The Delbert Cartoon Report

Whether you like it or not, Teen Titans Go is back on Boomerang.  Actually, it's been back on since October 26.  This is the most recent series for Teen Titans and despite fan complaints about the show, it is a major hit for kids airing MULTIPLE TIMES a day on Cartoon Network.  The show previously aired earlier when Boomerang rebranded, but was axed in the beginning of October due to the coming of Wabbit and other Boomerang acquisitions.  As far as we know, no other shows have been taken off as a result of this change.  If you know otherwise, please comment below. Teen Titans Go airs weeknights at 9pm on Boomerang.

At least two Shaun the Sheep DVD releases came out today.  First up is Shaun the Sheep Movie.  Lionsgate today released this film on Blu-ray and DVD as well as digital download on itunes and Amazon.  Although this film bombed in the US box office, critics have written rave reviews about this film and is among the must see films of the year. Lionsgate also re-released Shaun the Sheep season 1 on DVD.  This set includes all 40 episodes of the season.  It was previously released in 2010 by Hit Entertainment, but the show has since changed hands apparently (not an expert on Shaun the Sheep here). Shaun the Sheep made his debut on Boomerang last month.  From Aardman Animations and originally released in the UK, Shaun the Sheep is one of Aardman's most popular cartoon series airing on many stations all over the world including Cartoon Network and Disney Chanel.  Other works include Chicken Run and their most famous work, The Wallace and Gromit series...

Who says DVD sales are dead?  Well sadly, it's still the truth, BUT there are some releases that are of interest of this page as these shows and characters have aired or is currently airing on Boomerang First up from VIZ Media and The Pokemon Company is Pokemon the Johto Journeys the Complete Collection.  This combines all the episodes of the Johto Journeys part of Pokemon the anime.  These have been released in the past but as seperate collections.  Consider this a re-release with not much difference in picture quality, but if you missed out on this collection the first time, you now have an oppurtunity to watch again, Pokemon is currently airing at 6pm ET on Boomerang Warner Archive has released The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest the Complete Second Season.  This comeback series brings Johnny Quest back in new adventures, but in a more graphic way compared to the original 1960's series.  The first season was released previously into two halves...

George Barris, who was a custom car designer for many TV shows and movies has died at the age of 89.  He was best known for his work creating the Batmobile that aired on The Batman TV show in the 1960's  He also designed the many vehicles used in The Banana Splits Adventure Hour including the Dune Buggies.   Perhaps Hanna-Barbera's best known live action series, The Banana Splits were a part of Boomerang during the classic days.  It continued to air until the last winks of the old Boomerang.  It originally aired on Saturday Mornings in the late 1960's

Warner Archive today has released Secret Squirrel the Complete Series on DVD.  The collection includes all the episodes along with its supporting segments, Squiddly Diddly and Winsome Witch. Warner Archive is a special division of Warner Bros. that releases titles that technically would not sell well at stores, so you can order these made to order discs either on their website or by simply going to Amazon.com.  Warner Archive has also been promoting this by posting the original bumper intros to the cartoons which are supposed to be on this collection as well.  This is not to be confused with Super Secret Secret Squirrel which was part of 2 Stupid Dogs.  These are all the original ones only. Last month, Warner Archive released The Atom Ant Show with much promotion.  These two shows aired on Saturday Morning as part of a whole hour, but best remembered and aired as two different shows.  Warner Archive also has plans to release more cartoons this month...
