Watch Out For That Tree!

I was reluctant to post this over the weekend for fear of being played for an April Fool. But that has come and gone and the information seems to be solid.

I got some news you might want to post on your blog. I e-mailed Classic Media, the owner of the video rights to Jay Ward’s great cartoons, and I got an answer that I swear totally stunned me…and I am willing to send you a copy of the e-mail. George of the Jungle will be on DVD by the end of this year.
Well, Ed did send me a copy of the e-mail and it comes from Robert Mayo of Classic Media. He says there are further volumes of Rocky and Bullwinkle under consideration, but that George of the Jungle will be out before the end of 2007.
No word on whether these will be complete shows including Super Chicken and Tom Slick, but it’s still good news, right, Fella?
Incidentally, the drawing above was done by Gerard Baldwin, one of the show’s directors.
