DVD Release

I would very much like to see a DVD release of this film. Since interest in the show has grown - the new CGI film being released, a documentary on the show for the BBC, and it's ranking in a UK poll on the top 100 animations - I think it's only fitting that this film gets the DVD treatment.

I own the video release, by Channel 5 video, and the quality is dreadful - lines, scratches, blurring etc. A re-mastered DVD would be lovely. What's sad is that the new film will get a big DVD release first - although it was a nice film - it fails to be as witty as the original, and not as dark and as adult as DatBC.

A DVD release would be wonderful. I've worn out my channel 5 tape - and now have another. I'm thinking of converting it to an AVI file just so I don't wear out my 2nd tape. COME ON!!! MAKE THE DVD!!!!! Your audience (and market!) awaits...

It depends on who currently holds the home video rights. The CGI movie has been and gone. As that was the best tie-in opportunity likely to arise, I'd be surprised if 'Blue Cat' now makes it to DVD. Pity, as it's a pretty good movie, as I recall.

I got an email, out of the blue, from Second Sight video this morning. It's been restored from a new transfer, has the original French version with subtitles, and a whole heap of extras!
