Unreleased & Cancelled DVDs 

those shorts that were remastered for Golden Collection Volume 2 apparently got dumped onto iTunes either last year or this year. The whole story behind Volume 2's cancellation is due to the omission of two shorts-Casanova Cat and Mouse Cleaning, both have extended blackface gags that would be difficult to remove (according to rumors there was one person in WB's legal department who vowed those two cartoons would never be released as long as they worked there)and once the list of included shorts came out and fans saw those two were missing(after both had been painstakingly restored too) they review-bombed the Amazon page with angry one-star reviews(Jerry Beck even expressed surprise at this as he'd written liner notes for both shorts)and the backlash was so bad WB indefinitely post-poned the DVD release.

I’m really sad about the last 2 seasons of The Muppet Show. Now we’re stuck with the awful Disney+ versions.

The Beavis and Butthead dvd that was originally slated to release this year was a missed opportunity

In 2010, Warner Bros was originally going to release an adult collector’s DVD of the Looney Tunes cartoons from the unofficial group, The Censored Eleven. These eleven cartoons were made between 1931-1944 and they were all banned from television since 1968 because of black stereotypes being the main plot of those cartoons. The DVD was cancelled because of changing cultural sensitivities and the declining sales of DVDs. They were instead shown at the TCM Film Festival as a special event in the same year.

The Adventures of Pete and Pete...the third and final season. I remember it being available for pre-order, I remember seeing the cover art, and then...it just vanished, never to be released. I wish Shout! Factory could license it to release, like they have for some other series releases abandoned by their primary distributors.

I had the Muppet Show dvds as a kid and watched them religiously but I was always sad that I never got to watch the last two seasons. Until they came to Disney+ and I finally got to binge the whole show

One that's annoying for me is the DVD sets of the Viewtiful Joe anime. Only three volumes of the censored English dub made it to market before the distributor went bankrupt, and nobody's bothered to pick up the license since then for either DVD or streaming, leaving no legal way to watch this show in its entirety, and even if you want to sail the seven seas for a fansub of the uncut version, seemingly nobody has bothered to fansub either season outside of a very poor machine translation full of broken english.

I've noticed one DVD that never got released was Volume 7 of Looney Tunes Golden Collection since the 6th volume states it to be the last volume of the Golden Collection series, but despite this... Warner Home Entertainment later continued releasing DVDs that includes classic Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons with Platinum Collection and the recent Collector's Choice series being the most example.

Another cancelled Disney DTV sequel is Dumbo 2, that one actually got announced on some Disney home video releases and it got a decent way into production but Eisner's resignation pretty much sealed it's fate as Iger cancelled most Disney sequels in production except for ones that were pretty far along like Bambi 2 and Ariel's Beginning.

there was actually a cancelled TV movie called Dreams in the Attic starring Haylie Duff that was finished and was supposed to air on Disney Channel but Disney rejected it and it never found a distributor and remains unreleased to this day.

About the Godzilla cartoon by Hanna-Barbera.... the three DVDs that got released cover HALF the series. It's 26 episodes but only 13 are on DVD (and as you said, Volume 3 is really hard to find). What I've heard is basically Toho somehow owns the rights to that cartoon and they basically don't like releasing it because its not *their* Godzilla, which I think is kind of lame. Honestly with some of the stuff like Tom and Jerry, I would think it has less to do with controversial subject matter and more to do with just that they put all those on streaming services and probably don't see a DVD set as a sound investment.

Best Buy isn't actually ending DVD and Blu-Ray sales just reducing the size of the aisle for them.

2:10 Disney were known for cancelling DVD sets if they did not sell well at that time, none of the Disney Afternoon shows were finished due to this reason

The drew carey show needs a full dvd release

True Lies was supposed to get a widescreen special edition in 2001 but it got cancelled cause of 9/11 as everyone thought it would be inappropriate to do a directors commentary on how fun it was to make a movie about terrorism.

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide season 3 was supposed to be released around 2012. Never happened and now seasons 1 and 2 are out of print last I checked. Happy Days seasons 7 through 11 haven't been released due to poor sales from the previous seasons. And there are numerous episodes of Scooby-Doo from the 70s and 80s that have only been released on streaming platforms. Very sad. It sucks even more when the episodes of a show get edited for the DVD.

I think DVDs should stick around because that's another way for the companies to make money because there are only so many people in this world to subscribe to a streaming service but physical media you can rerelease them anytime there is better viewing quality

Another release that got cancelled was “Werewolf” (which was actually one of the very first FOX shows), which was supposed to be released by Shout! Factory, but ended up getting cancelled because of music rights most likely.

There were also some sets that did get released but recalled very quickly due to certain issues-like the original Sleepaway Camp box set got quickly discontinued due to legal issues involving it's use of the Red Cross symbol, so they had re-do the set without the offending symbol. The original Puppet Master box set in the 2000s also got quickly cancelled once it was found out the company releasing it had no legal right to do so, but the order came so late that a few copies did find their way out into the wild. I was most annoyed by the cancelled release of the Ultimate Uncut DBZ Volume The Saiyan Prince(which apparently did come out in Latin American territories albeit only in Spanish dub form) and Volume 8 of Knights of the Zodiac-Brink of the Abyss.

Great video, man! Love your Dvd videos

Other DVDs that I wish would finish.... Conan the Adventuer: 3 volumes and just needed one more for the whole thing. Ducktales: Old show had 3 volumes and just needed one more, The new show got it worse though The Adventures of the Gummi Bears: released half, never did the rest Men in Black the series: Season one came out, no more after, have a feeling it is the same fokes as The Mask. Jackie Chan Adventures: They put out a DVD set from the middle of the show, nothing before, nothing after. That is what I can think of off the top of my head.

That Beavis and Butt-Head one is devestating I couldn't agree more. Nice vid man!

I wish nothing but good luck for your channel and have a good Christmas :)

Another is Disney's adventures of the gummi bears, volume 2, in the USA. Volume 1 released in 2008, and volume 2 set for 09 release, still never got a proper DVD release.

Loved this! hope to see more of these lists...

8:23 I don't understand why they didn't just put up a disclaimer like they always do.

Randomly stumbled upon your channel and I love your content bro! Huge TV on dvd collector, and I agree that it’s a huge shame we never got seasons 4 and 5 of The Muppet Show on physical media. And to this day, especially as a huge fan of the show, I’m still disappointed that the last two seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic never got a release either.

In the early days of DVD, there were no "complete series" (unless the show only lasted a season). Following the trend that began on VHS, cartoons were usually packaged in short incomplete collections of just a few episodes, incentivizing parents to shell out money for multiple discs. If they didn't sell that well (Police Academy, The Mask, King Kong, and countless others), then you're S.O.L. Beetlejuice came much later and was OBSCENELY expensive when it was first released. As for The Mandalorian, it was one of the few shows on Disney+ that was actually successful, and since they've been hemorrhaging money lately, I guess they figured it was something they could make a profit on. God knows, they're not making money from people watching anything on Disney+.

I was keeping an eye out for the new Beavis and Butthead DVD/ Blu ray release and was devastated when it didn't come out.

Star Wars: Resistance only ever got a S1 DVD release, and the show lasted for 2 seasons, and to this day S2 still hasn’t been released. Also, they didn’t release the show on blu-ray compared to other Star Wars shows.

Aside from the 3 Spotlight Tom & Jerry Collections I have the 2-disc Chuck Jones set and downloaded the missing ones and Gene Deitch ones made in Prague for TV. I have DVDr discs full of unreleased animation by Warners, MGM, Disney, Fleischer, Lantz, Columbia, Terrytoons, UPA, etc.

I need a list like this, about canceled vhs releases.

Wait. Best Buy is discontinuing physical media? I bought the fnaf movie on Blu-Ray on the 14th.

So... that's it? No disc for "Do the Universe?" Fucking bastardice! One cancellation that still haunts me to this day is the Scream Factory attempt to release "Tattoo." And if you poke around AllMovie enough, you'll find bogus release listings for the likes of "A Love Song," "Bottoms," "True Identity," "Passed Away," "Tiger Town," and so on. And just yesterday, Kino Lorber Studio Classics ditched UHDs of "Duck, You Sucker" and "Charley Varrick." And I could go on...

Nice video, love the Santa hat

I'd like The Muppets. TV show on DVD. I'd pick it up. Of course, I'd also like a full show DVD set in some slim cases for the Muppets Show too. It feels like its been a while since the first three sets came out and I never could pick them up. Those are holes in my Muppets DVDs. IF Fraggle Rock can be completely in a box set, then surely Muppets. & Muppet Show & Dog City can be too!

Beautiful sweater my dude.

Merry belated Christmas! 🎄

I'm still hoping for the final four seasons of "The Beverly Hillbillies" on DVD.

The ones that really get to me are The Drew Carey Show (only season 1 got a release). And Quickdraw McGraw. Only a handful of episodes are ever released in compilation DVDs. They say Drew Carey is due to the music, and they're afraid the Quickdraw film is too grainy and brittle to transfer. At least that's what I was told.

Nice video! It’s sad these movies got cancelled tho

oooh can you cover the cancelled Uncut Yugioh DVDs and cancelled Dragon Ball Z Level Set Blu rays?

The Hilarious House Of Frightenstien had 2 cancelled DVD sets. The Igor one was released then a Vol. 1 (which was the Canadian cut of the show with 12 44 minute episodes on 3 discs) the states had a weird one with a laugh track added which maybe is what they did to the Igor dvd and maybe word spread who knows

Merry Christmas!

Another release that got canceled was Wonder Showzen: The Complete Series Box Set it was scheduled for release on December 12, 2006, but it was cancelled. But a similar set eventually released on March 16, 2021.

My guess as to why the last two seasons of the Muppet Show were never released: the music. A bunch of copyrighted songs that spanned from many decades of music. The fact that the show was put onto Disney Plus means they’re never coming out on DVD. The ones on Disney Plus are remastered but are missing several musical numbers. I have bootleg copies of the last two seasons. So I’m good.

Im bummed out about The Muppet Show not being finished, i just got the first 3 recently

I would like the Quick Draw McGraw Show (1959- 1962) released on DVD and Blu Ray!

I'm still waiting on the Blu-ray release of I Love Lucy Season 3 lol.

The Green Hornet tv series still needs a DVD release

Such a random recommended video but I’ll watch it

So this is why I can't find the new Beavis and Butthead movie and the complete season. Yes I totally agree with you it sucks because I really like Beavis and Butthead. I also hate when a first season of a show is released on dvd and then you can't find the rest of the series on DVD. Examples of this are Small wonder Seasons Three and Four, Unsolved Mysteries complete series, Life goes on Seasons 2-4 Rescue 911 with William shatner, Muppet Babies original 80s cartoon, Smurfs original 80s cartoon and E! True Hollywood Story these are just some and im sure that there are others

Also, this video gave me a mandela effect. See, I recall actually seeing Mask: the Complete Animated Series (and I mean the green face guy, not the team with the vehicles). I even read it coming with the Ace Ventura episode that featured the Mask. I had looked at its Amazon store page several times and considered buying it... but now I see this video and suddenly, that release no longer exists and its just season one. Weird.

interesting fact about those Disney+ shows on blu ray and 4k, they were originally just going to be the cases. no discs. basically just something to sit on your shelf. people got rightfully mad and Disney eventually relented and put the discs in

I am not sure if this is cancelled or not but one DVD that I wished would exist is Season 2 of Dexter's Laboratory. I got Season 1 on DVD and that is the only season that got an official release on DVD. Season 2 nor any of the other seasons have DVD releases. I don't know why that is though.

Like the Tom & Jerry Golden Collection sets, in 2011 FUNimation had started releasing Dragon Ball Z on Blu-Ray for the first time under the "Level Sets" where it the best transfer picture quality theres ever been but after releasing only 2 set they more on the way including cover arts for them they just canceled this line in favor of the widescreen orange brick version for Blu-Ray plus way in 2005-06 they had released the "Ultimate Uncut Edition" which they released a hand full only to cancel them for the Orange Brick sets in 2007.

Disney doesn't actually fully own Roger Rabbit, it's partially owned by Spielberg/Amblin, hence the lesser presence in crossovers.

One that hurts me is the second season of Code Monkey's. I saw the mock up of what it'd look like, but we never got it, meaning I can never officially finish that series. Now if we want to just talk about shows that never got any sort of DVD release period, I could give you a whole list of shows...

Don't Forget Dan Vs. because it got released as Season 1 DVD and it got cancelled for the Rest of the DVD Seasons, and so was the later DVD Seasons of The Simpsons. Wasn't sure if Family Guy DVDs sales got cancelled?

We'll have to end up getting bootlegs of the new Beavis and Butthead

Drink every time he says like or whatever.....if you wanna get your stomach pumped

Have the feeling that it comes to mone when we talk about the muppet show. Money, disney is not willing to dish out for some reaons of course. I mean there are various episodes even issing from streaming plattforms. Mostly from the later seasons. So maybe it is the star that has a problem with not getting any money when it woul dbe printed on a disc or streamed or the relatives if the star for the case said star is dead. Things do look different when it would be broadcast on tv, a reason you not see the show aired that often or mostly not after a spific season.

LOONEY TUNES DID THOSE BLACK FACE SOMETIMES AS WELL AND THEY GOT ALL 6 OF THERE VOLUMES OUT FUNNY I HAVE A VOL 2 OF TOM AND JERRY FROM OVERSEAS

Still waiting for Warner Brothers to release the 1950s Popeye sets.

I think this would work without the looping BG music track, great video though

Another is Looney tunes platinum collection volume 4, when 3 didn't sell (was hard to find when it released originally) it got pulled.

You can find the History of Beavis and Butt-Head online, if you look hard enough.

Blame it all on Digital Streaming services for killing Physical media!

interesting video been collecting physical media since 95/96 (Everytime a new Home video format it seems like this creates a lot of talk about Physical media dying (The only real negative of Physical media is the tech itself and over saturation of various formats (Even though dvd’s were a massive mainstream thing it was just the Laserdisc format that mimic CD’s) Then when people got used to buying physical media at a fraction of the price of VHS/Laserdisc they created a HD format with Blu-Ray (Which seem to have confused the general population) It sucks when various studios don’t complete a tv series (Benson and Silver Spoons only had two seasons on dvd) my biggest gripe with any tv being put on dvd is when did it air if it was shoot in HD (Selling dvd’s to a show that shoot in HD+ is very silly (Like Chicago PD is shoot in HD the dvd’s look just plain bad if you compare it to the PQ to the original broadcast (Old stuff is different but, anything over the last 18-20yrs should be released only on blu-ray (up converting dvd’s can go so far you may get 720p but, it’s still off) 👍👍👍

This video is more painful to watch than I imagined going in. 😅

Nick Picks volume 6 should've been here

Warner brothers archive released the complete the mask animated series on there on demand service

great video

Big day for bootleggers

on 2020 and 2021 DVD is no longer available by COVID-19.

It's always the same culprit. Music rights. 🎶 It's sidelined soo many releases.

You forgot about pete and pete season 3 dvd

📀

I still think Warner could've done Tom & Jerry Volume 2, with the same disclaimer they put on the first set. That disclaimer was correct when it said that to not present those cartoons as they were originally made, would be to whitewash the past and pretend those racist attitudes never existed. And ironically, by canceling Volume 2 of the Golden Collection, that's exactly what they opted to do.

There’s always bootleg versions

Regular Show ☹️

The only Monsters Inc. 2 we need is the Monsters at Work TV series. Enough said, we don't need a Monster's Inc. 2 period!

No offense, but you kinda just show the dvds and then have no real other info to give about. Do some more research instead of just saying you don't know why it got cancelled etc.

Youtune is so werid lol i watch one video on dvds and my entire recommendations are dvd stuff lol
