I can't decide if those Princess DVDs are a good sign for us or not. I mean, they obviously think at least certain episodes of the series will sell, but it might also be used as an excuse not to release the whole series, not to mention that if those DVDs don't sell someone might point to that as proof that the whole series wouldn't sell. I wonder if politics doesn't have something to do with it as well. Sad

The other reason I'm not sure about the future of a series set is the fact that they don't seem to be consistent in how they handle other animated series..."Volume 1" of Rescue Rangers and Duck Tales were box sets with 3 DVDs and something like 27 episodes each...Volume 1 of Goof Troop and Quack Pack were single DVDs, 3 episodes each. I hear they have a box set planned for Darkwing Duck and TaleSpin, but I forget how many discs/episodes are planned for those...UltimateDisney would say so somewhere. Smile

And I don't know what the plan is for the REST of DuckTales and Rescue Rangers...I heard something about 2nd sets, but I don't remember if either was confirmed or if it's still in the 'rumor' stage.

As for the Princess DVDs...can't say I haven't been tempted to buy them for the Aladdin and Mermaid eps...but...$15 each, and I hear the other stuff on those things is pink sugar-coated garbage...if I knew for sure whether my purchase would help or hinder the cause of full seriese releases, I'd act...heck, if it'd help, I'd buy them for myself and my 3 year old cousin!

3 episodes per DVD for Goof Troop and Quack Pack? Dude, at that rate they're gonna finish the series 50 years from now Laughing

I think with those it's more the fact that they're not sure if they will sell or not, so they put out one or two DVDs and see how they do before they'll spend the money to do the whole series.

Well, there's an email address on the post so you could try that, but he hasn't responded for a few months. Laughing
