Madman/Viavision AU DVDs

Cheapest you will find this box set anywhere online. This is where I bought it.

BUY: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Xena-Complete-Series-Ultimate-Collection-DVD-New-Sealed-OFFICIAL-AU-RELEASE/332766132434?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l9372

This is a breakdown of all the special features and additional footage that comes with this box set. There is a lot so I thought I’d make a post about it. The discs come in 9 parts which represent the 9 cases. 2 of the audio/video commentaries from season 2, ‘A Day In The Life’ & ‘Destiny’, are not in my box set. This may be because the audio/video commentaries and cast/crew interviews are taken from the old Anchor Bay releases. However, you might get them because not all the Anchor Bay releases missed them out. Please check with the seller before buying the box set!

I’m done! Well... not quite yet. @markthexenaaddicted asked me to explain what the ratio looks like on the episodes. It’s a concern because the original ratio for the Anchor Bay DVDs is 4:3. In these DVDs, it’s 16:9 widescreen full height anamorphic. I’m assuming to achieve that, they would have had to knock off some of the image. But the episodes look fine. Season 1 & 2 look a bit grainy but that’s expected considering they were broadcast in 1995-1996. 

I’m afraid I can’t do any screenshots because the 16:9 ratio only shows up on my TV and it doesn’t have a screenshotting feature. You’ll just have to trust me.

#Repost @renaissancepictures (@get_repost) ・・・ Hercules & Xena - The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympus was released direct-to-video on January 6, 1998. 20 years ago today. Kevin Sorbo, Lucy Lawless, Michael Hurst, Renee O’Connor, Kevin Smith, and Alexandra Tydings all voiced their primary characters from HTLJ and XWP, while Ted Raimi voiced the titan Crius. Lucy also performed “Xena’s Song” in the movie. Joseph LoDuca composed the music, which was nominated for Outstanding Individual Achievement for Music in an Animated Feature Production. There’s no doubt they would have won if Ted had been allowed to sing “Crius the Mighty”. • • • • • #RenaissancePictures #SamRaimi #RobTapert #Xenaverse #Hercules #HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys #HTLJ #Xena #XenaWarriorPrincess #XWP #HerculesAndXena #XenaAndGabrielle #Iolaus #Gabrielle #Ares #Aphrodite #Crius #CriusTheMighty #Joxer #JoxerTheMighty #KevinSorbo #LucyLawless #MichaelHurst #ReneeOConnor #KevinSmith #AlexandraTydings #TedRaimi #JosephLoDuca
