Having completed its North-American VHS release, it appears that the ‘Redwall‘ television series is now setting its sights on the DVD format. The first ‘Redwall‘ DVD (entitled ‘The Adventure Begins‘, same as the first VHS) is slated to be released on June 24th, 2003 at the price of $14.99.
The DVD boasts the first six episodes of ‘Redwall’:
- Cluny the Scourge – Part I
- Cluny the Scourge – Part II
- Treachery
- Sparra’s Kingdom
- Cluny’s Clowns
- High Standards
No word on whether they’ll release the remaining seven episodes of the first season on one additional disc or two. This move bodes well for those waiting for ‘Mattimeo‘ and ‘Martin the Warrior‘ to be released, though, as the DVD format makes such releases far more economical from a production standpoint.
Additionally, there’s been no word on what kind of extras, if any, there will be on this DVD. Given the amount of importance (or lack thereof) Nelvana accords the series, I’d be skeptical of seeing any extras.
As always, the DVD can be ordered from VideoFlicks. (I assume it will be available via Chapters.indigo.ca as well, but it has not found its way into their catalog as-of-yet).
Stay tuned to the Newsline for more developments.
