06.25.2019 - WALLY GATOR: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION (1962-63) New To DVD


'There's no place like home' is an adage that breezy, affable Wally Gator (voiced by Daws Butler) needs to learn again and again. A true people-person alligator, Wally is driven by his excessive curiosity and bon vivant inclinations to seek out new experiences outside the city zoo where he hangs his pork-pie hat. Donning a variety of hilarious disguises, Wally escapes the confines and care of dedicated zoo-keeper Twiddle (voiced by Don Messick) only to end up crying "Oh, fuddle-dee-doo!" as he lands himself in a series of ever-more ridiculous (and dangerous) jams. Whether it's getting confused for a dragon by a clan of medievalist monster-fighters, almost becoming the final ingredient in a witch's magic potion or becoming a stunt gator in Hollywood action picture, Wally is always relieved when he finally makes his way back to Twiddle and the zoo - only to saunter off the very next day! Contains all 52 animated episodes of this Hanna-Barbera classic.
 

06.25.2019 - POPEYE THE SAILOR: THE 1940s VOLUME 2 (1946-47) New 2019 1080p HD Master from a 4k Scans of the Original Negatives


Back, bold and packing a wallop on Blu-ray, the 90 years young all-American sailor man is back for another round of full color theatrical shorts from the fabulous forties. The second volume sees Popeye and everyone's favorite hirsute frenemy Bluto cashier out of the service and get back into doing what they do best - competing for Olive Oyl's affections across time and space. From the Klondike of the Gold Rush era to the Wild West with stops fighting pirates and aliens on Mars in between, Popeye does what he does best - being what he yam with a spinach can at hand! This is classic animation at its finest - featuring zany cartoon action from the pen of veteran Jim Tyer and powerfully dynamic direction from animation legend Bill Tytla. Packed with a punch, loaded with laughs and heaping with heart, Volume 2 comes to port with plenty of Popeye appeal. Collection includes: House Tricks?; Service with a Guile; Klondike Casanova; Peep in the Deep; Rocket to Mars; Rodeo Romeo; The Fistic Mystic; The Island Fling; Abusement Park; I'll Be Skiing Ya; Popeye and the Pirates; The Royal-Four Flusher; Wotta Knight; Safari So Good; All's Fair at the Fair. Also available on DVD!

Note: Popeye the Sailor: The 1940s Volume 2 is intended for the Adult Collector and May Not Be Suitable for Children.

06.20.2019 - J.J. Abrams and Henry Abrams Make Their Marvel Comics Debut With SPIDER-MAN #1

The filmmaker will be joined by superstar artists Sara Pichelli and Olivier Coipel!

New York, NYJune 20, 2019—The secret is out! This September, legendary filmmaker J.J. Abrams (Star Wars, Star Trek, Super 8) and his son Henry Abrams will co-write SPIDER-MAN, a five-issue limited series years in the making, with art by the incredible Sara Pichelli (Miles Morales, Guardians Of The Galaxy) and cover art by the amazing Olivier Coipel!

Speaking to The New York Times, J.J. teased, “The story shows Peter Parker in a way you haven’t seen him before.”

“Spider-Man is one of those super heroes where the more you read about him, for me at least, the less I understand him,” added Henry. “He’s so anti-everything that you’d expect from a hero. I think Stan Lee said something about putting the human in superhuman. That is what we’re trying to do.”

Together, the father-son duo will introduce fans to a mysterious new villain named Cadaverous – whose identity remains to be seen…but what do they have planned for Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson?!

All will be revealed this fall in SPIDER-MAN #1!

For more information on this exciting new limited series, check out the announcement video on Marvel’s social channels or visit Marvel.com.
