  Shout! Factory to Release SHS DVDs

Shout! Factory and Marvel Animation have issued a press release about a new partnership to release DVDs of The Marvel Super Hero Squad Show over the next few years. From the press release:

"We are thrilled with this exciting opportunity to work closely with Marvel Animation, a globally recognized studio for its fantastic productions and pop culture content. This strategic partnership with Marvel continues to build on our continuing success in distributing some of the most premiere brands to the marketplace," stated Shout! Factory founding partners. "The Super Hero Squad Show has become one of the most popular animated series on television. There's a lot of interest from loyal fans, and we plan to do a great job with upcoming releases. We hope that this is just the start of a mutually beneficial relationship."

"We have found a tremendous and passionate partner in Shout! Factory who bring some of the most innovative DVD releases to market, and always with unique bonus features and packaging that deliver the best value to the fans," stated Eric Rollman, President of Marvel Animation. "We have some great ideas for the upcoming Super Hero Squad Show DVDs, and look forward to continuing the Super Hero Squad experience from Cartoon Network to our fans on DVD."

This news excites me to no end as Shout! Factory constantly puts out cartoons in quality DVD packages. Take a look at the current Transformers and G.I. Joe DVD box sets and you'll see what I mean.

I am looking forward to seeing how they will put together a complete season one box set, once the obligatory single disc releases are out, of course.

In other DVD news, check out the cover art for Spectacular Spider-Man, Volume Eight, coming April 27, and Wolverine and the X-Men: Revelation, coming May 4.

  Super Hero Squad Show Ratings

Since its debut, there has been much speculation whether or not Super Hero Squad is a good show. Many Marvel fans have been quite vocal in various online forums about how much they dislike the show. But guess what! Someone out there likes it because the show is doing great! Check out these numbers:

The sneak peek on Monday September 14 saw the show rank as number one for boys two to 17 on all cable and broadcast networks. It also landed as the top rated show of the year for boys two to 11 in its time period.

On the official broadcast premiere on Saturday, September 19 at 8:30 a.m., the show was the top program on CN year-to-date for boys six-to-eight, finding a home in the top five programs on the channel. In addition, it was the top performer in boys six to 11.

Younger viewers also tuned in, bringing The Super Hero Squad Show to number six overall, with the 9 a.m. premiere helping to grow the boys two to five demo by 245% from the prior week's timeslot. Meanwhile, the 8:30 a.m. debut upped the boys two to five, two to 11 and six to 11 demos up 137%, 33% and 16% respectively from the prior week's timeslot.

Love it or hate it, you can't deny these ratings. The show is a hit, and while it may not be your style, keep in mind that it probably isn't being made for you.

Take a look at it from a quality perspective. It has great animation and character designs, the voice acting has been really good, and the plots, while they may seem a bit superficial, are entertaining and funny, plus they aim to teach some good values. All of this adds up to a good show. I have no problem saying that I like this show a lot, and encourage all of you that are on the fence to check it out.

  Marvel Super Hero Squad Show -- UPDATE: Music Video Added!

UPDATE: Marvel has released a music video promoting the Super Hero Squad Show. Watch it and be amazed. This show will be unlike anything we've ever seen before! If I have one complaint, it is that the animation looks a bit simple and limited, but I'll save my actual opinions until I see a full episode.



Marvel's Super Hero Squad Show panel was a huge hit this morning at the San Diego Comic-Con as hundreds got to see the first clips from the show as well as a live reading from some of the show's stars! The scene was a exclusively written for the Con and revolved around Doctor Doom as he scoured the Convention in search of the My Little Pony Comic-Con exclusive figure.

And speaking of voice actors, check out some of the talent that will be providing their voices during the first season of the show:

Charlie Adler (Cow & Chicken, Transformers 1 & 2) as Dr. Doom

Shawn Ashmore (X-Men trilogy) as Iceman

Alimi Ballard (NUMB3RS) as Falcon

LeVar Burton (Star Trek: The Next Generation) as Rhodey

Grey DeLisle (Fairly Oddparents) as Ms. Marvel and the Enchantress

Taye Diggs (Private Practice) as Black Panther

Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) as Dormammu

Greg Grunberg (Heroes) as Ant-Man

Mark Hamill (Star Wars) as the Red Skull

Lena Headey (Sarah Connor Chronicles) as Black Widow

Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) as Sif

Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Ugly Truth) as Stardust

Tom Kenny (Spongebob Squarepants) as Iron Man, Captain America and M.O.D.O.K.

Wayne Knight (Seinfeld) as Egghead

James Marsters (Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayeras Mr. Fantastic

Jennifer Morrison (Star Trek, House) as the Wasp

Adrian Pasdar (Heroes) as Hawkeye

Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) as Ka-Zar

George Takei (Heroes, Star Trek) as Galactus

Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gossip Girl) as the Valkyrie.

Now check out the show's theme song, which looks like it was shot on someone's camera phone. I'm not sure how long it will be on youtube before it gets removed.



The Marvel Super Hero Squad Show debuts September 19, 2009 on Cartoon Network with a four-episode marathon. I know this show won't be for everyone, but I can't wait.
