn’t mention, however, is the repeated complaint from fans and DVD collectors over the obvious lack of bonus features and commentaries fans have come to expect from the FOX releases.

TheDigitalBits.com calls this release “sub-par” and “a disappointment,” and adds, “Even the menus look ugly and tossed off.” But it’s particularly lacking in bonus content:

This is not one of those wonderful, extras-packed sets that we’re used to. The only bonus feature on here, if you can even call it that, is a three-and-a-half minute promo piece for Morgan Spurlock’s 20th Anniversary Special. That’s right. You get an extended commercial for a special that aired two days BEFORE this was even released.

– Planet Hulk released on DVD Feb. 2nd (click here for the voice cast).

Toonzone’s review says the release includes “a sizeable list of extras which fall a bit short, unfortunately.” Among them, two production featurettes and commentaries.

411Mania.com’s review says of the ‘A World of Hurt’ feature that it’s “your basic DVD making of/production featurette and runs about 22 minutes. This goes a lot into the animation production and interviews with the production crew. I would’ve liked to have seen some more interview footage with the voice actors, but this was still good.”

Update: 1.31.2010:

– JustPressPlay.net has a review of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown: Remastered Deluxe Edition which released on Jan. 26th. A retrospective on the production of this 1985 animated TV musical is included as a bonus feature.

The voice cast includes:

– Brad Kesten as Charlie Brown
– Kevin Brando Charlie Brown (singing voice)
– Michael Dockery as Marcie
– Jeremy Scott Reinbolt as Schroeder
– Tiffany Reinbolt as Sally
– Jessie Lee Smith as Lucy van Pelt
– Bill Melendez as Snoopy, Woodstock
– Robert Towers as Snoopy (singing voice)
– David Wagner as Linus van Pelt

The 6-disc set will include all 21 episodes, including what I’m told is an appearance by cartoon voice acting legend Frank Welker who guest-starred in the S4 episode “Almost Completely Out of Circulation” in 1984 as a “Dubbing Actor.”

I’ve been trying to catch this episode in reruns for years, so I’m very pleased to see this released on DVD.

Update: 1.29.2010, 1:45AM (EST) — Doreen Mulman, webmaster of the official Frank Welker Homepage, confirms that Frank does appear on-camera in this episode, “albeit briefly.”

– The-Trades.com has a review of Super Friends! Season One, Volume One which released on Jan. 5th. Although skimpy on content (only 8 episodes and one “trivial” bonus feature), this early 70s series is still a nostalgic favorite for many DC Comics fans. The show features the voices of:

– Sherry Alberoni as Wendy
– Frank Welker as Marvin
– Danny Dark as Superman
– Shannon Farnon as Wonder Woman
– Norman Alden as Aquaman
– Olan Soule as Batman
– Casey Kasem as Robin
– Ted Knight as Narrator

– The toonzone has a review of Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side which released in Dec. 2009. Seth MacFarlane and other of the show’s principal cast are included in what toonzone reviewer Chad Bonin calls a “surprising number of extras”:

“Family Guy Fact-Ups” are Pop-Up Video/A.D.Vidnotes notes that come up throughout the episode explaining some references or pointing out how many voices Seth MacFarlane does in the special (25, to be exact), and would be a welcome addition to the DVD releases of the main series. A crew commentary is nice as usual, and gives you another reason to watch the special all the way through. There are two table reads from a pretty poor angle for the most part, one covering two acts of the special found on this disc, and one a preview of the next parody, “We Have a Bad Feeling About This”. The final two features are some animatics with commentary alongside the finished footage, and a featurette about the art behind the poster design.

– TVShowsOnDVD.com reports that Warner Home Video will release The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: The Complete 5th Season on May 4th.
