Fraggle Rock DVD - Dance Your Cares Away

[GelflingWaldo]

I talked with some people from HIT! Entertainment today, and they said the second Fraggle Rock DVD, called "Fraggle Rock - Dance your Cares Away", will be in stores on January 4, 2005. You may have seen the promo for this on the "Where it all began -Special Editon DVD", and it said Spring 2005 but HIT! says they are planning a January release (not quite spring, but I'm not complaining).

A small copy of the cover art can be found here: http://videoeta.com/images/movies/medium/LYO_D25802D.jpg, and many online retailers already have it up for pre-order.

Here are some places you can order it from allready:

"Fraggle Rock - Dance your Cares Away" will be avalible on region 1 DVD and also on VHS. "Fraggle Rock - Dance your Cares Away" will follow the same basic form of the first DVD, "Fraggle Rock - Where it all began", the DVD will feature 3 great episodes from the show.

There is no word on if there will be any special features on the DVD (like the special edition of "Where it all Began" had an animated Fraggle episode and a Fraggle song feature), but there is enough material for HIT! to pull from so it is easily possible. HIT! says that a finial list of which 3-episodes (and any special features), will be released by the end of the year.

This one disk DVD release will retail for about $15.99 (or less), and will be avalible in most major DVD retailers in the USA/Canada.

As many of you know, HIT! is working on a Season 1 DVD box-set planned for the fall of 2005, and also plans many more 3-episode single-disk releases in the very near future aswell.

HIT! has expanded their online store to have a new Fraggle Rock section (currently it only has the Where it all Began DVDs/VHS) but they plan to expand it have all sorts of Fraggle stuff (encluding this upcomming DVD) in the future! So check that out: http://www.hitstoreusa.com/

This is awesome news, now I know one thing I will get with my Christmas exchanges/gift-money this year.

I E-mailed HIT! Entertainment asking which episodes will be on this DVD. They got back to me with this information. (They are so quick to respond and so open). Well, here you go. Enjoy!


...Look for "Fraggle Rock: Dance Your Cares Away" on DVD & VHS starting January 4, 2005. This release will feature the 3 episodes: Boober Gorg; Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe; and Inspector Red. There are no announced bonus features at this time (but this is subject to change). Also, our Bramd Team is currently working on releasing season sets planned for this fall...

For thoses who don't know here is a basic summary of the episodes that will be on this release:

Boober Gorg (Season 4)
After being hit on the head by an exploding radish, Boober gets amnesia and thinks he's a Gorg. When he tells Ma and Pa Gorg, they believe him, because they think a sorceror has changed Junior, who is missing, into a Fraggle.

Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe (Season 3)
Mokey's made too many promises, and forgotten most of them; the most serious of which was to knit a new tarpaulin for the Trash Heap before the first big snow.

Inspector Red (Season 5)
The Fraggle Horn is missing, and Red tries to find it, accusing many along the way.


This is awesome news!

Sounds terrific! I wonder if they'll let us know about the next DVD with three eps?

I wonder if they'll let us know about the next DVD with three eps?

I asked them when to expect the next single-disk Fraggle DVD. They said they are still working on the plans for them, they don't know exactly when or what we can expect. The may have some information around the time of the release of "Dance your Cares Away" (like as paper ad insert in the case). But as of now no one knows for sure (not even HIT!)

 

[King Prawn]

Those are amazing extras and this one isn't even the one aimed at us collectors (like the Seaon One Box Set) I like the direction hit is going.

 

[McFraggle]

At least they are giving us good bonus features. I guess they are jumping to later seasons because the Season 1 set will be out later next year.

I LOVE HIT!
