Season 3 Australian DVD Release - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Mulch · 03-09-2010, 01:53 PM

The fact that it's actually being released somewhere means that there's still a glimmer of hope for a R1 release.

Artwork looks kinda slapped together, but the continuity is nice. Also, Ed is on the spine. (Possibly riding a bike?)

EDIT: Never mind, looks like Madman have been making their own CN releases for years.

At first I thought it was an April Fool's day joke but then I remembered it's not April.

Needless to say, I was all "HUH?". No way, they're selling a season 3 set in Australia first? No offense or anything, but...

Hopefully America will get a release too. I need them episodes so badly...D8

None taken. I'm sure you Americans felt the same way when it was announced that Season 1 of The Powerpuff Girls would be released in Australia first, before America got their hands on it.

I've been downloading Foster's eps on iTunes like crazy lately, so I could wait.

That's really great that someone's getting a Season 3 release. This only makes me want the rest of the series get released in the states more, including Season 3. *grumble*

Madman have been releasing Cartoon Network and [adult swim] DVDs since 2006. They started off with Seasons 1 of PPG and Foster's, Vol 1 of My Gym Partner's a Monkey and Seasons 1 of Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.

Do we know if this is the official cover art that Craig said he worked on a year and a half ago? It just looks awful generic. But none the less, this is very exciting. Hopefully this will mean it'll be released in the States not long after!

I thought we determined this wasn't an official release and that this company makes their own DVDs? Or did I misunderstand?

Lynnie · 03-14-2010, 12:31 PM

Hmm, it looks legit to me. They also have the other two seasons on DVD and they're the same ones we have, and the KND one (which I also have). There's also CN trademarks on the bottom of each page. What throws me off is the release dates compared to the States' release dates. S1 was released only a month after we got S1. S2 was released over a year after we got S2. And now they get S3 before we do? They may have a deal with CN, and CN gave them the green light to sell the DVDs down there, but haven't cleared it for the States yet. And maybe for copyright issues, the cover art wasn't cleared for them so they created a generic one for now.

Mulch · 03-14-2010, 01:49 PM

Sorry, I probably caused all that confusion by being unclear. This is the deal, from what I gather:

They're legit, but Madman apparently have CN's permission to create their own releases for sale exclusively in Australia. For example, they have complete seasons of Dexter's Lab and Courage (and those were released a few years ago, so they're definitely Australia-exclusive).

They also make their own cover art, most evident from this:

(Note Grim's shadow from the first season's cover art looming over stock art of the four main characters, including himself.

)

Well, anyway, congrats to Australian fans, and hopefully a US release will finally happen someday.

Seriously, they had cover art ready, advertised it on another DVD and then just scrapped it entirely?!?
