[Jon Cooke]

Sony will be releasing Roger Ramjet: Hero Of Our Nation (Deluxe Edition), a 3 DVD set, on February 8, 2005. Details are unavailable at this time, but it is rumored the set will include the entire series. This is the same day they are releasing The Complete Mr. Magoo Show. The retail price of both sets is $39.95 each. You can pre-order them both from Amazon.com through the links below:

What I would like to know, is which Mr.Magoo series are they releasing in Feb 2005?The 1960s verison or the god awful 1970s series from DePatie Freleng?

Hopefully the 1950s theatricals, which were much better than the 1960s TV cartoons, which most people are familiar with. Columbia still owns the Magoo theatricals, and has released them on VHS in the past, so maybe we might "see" them on DVD soon.:magoo:

I agree Ray, but suspect it'll be the 1960's series. Funny thing is there is a wonderful series featuring the theatrical Magoo films and earlier Columbia color titles ready for release on DVD. Wonder if Sony can ever see there way to release it? Know we've talked about "Totally Tooned In" here before, but here's a link to Cartoon Research for those who've not heard about it.
