70's 80's marvel cartoons not on dvd

[jds1911a1]

One word...DISNEY. They are still in a court battle with Marvel for any and all of the Cartoons that were released Pre-90's.

and marvel's pockets aren't deep enough to win that battle

like DC can't beat fox for the 66 batman rights

Screw those 70's & 80's toon. I want those deliciously horrible toons from the 60's released on DVD.

I loved the "animation" of the 60's shows a kirby still and caps shield or thor's hammer moved across it. BUT every one of the marvel cartoons from the 60's have great themes just as catchy as the spiderman (loved in the casino scene in the new iron man film when the 60's theme is played in the backround)

Are these non-US region discs? I seem to recall they were.

Yep...that's why you need to get them from me

Mine are region free

So far my favorite is still the original 60's Marvel Cartoons. I also got the Silver Surfer cartoons from the 90's, which was recently released in the UK, and that one is starting to be my second favorite of the Marvel Cartoons. Just think of the Surfer Cartoons as Kirby Meets Mobius. Absolutely beautiful...shame they never finished the 2 parter at the end of the series. Thanos in all his glory

the spiderfriends dvd i have will only play on one of the three dvd players i have.
of the vintage marvel cartoon i think it's the most enjoyable to watch. imo

Quality of the all the British Box sets, which includes the 60's Marvel Cartoons, is great...Have them all. If anyone is interested in sets message me. Only DVD sets that haven't been released yet are SpiderWoman, Fantastic Four 70's series, and Spiderman 81/82 series.

They have released/are releasing some of those series here;

Spiderman and His Amazing Friends - Complete Box Set DVD: Amazon.co.uk: Spiderman and His Amazing Friends: DVD

The Incredible Hulk - Complete Season Marvel Originals Series - 80s DVD 1982: Amazon.co.uk: The Incredible Hulk: DVD

Spider-Woman 1979 Complete Series [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: DVD

[Earth 2 Chris]

I thought many of these were released in Canada, by some other company? I seem to recall it was affiliated with the old VHS video company that put out all of those Marvel VHS tapes in the mid 80s, and that's how they were able to get around Disney via an old legal loophole?

Don't forget about the ruby spears Superman cartoon from the 80's

I remember that Warner's said in one of the Home Theater Chats that was being looked into.

[goldenryan]

it doesn't really matter to me. i already have them on bootleg anyway. the hulk and spiderwoman were really bad so i never got those ones but i'm sure there on youtube. the bootleg of the new fantastic 4 has real poor quilty, so i might buy that when it comes out. still i know i'm not the only one who wants to see them released.

Hmmmm....

Weird thing, most of those were released on VHS during the late 80's/early 90's; and I've seen digitally remastered versions of a few of them on cable. (Like the '78 Fantastic Four.) So I'm betting SOMEBODY is planning a disk release. Some time.
