Josie and the Pussycats in the works *FINALLY*

Shawn_C · 04-15-2007, 08:34 PM

Finally a Josie and the Pussycats DVD set is in the works. Its been 3 LONG years since it was mentioned on TVshowsondvd.com and Entertainment Weekly magazine. But according to Earl Kress, plans are underway with a tribute to Dan DeCarlo the creator of the Pussycats. This tribute is expected to be part of the bonus material of the set. See the link below.

I can't wait for this to be released. I really hope they will interview Janet Waldo, Barbara Pariot, Jackie Joseph, Casey Kasem and Cheryl Ladd. And also Danny Janssen of La La Productions.

Other bonus features I would like to see included would be The New Scooby-Doo Movies "The Haunted Showboat" episode which feature Josie and the Gang as well as the Cartoon Network's "Musical Evolution" commercial.

This is good news and I hope it will be released this year.

Me too, and I'd love to see "Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space" as well.

I think there should be a tribute to Patrice Holloway, who voiced 'Valerie' and sang as well on the show. She passed away about a year ago, and had an interesting career (she was also the sister of Motown star Brenda Holloway)- check out the link here:

Patrice Holloway was the singing voice of Valerie. Barbara Pariot was the speaking voice of Valerie. It would be a great idea. I would love to see it.

Thanks for the link.

And of course let's not forget that it was Cheryl Ladd (AKA Cherie Moor /Cheryl Stoppelmoor) who was the singing voice of Melody Valentine.

I wish they would re-release the Rhino Handmade "Josie and the Pussycats" CD along with this. It's long out of print -- I can't find a copy for under $75. It would be a great tie-in promotion.

Same here. "The Haunted Showboat"'s one of my all-time favorite New Scooby-Doo Movies.

Well it is Official. Sept 18th is the release date. I am excited to see this finally released on DVD but I have some major problems with the upcoming release.

1) The artwork SUCKS. Just keep it simple, as like the other Hanna Barbera collection DVDs (Black broader). Why don't they use a picture like this. http://www.wingnuttoons.com/josieband2.gif

2) There needs to be more bonus features. I am glad to see a tribute to Dan DeCarlo but I would like to see an interview with Janet Waldo, Barbara Pariot, Jackie Joseph, Casey Kasem and Danny Janssen of La La Productions. "The Haunted Showboat" episode and the Cartoon Network's "Musical Evolution" commercial should also be included in the set.

3) Also I would love to see what Earl Kress may have. It could be the footage of the real Pussycats playing their instruments or in the recording studio back in 1970's. Whatever it is I know fans would love to see it.

This 2-disc dvd set is not complete. And as a fan I am not 100% satisfied.

They should have included Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space. Its not likely to see a release on its own.

Is there a mailing address or an email address for WB where I can voice my complaints?
