Gargoyles DVD: Amazon Mass Purchase Date

[DTaina]

Yes, you heard it right. The Gargoyles fandom is planning a mass purchase of the Gargoyles DVD to get it on Amazon's best seller list, which should boost sales, increase popularity, and the hopes of getting the series back in some way, shape or form. The Amazon Mass Purchase Date is of course, the release date, DECEMBER 7TH, 2004. This is our last chance, guys! We have to show Disney that we want our show back!

Greg Weisman, the creator of Gargoyles, had this to say on the Station 8 Comment Room (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/comment.php) and Ask Greg (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/):



Gang,

I just talked to the folks at Buena Vista Home Entertainment.

I asked them what was the best date for us to MASS ORDER/PURCHASE the 1st Season Gargoyles Series DVD.

My contact was unequivocal in his response.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7th, 2004.

Yep, that's right the day of the release. I guess anything earlier is nice but winds up being too early to be useful. But day and date with the release is exactly what we need.

In the meantime, BV encourages ALL OF YOU to go to Amazon and rave in the comments/reviews section. Leading up to Dec 7, the more good buzz on Amazon's site the better.

(Remember this is the make or break event in the fandom. It's time to prove to Disney once and for all that we have the bodies and the dollars and the fanbase and the communications skills to support more Gargoyles product -- both merchandise and creative. If we can't prove it with this DVD release... well, we're not likely to get another chance.)

So spread the word. SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!

The DVD is coming out December 7th. And we'd like EVERYBODY to ORDER/PURCHASE it on THAT DAY!!!!!!!!!You can read his post here. (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=406)

It's now a reality: the DVD is coming out, all thirteen episodes of the first season, with commentary from Greg Weisman and Frank Paur (producers), and Keith David (voice of Goliath) on the original five-episode pilot, with bonus features such as a documentary on the Gathering of the Gargoyles and the original show pitch, among other things that have yet to be revealed.

ALL EPISODES WILL BE UNCUT, INCLUDING DEADLY FORCE.

We need this DVD to sell as many units as possible. Spread the word. Purchase the DVD from Amazon on December 7th, 2004. Each purchase will help put the DVD on Amazon's best seller list, which should draw in more buyers. The more, the better. If you're going to buy multiple copies, be sure to buy one from Amazon and one from a store near you. If the first season sells well enough, THEN THERE WILL BE MORE. Let's show Disney 2-D isn't dead and that the 65-episode rule should be abolished! Let's show them there's a fandom out there willing to buy Gargoyles merchandise and make them regret cancelling the show!

We need to advertise this DVD, and support the show, more than ever. Just remember, Disney's testing the waters. If Gargoyles sells well, then they'll make season boxsets for other series, like Duck Tales, Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck, etc. If you're not doing for Gargoyles, then at least do it for all those other shows.

December 7th, 2004 can't come soon enough!

[Fone Bone]

So it counts if we buy it at a retail store? Cool!

I originally wanted it for Christmas, but if it means new Gargoyles episodes and future Disney Box Sets I'm picking it up on the day it's released.

Thanks for the info!

[raykremer]

Thanks for the heads up. Ordinarily I don't get my DVDs through Amazon, but for the cause of keeping Gargoyles alive, I will. Heck, even getting the second season on DVD may depend on this.

[Conekiller]

Seeing as Dec 7 is my Birthday and I work at Best Buy, Theres a gigantic chance that I'll be picking that up on release day.


I wonder if buying it emplyee discount will affect the tally.....?

[Wanted]

Well, I'll try to get it as early as I can when it releases into stores, but it all depends on my parents, and their willingness to go anywhere.

[Barb Gordon]

I'm thrilled someone here posted about this. It'd be great if we could get enough activity going to pique Disney's interests...if even a little. Dec. 6th is my birthday, so I definitely know what one belated gift will be!
To show your support, as Greg said, post positive reviews over at Amazon.com to boost up the DVD's importance. I'll be writing one myself sometime this week. The more reviews on how great the series was and how much we want more episodes/and DVD releases the better!!!

~Barb

[VA Garg]

Almost in time for my birthday (December 6th)!

[Barb Gordon]

Welcome hon, glad to have you at TZ! Hope you stick around. Dec. 6th is my birthday as well, so I guess we're birthday buddies ;)

~Barb

[TimTwoFace]

In. Tense.


About time, too. I haven't seen this show in forever, and I'd love to get these on DVD. :)

-Tim

[DTaina]

Yes, it counts if you buy it at a retail store. The important thing is to buy the DVD on the release date. It doesn't matter where you buy it, as long as it's on December 7th, 2004. I don't think buying it at the employee discount will hurt sales, but maybe you should look into that.

If you can't purchase it from Amazon, then that's fine. You want the DVD on that very same day and don't want to wait for it to ship? Then that's fine, too. You don't have enough money to buy multiple copies? That's fine, no problem.

The Amazon Mass Purchase Date is just to get the series on the best seller list, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to buy it on Amazon. But if you can, do so. We need all the publicity we can get, and being a best seller on Amazon should really turn some heads!

You don't want to buy it because you're not a fan, or for any other reason? That's a pity, but at least spread the word. Talk about it in forums, at college, with friends, anywhere. This is the series' last chance! We've waited eight years, we've had to put up with the disaster that is The Goliath Chronicles, but now we have a real chance to get the series back! Let's take advantage of it!

[Barb Gordon]

And don't forget to try and write a review for Amazon! They're up to 29 right now, which is pretty great considering there's still over two months left before it it released. It'll be even greater if we can manage to get up to 50 or 100!

~Barb

[magicjac]

I don't know if I can buy the DVD the very day it is released, but I will definitely write a positive review for it on www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com) It all depends if my parents will agree to pay for it on time lol. Sometime my mom waits months before sending the actual payment for the Amazon item, but hell, I will go and write the positive review right now:)

[Duke]

If you want to give some money to ToonZone while you're at it, try this link (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1095789983/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-4483181-7853732?v=glance&s=dvd).

[StarScream64]

December 7, day before my birthday. Maybe that'll be my birthday present to myself... If I won't be as pooras I am now. As much as I LOOOOOOVE the show and want to support it, I can't really go around throwing my very limited caché of moolah to DVDs like that. :sad:

[Barb Gordon]

Well if you can, try and post a review up at Amazon. That's the second best way to help promote Gargoyles if you're not sure you can buy it yet. But it would definitely make for a good birthday present, I know it's going to be one of mine!

Most of us are aiming for 100 reviews if possible, and we're almost up to 40 as it is...with over two months left to go before the DVD's release!

~Barb

[DTaina]

Oh my god oh my god oh my god...

Here's a picture of the DVD cover art!! :D

http://www.animated-news.com/archives/00002387.html

It's not like The Heroes Awaken! It's not goofy or cartoony! Is Disney finally promoting this series they way they should've ten years ago? [LOL]

Keep the reviews coming! Here's the link once again! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1093025572/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-9976945-5350505?v=glance&s=dvd)

[Fone Bone]

Can you write reviews on Amazon without purchasing it there? If so, I'm in!

Edit: I tried it but it said the page was unavailable. Can someone help me?

[DTaina]

Fone Bone: Yes, you can. You have to register, but it only takes a few minutes.

BTW, for those who haven't seen the cover for The Heroes Awaken, click here. (http://avalon.gargoyles-fans.org/ftp/pictures/misc/gtmfront.jpg) Isn't it just awful? Goliath's a HOT PINK! [shudder] And those goofy looks on their faces... what were they thinking?

EDIT:
Fone Bone: It says the page is unavailable? Oooo. PM me? Maybe I can help.

I tried registering and the link led to nowhere. How should I do it properly?

[Barb Gordon]

I'm bliiiind I'm bliiiiiind.....
Oh dear god, no wonder the people over at S8 were in such dread over whether the DVD cover-art would be a nightmare or not!
I saw the cover art today myself, and I love it! It looks really nice...and considering the alternative could have been pink....then it's the best thing ever :D

And that is odd Fone, I don't know why Amazon is giving you issues. But yeah, you can write a review but not buy it there. Have you only been having these issues on one specific computer, or everywhere you try it? I know my school computers can have issues sometimes, but my laptop at home always works fine.

41 reviews thus far!!!

~Barb

EDIT: I just went through Amazon and it's all going fine for me. I went to the Gargoyles DVD page and clicked on Write a Review (http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/write-a-review.html/ref=cm_rev_write_2/103-2016173-3931808?asin=B0002W4SY0&store=dvd), and you just go from there with entering your email addy and saying you're a new user.

[Sandoz]

I think the cover art is kind of bland, actually. Lots better than the "Heroes Awaken" cover art certainly, but Gargoyles used to have some great promo images.

Like this one? (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/archives/images/misc/gargoyle.jpg) It's my FAVORITE Gargoyles pic ever. :D I was hoping they'd use that one, but well, as long as it's not The Heroes Awaken, I'll be happy. :D

This one's (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/archives/images/misc/Gargoyles8C.jpg) great, too.

Take a look at all the promo posters (or at least most of them) here (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/archives/images/misc/).

You don't have to buy it on Amazon, but as long as you buy it on the release date, no matter where you buy it, then you'll be contributing to our cause. Try buying it from a retail store or just order it from Best Buy. Shipping may take a few days, but as long as you order it on the release date, then that's what matters.

Odd that the ad page mentions Brent Spiner. I don't recall him even being in the first season. They could have used Marina Sirtis instead, she's still from Trek. Hell, Frakes and Sirtis are the reasons I started watching Gargoyles when it first appeared.

Brent Spiner plays Puck, from Season 2, so I still can't understand why they put him in the ad for Season 1...

Hi, Matt!

Well, to find out if your review submitted or not, you go back to the page, reload a few times, and if it's there, then it's uploaded. If it's not there, then you wait a day, at most. If it's still not there, then it's not submitted. You say you pushed the PREVIEW button? No wonder it's not there! You have to push the other button! Do you have MSN or AIM? Maybe I could walk you through it? I just hope you have the review saved to your computer!

51 reviews and counting! YAY! We're halfway there! Let's see if we can make it to 100! Click here! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1093025572/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-9976945-5350505?v=glance&s=dvd)

Click on Write an online review to submit a review under the item. They'll ask your e-mail address. Fill that out and check the box that says "No, I'm a new customer." Fill out the next page. Write your review, then click "Preview your review." Now, here's the trick. They'll tell you you need a real name badge (which I guess is from credit card information) to submit it. Now, on this page, in that little gray box that has the link that says "Enter credit card holder information" there's another section just below it that says "If you do not want to use your Real Name, you may Create a pin name."
Click on that link there, enter your pen name, Click Continue, and viola! You are now a free member of Amazon.com! Just click Save your review and it should be submitted.

I hope this helps you and anyone else that may be having any problems.

*crosses fingers* At the rate we're going, we may just get to 100, and maybe more!
I wonder what the Disney execs would think of that...to see this DVD reviewed in such mass and so highly...before it even comes out!

52 and going strong!

Good luck guys :D

[DTaina]

Hi, guys! I was browsing Station 8 and someone posted this link: UltimateDisney.com (http://ultimatedisney.com/). It puts Gargoyles in the #12 spot for number of pre-orders. Yay! Now, right now, we can't do anything to improve those numbers since we're not supposed to pre-order it until December 7th, but when the time comes, let's try to get that DVD on the Top Sellers list on both UltimateDisney.com and Amazon.com! Now THAT would truly turn some heads. :D

If that isn't the case it'll be easier for me to just buy it on December 7 at Best Buy.

No, it's on December 7th. On that same day. Anything before that is nice but won't help our cause. And the Gargoyles DVD is more expensive on Best Buy than on Amazon from what I've seen. :P

Okay. Only three out of five people liked my review. You read it. Was there something wrong with it?:(

[Barb Gordon]

The point of ordering on Amazon on Dec. 7 as opposed to just buying it at Best Buy or something, is to boost its spot on the sale chart - to make it noticeable. The fans want to make a point, an impression, on the Disney execs. We want to show how popular and loved this series still is by having it shoot up to the top of the charts on the Amazon best sellers list the day it releases. That is also why we're trying to get as many reviews of the DVD as possible.
Wherever you buy it counts in the long wrong. But Amazon is very noticeable and that's why we're trying to make a big show there.

I don't have a credit card and I don't think my dad will order it for me on that exact day. I'll try to convince him though. I'll pay him the money for shipping and the DVD price so hopefully he won't have a problem. When I first told him about it he sent an E-Mail to Amazon asking them if they accept money orders. I hope I can convince him how important this is.

And Barb, which review was yours?

And thank you DTaina. I liked your review too. Your real first name is Demona?:eek: :D

Well, the plan right now is to review the first season and mass purchase it on December 7th to hopefully get the series on the best seller list and when all the new buyers come rushing in and see all those reviews, they should be curious enough as to what all the hype is about and be tempted to buy the series. Once the DVD is in our possession, then we'll review the special features. ;) If everyone decided to review it when they buy it, then that would kind of defeat the whole purpose, I think.

People have done the same thing with DVD releases like Batman and Lord of the Rings: they review the content first, and then review it again with the special features once the DVD is released. And that's what we're doing.

But if you want to review it when you buy it, then that's okay. :) And it's great that you're going to buy it on the 7th! :D

58 reviews still! It's slowing down a bit... let's pick up the pace! We need 100 by December 7th! Here's the link. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1093025572/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/103-7045822-9215808?v=glance&s=dvd)

Just posting to thank all of you for helping get our review count all the way to 60. We're so close to our goal I can feel it and it's all thanks to you guys. :D

I wanted to show you guys a fan-made commercial for the Gargoyles DVD. It's got a few bugs to work out, but it's awesome. You'll need Windows Media Player or some other variant in order to see it. Click here (http://www.sirens-grotto.com/gargoyles.wmv) to download it! :D The commercial was made by the very talented Siren, who's made other music videos about the show. Here's her website, Siren's Grotto (http://www.sirens-grotto.com/).

Tell Siren what you think of it over at the Station 8 Comment Room (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/comment.php). :D

Tell Siren what you think of it over at the Station 8 Comment Room (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/comment.php). :D

Wow! :eek: That was great! Probably the best Gargoyles commercial I've ever seen. It certainly does the show great justice.

I'll definitely be sure to comment over at S8!

Speaking of commercials, does anyone know if there are going to be any commercials from Disney on the release? I know a bunch of series' DVDs just sort of slide out onto the shelves.

Yes, Toon Disney and ABC Family will be marketing the Gargoyles DVD and airing commercials on their respective stations. I heard Toon Disney mentioned the Gargoyles DVD during the "Friday Nights of Fright" Gargoyles marathon, but I didn't see it, so I can't confirm that. I'll let you guys know next Friday.

Oh yeah, Toon Disney will be airing ten episodes of Gargoyles every Friday night for their "Friday Nights of Fright" marathon. They're skipping episodes randomly, but the commercials are pretty neat.

ABC Family will also be airing commercials, I think. I just don't get how they're supposed to market a series they don't even air anymore. But that's ABC Family for you...

Greg Weisman posted a ramble on Ask Greg (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/) that includes details about the DVD. Click here (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?rid=394) to see it. It mentions the commercials. :D

There are also two videos taken directly from The Gathering of the Gargoyles in which Greg Weisman reveals the release date, among other things. Definitely worth checking out! They're "Greg Announces DVD" (http://s8.org/gargoyles/gathering2004/videos/Greg_Announces_DVD.wmv) and "What You Can Do to Help." (http://s8.org/gargoyles/gathering2004/videos/What_You_Can_Do_To_Help.wmv) For more Gathering of the Gargoyles videos, click here (http://s8.org/gargoyles/gathering2004/videos/). Make sure you download the .wmv ones, since the .avi ones don't work for some reason. Hosted by Station 8 (http://s8.org/gargoyles/). :D

You know, I typed a review for "Gargoyles" on www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com) the other day, and it was never posted. I'm about to try and post another one, and www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com) better post it!

[Fone Bone]

Bump.

Hey DTaina can you give us an update on how the Amazon reviews are going?

[DTaina]

Magicjac: Did you manage to post the review in the end? If not, then PM me. Maybe I can help!

Fone Bone: Sure! We have 61 reviews so far and the Amazon DVD Sales Rank is 737, when a few days ago it was down to 5,000. One time, it made it to 100! I hope we can make it to at least 10 when December 7th comes...

And for those who haven't posted reviews, for whatever the reason, please reconsider. We're up to 61. Just 39 more and we'll reach our goal of 100!

Over at the Station 8 comment room, we were discussing going to popular forums for other TV shows or movies like, say, Spawn, The Lord of the Rings, etc., talking about their favorite actors lending their voices for Gargoyles. Maybe we could promote the DVD in those forums and reawaken some old fans and make new ones!

[Barb Gordon]

Up to 62 reviews now....I know there are others of you just dying to write one ;) You can always check my sig to see the current review count, by the way.
Amazon finally has the DVD coverart showing, so it should be easier to spot the DVD link now.

[Barb Gordon]

I just saw my first DVD commercial on Toon Disney (it was VERY quick) and followed an ad for the Friday Nights of Fright Gargoyles episode marathon. I don't recall them advertising the DVD during the Fright nights, but perhaps I just was out of the room at the time or something...if they were as short as this one I just saw, then it's very possible. It was still really cool to finally see one!

~BarbYou're lucky! I've watched Toon Disney every night in the hopes of catching the DVD commercial, I even sat through one of those horrible episodes of Beyblade B-Force (what a pointless show...), and at last, I saw a glimpse of Goliath awakening from Awakening: Part II, right after House of Mouse, and what happened? A LOCAL COMMERCIAL CAME UP! Aaarrrggggh.

[DTaina]

Hey guys! Check out the updated cover/disc art right here (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/graphics//news4/Gargoyles_S1_FinalArt.jpg). Here's a link to the article (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=2306), from TVShowsonDVD.com. Here's the link to the rest of the news (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/shownews.cfm?ShowID=1848), in case you're interested!

Amazon finally has the cover up on its page. Check it out! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1093025572/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-5158186-8262459?v=glance&s=dvd)

67 reviews and counting! :D

[Conekiller]

That's cool, but I kinda don't like that image of Goliath.

I like how it says 10th aniversary special...as if there has been a regular one :D

[Barb Gordon]

70 Reviews!!!

Come on, everyone, we are so close to hitting 100 by the time of the release date! I really urge anybody who hasn't put up a review to please do so. Every review counts and helps us out. Help us reach 100 by December 7th and show Disney that Gargoyles Live!

~Barb

[DTaina]

That's cool, but I kinda don't like that image of Goliath.

I like how it says 10th aniversary special...as if there has been a regular one :DI didn't like it that much at first either, but it's grown on me. I still want to know why Goliath's flinching. [LOL] But hey, look on the bright side! It's not The Heroes Awaken. :D

Yeah, the fans got a real laugh out of the whole "special tenth anniversary edition" thing at the Gathering. "Yeah, like the other editions!" HAHA! And then there's also the inclusion of Brent Spiner even though he doesn't appear until Season Two. Geez. But I guess it's better than nothing, huh? :P

Barb Gordon: YES! We've reached 70! WEE!!! :D

Everyone else who hasn't left reviews, please take the time to do so! We have fifty-five days left, more than enough time to reach one hundred reviews, and then some! :D Click here! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1093025572/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-5158186-8262459?v=glance&s=dvd)

There's a second page for the Gargoyles DVD up on Amazon. It's actually the first, but Amazon went ahead and made a new page instead of updating the old one. The outdated page has eight additional reviews and an option to leave your e-mail so that Amazon may let Disney know how many people are waiting for the DVD. You can leave your e-mail if you want! Click here. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JNEL/qid=1093880397/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-5158186-8262459?v=glance&s=dvd)

Please don't leave reviews on that old page, use the new one! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1093025572/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-5158186-8262459?v=glance&s=dvd) Is there a way to move those eight reviews to the new page? :P It seems like such a waste to have them on the wrong page!

So we have 78 reviews in all! Isn't that cool? :D A pity eight of them are on the wrong page. Oh, well, we have 70! That's what matters! :D

EDIT:
I was looking through the old posts on this thread, and one of the earliest posts mentions the Gargoyles DVD having 29 reviews on September 21st. So that means that we went from having 29 reviews to 70 in twenty-three days! Give yourselves a round of applause, you've earned it! :D

[Conekiller]

Well, now that I'm no longer with Best Buy, I'm giving serios consideration to Buying thru amazon now...

Will pre-ordering help the cause, or it has to be ordered on Dec 7? Cuz if that happened, do you think they may need to backorder?

[Barb Gordon]

Yes, please do consider getting it from Amazon then!
The backorder thing is a good question, I'll ask some of the people on S8 and see what they have to say about it.
You can order it now and it'll still help...but we're just trying to make a big impact by everyone ordering it the day it is released, to make positively sure it can get on the #1 spot for sales so that Disney will know the fanbase is strog for Gargoyles.

~Barb

[Barb Gordon]

They seem to think Amazon will be prepared for this....I wouldn't be surprised, as someone else mentioned, if Amazon has gotten word of the plan for the masses to get them all on the same day.

Nice little jump in the reviews - a whopping 75!!!

That is really just too cool for words. We are so close everyone, just 25 away from 100 reviews before Dec. 7...it is so doable!

~Barb

[Starlioness]

add another review from me please :cool: please read and critique:anime:

[DTaina]

add another review from me please :cool: please read and critique:anime:Oh, it was very good! I loved it because you mentioned the gargoyles' animalistic side, and shocking your teacher! It's great! :D Let all those people know that you can learn a lot from Gargoyles and that that will serve you well in school! ;)

We have 77 reviews! WOW! At the rate we're going, we'll make it to 100 in no time! Thanks everyone! :D

Check out this great review called, "Gargoyles - The Dark Side of Disney," (http://www.dvdtoons.com/features/11) from DVDToons.com. :D

[StarScream64]

add another review from me please :cool: please read and critique:anime:That was great! And Kudos for being brave enough to shock your teacher. ;)

[Barb Gordon]

That was an awesome review hon! Woooo so close, we are on a roll!

StarScream - love the sig :D

~Barb

[matta2fatta]

qwestion can one put more than one review? or does that not count

[DTaina]

qwestion can one put more than one review? or does that not count
No, you can't submit more than one review. To do so would defeat the entire purpose, since Disney would think that we're cheating and most of the reviews wouldn't count because they're from the same person. However, you can leave another review once the DVD is in your hands and you may review the special features, image and sound quality, cover, etc.

[Fone Bone]

All we need is 21 more reviews? I think our next challenge should be How many more than 100 can we put up?

And come hell or high water I WILL convince my father to let me order the DVD ON December 7th from Amazon.

[Barb Gordon]

only 19 more reviews needed now :D

I'd rather err on the side of caution and just keep my eyes on the prize of attaining 100 first. Once that is done, then we can aim again for 150 or something. We've got under two months now, and we're very close to 100 but still....all I want right now is to see that number go 1-0-0 before anything else.

Thanks to everyone that has been spreading the word, and please, don't stop! Tell anyone and everyone you can think of, and try and get more reviews from new people if possible. We need under 20 to hit our goal!

~Barb

[DTaina]

Yes! We have 81 reviews! This is great news! :D We're so close to our goal of 100!

Everyone who hasn't already left a review, I urge you to reconsider. I can't stress how important it is for us to get 100 reviews or more and for this DVD to sell well. If you can't buy from Amazon on the release date, or if you can't buy the DVD on the release date period, you can still support the show by leaving a review. It doesn't matter if you're not good with words, or if you're not a good typist; we can help. If you're having technical problems, then we can help, too. But at least try. It only takes a minute! Here's the link again! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1093025572/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-5158186-8262459?v=glance&s=dvd)

[DTaina]

I just noticed that Amazon has this section called "Spotlight Reviews" for the Gargoyles DVD. I've seen that on other items, but it was weird seeing it on Gargoyles. Does anyone know why we have that section? Did something trigger it? It wasn't there before. Well, they chose two reviews, and one of those reviews is by yours truly. Yay! :D Here's the link! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002W4SY0/qid=1093025572/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-5158186-8262459?v=glance&s=dvd)

And nope, no new news yet. We're hoping Greg Weisman says something, as he promised he would, so we're waiting on that. Right now, all we can do is leave reviews and spread the word, be it online or offline. We have 82 reviews and we have over a month left, so we're doing great. :D

I'll let you guys know if I find more news!

[Barb Gordon]

Way to go hon, that's awesome!

[Locall]

Can someone help me to get the DVD, I'd like to have it, but I can't buy from the internet...:sweat:

[Barb Gordon]

It's not just available on the net hon. Most of us are just trying to buy it from Amazon get the DVD on its top ten sellers list. Buying from anywhere will still help sales. The DVD will be available everywhere, so if you have a Best Buy, Costco, Target, etc. near you, buy it from them.

At Amazon.com! That's what this whole thread is about. :D We're trying to get EVERYBODY to buy (or order) the DVD on December 7. And If you can't buy it ( or even if you can) we'd like fellow supporters to post a review of it over at Amazon.com. The more rave there is about it, the more likely it'll be that maybe Disney will do something about it. *crosses fingers....uh, talons?*

The link to the DVD and reviews is in my sig, under "Support Gargoyles od DVD"
But remember, we're trying to order/buy it on December 7!

[Duke]

At Amazon.com! That's what this whole thread is about. :D

Locall just said that he can't order from the internet.

[StarScream64]

[/font]

Locall just said that he can't order from the internet.Ahhh. For some reason, I was thinking Locall meant that they couldn't find it on the Internet. See what too many cookies can do to you O_o

[DTaina]

Thank goodness Puerto Rico is a US territory, which means we'll be getting the DVD here. But maybe Disney will release the DVD internationally if it sells well enough? In any case, you could always buy a region-free DVD player. Yeah, it sucks, but it's better than nothing, I guess.

We have 85 reviews! Only fifteen more! :D

[Locall]

Ahhh. For some reason, I was thinking Locall meant that they couldn't find it on the Internet. See what too many cookies can do to you O_oI tried Amazon, but I don't have a credit card, neither has my father...I think..
The other option was Money Order, but I don't understand that...
And ehm...I quess the DVD is region 1 only....which I can't play on our region 2 DVD player.....
Does anyone know what region a PS2 has ??

[Barb Gordon]

Woo, a nice little jump in the count since last night - up to 89 reviews!! Keep them coming people, we are so darn close!

Locall - a money order is where you go to the bank or market (at in least in the US) and you give them money. They give you a money order that is worth the amount of money you gave them...like a check but it's really just representative of cash. You fill in who the money order is for, in this case Amazon, and you would mail the money order to them. Once they receive it they would ship off the item.

~Barb

[Starlioness]

this may be a stupid question but, is today the 10th anniversary of Gargoyles?:ack: IMDB says it premiered on October 24th , 1994.. though I thought it was the 31st... any answers on this?:sad:

[Barb Gordon]

It is correct. Gargoyles arrived with Awakening Part One on October 24th, 1994. Halloween would have made more sense, but you wouldn't have had as many viewers that night when you think about it.

10 years of Gargoyles!!!!!

Don't quote me or anything, but I thought video game systems were seperated into regions, too. Or something like that. At least, I figured you couldn't buy a game straight out of Japan and play it here in the U.S., for intance.

You might want to ask that question over at the Video Games Forum. I'm sure someone there would know for sure.

Can you believe it, we're just TWO reviews away from the big 1-0-0!!!!!

~Barb

[Starlioness]

:eek: awww... we need to get two people somehow...*abducts 2 people :D *

[DTaina]

Heh heh, Amazon is falling behind! Three new reviews have been added today, and it still says we have 98! Ah, it'll catch up, but in the meantime, I think it's safe to say we've reached 100! Thanks to everyone who contributed; you've all been great!! :D

Now it's time to party!!! [throws confetti around] To those who haven't left reviews, you still can! We've reached our goal, but having over 100 would be nice!

You may be wondering, what happens now that we've reached one hundred reviews? Nothing... yet. Now we have to focus on promoting the DVD, buying it from Amazon on December 7th, 2004, and getting it on that best seller list! New buyers will see all those positive reviews and will want to buy the DVD, or maybe they'll remember the show. They'll buy it, for whatever the reason, which is exactly what we want!

Oh, and happy belated tenth anniversary, Gargoyles! :D

[Barb Gordon]

I can't believe the nice little hop we had to 101!! We did it guys! That's just so unbearably cool. Obviously the love of Gargoyles is still so very strong, I hope Disney finally pays attention to that! *hugs* thanks you everyone who left reviews.

But you know what?

Now we have to reach 150 :anime:

[DTaina]

I wish I had something new to report, but Greg hasn't said anything about the DVD. Well, he has posted rambles about the episodes The Hound of Ulster, Walkabout and Mark of the Panther! His rambles always contain some interesting information about the episodes! For example, Hound of Ulster's original title was "A Bronx Tail"! You can check out the latest rambles here (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/latest.php) (they're the ones in green). You can view the rambles, original outlines, and even scripts for every episode up to "Mark of the Panther" (he's still reviewing!) here (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/archives.php?lid=28).

Well, we have 110 reviews! Think we'll make it to 150 before December 7th? I certainly hope so!

[Fone Bone]

Bump.

damn like an idiot i was thinking it came out november 7 i went all over the place lookin for it then some lady at best buy told me it was out december. boy i looked like and sonofagun

We have 111 reviews! Let's see if we can make it to 150 before December 7th, 2004. Come on, let's find some more people willing to review! We're running out of time!

Fone Bone proving that the first post of the day is the most important.;)

121 reviews! :D Think we'll make it to 150 by the 7th?

[DTaina]

Well, let's see. We have 121 reviews! I'm starting to doubt we'll ever make it to 150 before December 7th, but 120's good! :D And the Amazon Sales Rank in DVD is #521. For weeks it was down to #1,000 or more. But that means that the Gargoyles DVD is getting consistant sales, enough to slowly get higher on the list of top sellers! Let's hope the DVD rank gets to the #10 spot or higher on December 7th!

Ahh, you're right. How silly of me to ever doubt! We WILL make it to 150 or close! WOO!

Let's see, we need some kind of topic... so... Hey! Gargoyles is part of Jetix on Toon Disney now. They've even aired Jetix commercials with the Gargoyles. There are no stand-alone Gargoyles commercials, but to even BE in one of those commercials is really something! What do you think of that? Good news or bad news? :P

...you mean it's on Jetix on ToonDisney...right?
Yes, Toon Disney. That's what I meant. Of course, it's also been reduced to weekdays and only one episode per day. But at least the episodes will last longer that way. :P

And we broke Amazon's counter again! We have 123 reviews, but it still says we have 121. Now I'm convinced we'll make it to 150 reviews in fifteen days.

...Fifteen days. The DVD will be here in fifteen days. I can hardly wait!!

*Comes back with a garg dog.* ...Huh. That didn't go the way I planned...

[loyalheart]

okay....as im visiting disneydvd.com, i noticed they removed 'gargoyles' dvd.... unless someone accidently cut it out when updating....

[DTaina]

Huh, it's not there. Weird. What could have happened? Well, it's still on the website at least, just not on the main page.

http://disneyvideos.disney.go.com/moviefinder/products/3771003.html

Let's hope they put it back up, or else. :P

And we have 124 reviews! But the Amazon counter is STILL broken. Oy. :P

EDIT:

Look what I found! It's the updated disc art!
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/coverart.html#december
Just scroll down to Gargoyles and click on "Disc 1 Art" and "Disc 2 Art." Isn't it nice? Much better than the old one!

[DTaina]

Guys, check these out! The menus from the Gargoyles DVD! And they're pretty neat!

http://www.dvdtoons.com/news/699

[StarScream64]

Wow. Those backgrounds look great. I don't even recognize some of those backgrounds. Though I doubt they made new images especially for the menus, so I'll just chalk that up to my rusty memory.
The discs look great, too.

[Uncle Beaglebub]

I wish Gargoyles fans all the best in your efforts! Maybe Disney will wake up and smell the coffee at last! Power to the people, man.

Um, I just want to also point out that December 7 is the day when "Kim Possible: The Villain Files" goes on sale too. Perhaps if KP fans did the same as you people we could give our show a fighting chance to live too?

[Harlan_Phoenix]

Wow. Those backgrounds look great. I don't even recognize some of those backgrounds. Though I doubt they made new images especially for the menus, so I'll just chalk that up to my rusty memory.

The DVD menus look completely new to me. The characters look like they were taken from the episodes (Bronx looks like he's from Enter Macbeth) but the backgrounds look new. They also look very stylish! I wonder if the characters move?

The "claw mark" highlight looks a bit dull. Let's hope it's animated or something, but as long as I get all thirteen episodes uncut and unedited, I'll be happy!


I wish Gargoyles fans all the best in your efforts! Maybe Disney will wake up and smell the coffee at last! Power to the people, man.

Um, I just want to also point out that December 7 is the day when "Kim Possible: The Villain Files" goes on sale too. Perhaps if KP fans did the same as you people we could give our show a fighting chance to live too?
Yes, after all, this isn't about Gargoyles anymore... this is about the future of all Disney animated shows! So, I'm going to buy the Kim Possible DVD on that day, too, and I encourage all Kim Possible fans to get together and buy both Gargoyles and Kim Possible on December 7th. This is the time to act and to prove Disney that our shows deserve respect. We should unite instead of pointing fingers or judging a show... it's everybody's problem!

The fate of all Disney Afternoon shows, and even current shows, may depend on the sales of the Gargoyles DVD. Let's hope the sales are good enough to prove to Disney that they shouldn't cancel shows at sixty-five episodes...

It's better than having 26 episodes. (I'm looking at you Sunrise/Cartoon Network...canceling Big O like that...butt monkeys.)

damn i cant wait them backgrounds gave me goosebumps

Guys! UltimateDisney posted a great review about the Gargoyles DVD! The reviewer also mentions a few things about the DVD menus, the presentation, chapter breaks (or lack thereof) and the bonus features. Definitely worth checking out!

Seven pages... you guys think it's time for a new thread? Naaaaah...

[CookieS]

Can I make a plea guys? How about on Dec. 7th (the day of the fan mass-purcahse day), you buy the Gargoyles DVD from the Toon Zone Store? Technically you're still buying through Amazon, but we get a commission for your purchase. The money we make goes into the upkeep of the Toon Zone server and our message board software license. Then you'll be helping save Gargoyles and Toon Zone at the same time.

To do it, just log into Amazon, then go to http://store.toonzone.net and look for Gargoyles on the main page. Click the purchase button and you're done. One-click shopping! Thanks.

Thanks for bringing that up! I think it's a great idea; after all, we've been using these forums to promote the Gargoyles DVD and getting all those reviews, right? So it's only fair for ToonZone to get something in return. :D

And besides, we all love chatting here, right? So let's help ToonZone, too! I won't be able to buy from Amazon because I don't have a credit card, and I'm sure I'm not the only one with that problem, but I know a lot of people can.

Isn't there an easier way to buy from Amazon through ToonZone? Maybe a single-click? I've seen it before...

One-click, you say? (http://forums.toonzone.net/showpost.php?p=1439878&postcount=13)

They didn't cancel it, it finished. A lot of anime series are planned for and run only 26 epsiodes.

There was an option in the contract for a 3rd Season if CN was willing to pay for it, but they didn't pick up the option.

Needless to say I was disappointed. Even with Big O's ending I thought something could be pulled out to continue the story.

Hello.

There has been a lot of discussion of the upcoming release of Gargoyle Season 1 one dvd.

But I have one question, which company is actually pressing/producing the DVD? And have those DVDs been quality test (taking one DVD from each batch produced to test to make sure this is nothing wrong with the DVD discs themselves)?

I would really hate for us to come this far and have us fall on our face and have the Gargoyles Season 1 DVD Boxset have sales are bad due to the Gargoyles DVD discs have errors in them.

Also, keep in mind that some of the Disney DVD are designed NOT to play on computers (though I hear you can still rip them on to your computer) like for example the "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" DVD.

This would really suck for us Gargoyles fans if either of these two problems came up because it would cause Gargoyles S1 Boxset DVD sales to drop, destroying the chances of getting Gargoyles Season 2 on DVD.

I have seen these event happen before on other titles released on DVD and I do NOT want to see this happen again.

[Uncle Beaglebub]

Bump! :p

Buena Vista is the publisher.

[Tommy Lawson]

I've made a reminder message at the top of this forums about Disney DVDs on Tueday, since Disney is releasing a lot of DVDs that day, in addition to the Gargoyles box set.

[Fone Bone]

Bump. TWO MORE DAYS!

[loyalheart]

has disney had any on-air promotion? I havnt seen any, so i was wondering if anyone has?

[sKorpia]

Order placed. Sales rank was at #276.

[DTaina]

Yes! December 7th at last!! The Amazon Sales Rank right now is 250, the highest we've gone since September, in which we hit 109. Everyone, buy buy buy buy!!! :D

Here's what Greg Weisman said at the Station 8 comment room last night:



Well, guys, tomorrow -- December 7th, 2004 -- is the big day. The GARGOYLES first season comes out on DVD.

I know I'm preaching to the converted, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is to the fandom that this DVD sells well.

Good sales on the first day, particularly a nice Amazon turnout, are important, but what's more important are PHENOMENAL SALES over the next month or two.

If you can't get it at Amazon, get it somewhere else.

If you can't get it tomorrow, get it soon.

But get it. And more than that get everyone you know to get it.

Get strangers to get it.

Yes, I know we're all a bit disappointed in the way Disney has somewhat failed to support the DVD with advertising. But as I've always maintained... the burden is on the fans. They need to prove to Disney that Disney needs to spend money to make money on Gargoyles.

They need to prove to Disney that the fandom is rabid and large and ready to support the property with actual dollars and cents.

A very small part of me feels bad about asking you to spend money. But keep in mind if this DVD doesn't do EXTREMELY well, it will be very difficult to convince Disney to support the property in other ways -- including a second season on DVD, let alone new and original material set in the Gargoyles Universe.

By the way, we did get a nice write-up here:

http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/rage/index1.htm

Check it out.

But mostly, take advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate your love for the show. Again this is NOT just about money. This is about SPREADING THE WORD WITH RELIGIOUS FERVOR!!!

Good luck to us all.

You heard the man! Buy buy buy! ;)

Three copies left? That's great news! And you guys are lucky. I can't find the DVD here in Puerto Rico, so I'm probably going to have to wait an extra week to see it. Aaargh...

[Spider-Man]

Is there going to be a talkback for the Gargoyles DVD set and talkbacks for all the episodes on the DVD? I haven't seen this show in ages and when I pick it up today (well two copies actually - one for me and one for my sister for X-Mas) I would like to be able to drop my comments on the episodes and disc as I make my way through.

[GF2814]

I bought mine this morning, and props to the creator, truly an EXCELLENT show.

[Harlan_Phoenix]

Sweetness. Sadly, I won't get mine till Christmas, but since my parents pre-ordered it, it's still helpful to the whole "Revive Gargoyles" thingy.

[ClockStomper]

I checked at 7pm, Wal-Mart was sold out and Target had only 3 copies.

[Fone Bone]

I did my part. My dad bought it off Amazon for me. (Through a Toon Zone link thank you very much). I'm paying him back Thursday.

[Duke]

I bought mine at Suncoast.

It didn't even have a "New Release Sale" sticker. You people better be happy! :P

I purchased my disc at Best Buy on Tuesday. I had to look in the Sci-Fi TV section, and there certainly wasn't a big deal being made about it (no fancy display kiosk or anything like that). But Best Buy had it, and that alone is quite a feat for the store (in my area, anyway).

I didn't see many other copies on the shelf; there were maybe four or five others when I was there. But that really doesn't mean a lot in terms of sales. It's possible that the store simply didn't request many copies of the disc to sell. So, I'm not gonna put too much stock into the 'flying off store shelves' theory until some official numbers are released.

I do wish the people at Disney would've put more effort into advertising the DVD release. But I know where to find it, and now my friends know where to get it. So, at the very least, word-of-mouth can bring in some new potential fans, or help out those who've been waiting to purchase it.

[Barb Gordon]

My friends and I bought ours yesterday :D We're all so excited.

Yeah, Disney is rather dopey in some ways...no pun intended. I guess the Disney Stores aren't even selling the DVD's or something.....?! At least that's what a few fans have remarked via the S8 comment room. They kept getting blank looks and comments like "Gargoyles is Disney?" or "we don't have it, go to Suncoast!" :sad:
Disney can be really depressing sometimes.

[matta2fatta]

when do we find out how much it sold???

[StarScream64]

141? Wow, that's a a nice little jump aince I looked Monday night. Go, you!

[Crash]

Got it from Amazon.

And I mean 'got it,' as in 'got it on my desk as I type.' And I didn't even have it overnighted. Just advanced ordered it last weekend with the free shipping deal. Amazon is working fast.

Yep. I know what I'll be watching the rest of the week...

[Starlioness]

I saw it at Tower Records for $19.99 ( cheapest I've seen anyway:p) .. and I saw 5 people buy it! .. too bad I don't have a DVD player or I'd get it :p.. there's also a store called Gargoyles near the Tower Records buy me.. I don't know if they know anything about the series...

[StarScream64]

*sigh* If I weren't on a budget, I'd buy it. Oh well, I've done what I could. Speaking of which, I'm just noticing that my review is a Spotlight Reveiw! Makes me feel all bubbly inside.:D

[ClockStomper]

I've seen it for 20 bucks everywhere I've been...so far, everywhere I've checked is sold out except K-Mart, they had 2 copys.

[Pyro]

All this excitement might make even me buy it, though I'm not a fan, and I've never watched the show.:anime:
