New Fraggle and Mother Goose DVDs!!
Not sure if this has been posted before but found this info on TVShowsonDVD.com:
Fraggle Rock info:
A short time ago this morning, we posted news from reader Glen Larson, who has been in contact with HIT! Entertainment and provided excellent details of some upcoming Jim Henson Presents Mother Goose Stories DVDs. Glen also had some wonderful new details for us about another upcoming DVD from HIT!, this time about the Fraggles!
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, January 4th will see the release of Fraggle Rock - Vol. 2: Dance Your Cares Away. Since that time, this item has become available to pre-order at Amazon.com, where it shows a list price of $16.99, but will let you advance purchase the disc now for just $11.89! It will also be available in most major DVD retailers in the USA and Canada, we're told.
Glen also tells us about the 3 episodes that are the main feature, plus bonus items including a 4th episode (unlocked by winning a trivia game), and another episode from the 1987 cartoon version of Fraggle Rock. Here is Greg's rundown:
"Boober Gorg" (from 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 sorcerer has changed Junior, who is missing, into a Fraggle.
"Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe" (from 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" (from Season 5) - The Fraggle Horn is missing, and Red tries to find it, accusing many along the way.
Bonus features for "Fraggle Rock - Dance Your Cares Away" DVD are:
Fraggle Rock Animated Episode: "No Fraggle Is An Island"
A Fraggle Rock trivia game that unlocks a bonus episode
Behind the Scenes of Doc & Sprocket
Fraggle Karaoke
Bonus Pingu episode
Mother Goose info: Several readers have let us know that Jim Henson Presents Mother Goose Stories is coming to DVD from HIT! Entertainment, the same folks who are releasing Fraggle Rock DVDs. No reader has been more thorough with his report, though, than Greg Larson, and we appreciate it. The following information is mostly provided by him, sprinkled with a nugget or two of our own here and there:
Jim Henson Presents Mother Goose Stories - Vol. 1: Humpty Dumpty will have 8 stories on DVD: Humpty Dumpty/Mother Hubbard/Little Boy Blue/It's Raining, It's Pouring/Dicky Bird/Little Girl with a Curl/Duke of York/Tommy Tucker. Pre-order now at Amazon.com for $9.99, or you can wait and get it in stores. Street date is January 25th.
Jim Henson Presents Mother Goose Stories - Vol. 2: Jack & Jill also has 8 stories on DVD: Jack & Jill/Pat-A-Cake/Old King Cole/***** Cat, ***** Cat/Man in the Moon/Little Miss Muffet/Willie Winkle/A Song of Sixpence. Pre-order now at Amazon.com for $9.99, or you can wait and get it in stores, too. This also streets on January 25th.
Cover art isn't available just yet, but we'll try to find that for you. HIT! tells Greg that they will keep an eye on sales for these two releases, and see if there is a market to release the other 22 stories from the series in the future. We'll be looking out for that, too, and pass on anything more that we find out. Thanks, Greg, for your wonderful report!
