Well I've been out of various things for a while now so it was a surprise when I found out two things recently.

First, Warner Brothers with no real anything re-released Cats Don't Dance last year on dvd. Unlike the previous release and bundles this one includes 16x9 Widescreen format. From what I know of it there may have been a you tube of the film in wide screen but now its on an official release through the "WB Archive Collection". Its not restored or anything special but for those who have a older copy. Its the best upgrade they are going to offer.

On a related note. Last year the complete series of Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats was released as a $15 boxset. That's all 86 episodes from the 80's. That came out of the blue as the last couple years was the release of the complete first season of 36 ~38 episodes. While it's not as produced as the original Volume 1 by Shout Factory. Its the complete package. Even the episodes that were never aired when DIC had that retro block on THIS network some years ago are on it. I did not marathon the whole thing yet, but I'm guessing everything after episode 36 may be in whatever broadcast state they are currently in. A $15 price tag doesn't pay for a restoration like they keep doing for 80's Transformers the Movie.

On the Anime side of things, Samurai Pizza Cats has been on Blue ray for a while from Disco Tech Media. They still have the Japanese language on Dvd but the full 52 episode English dub from Saban is on Blue ray.

It's a bit different assuming its not a meme or weird induendo. For something a little deep involving cat boys from the 80's with a little symbolism. Night on the Galactic Railroad, once you get past hearing Ash Ketchum's voice its the complete opposite of what the title suggests. Don't forget your floaties, the pool gets deep.

On a side note:

The two Bucky O'Hare figures from Boss Fight Studios have been on pre order since June. They said it would be sometime in the fall so the best guess I can make would be some time In October or November. The figures consists of Captain Bucky and First Mate Jenny for roughly $34~$35 each. Pre orders can be direct from Boss Fight Studios or from places like Big Bad Toy Store. Considering its a small company and Jenny was never produced to complete the original toys. This a good chance to support the series and hopefully if they sell enough well get new figures for the rest of the main cast.
