Video Business magazine's latest issue has a back-page ad directed at retail accounts, letting them know all about
Inspector Gadget - Collector's Edition Vol. 1: The Gadget Files. The cover art is prominently featured, so here is a scan of it for you to check out:
The ad goes over many of the selling points that we've already covered in
previous news item: the disc comes with the first five episodes from the classic series ("Gadget in Winterland," "Monster Lake," "Down on the Farm," "Gadget at the Circus," and "The Amazon"), that it features the voice of TV's
Get Smart star Don Adams, and that Bonus material includes the original PSA's, an interview with series creator Andy Heyward, and sneak peeks of other titles. Running time is 110 minutes.
The July 6th release date is verified. The DVD's list price is $14.99. In fact, Amazon.com has it
up for pre-order right now!
By-the-way, that art above looks like a finalized version of the Sneek Peek art shown among the bonus material on the May 25th release of
Heathcliff: The Movie. The Sneek Peek includes footage from
Gadget plus a look at a 2nd DVD cover for the good Inspector:
Gadget's Greatest Cases. We've had no word yet on this title from DiC or UAVCO, so we'll have to find out more and get back to you. In the meantime, here's a mini-shot of that cover art, too. Our thanks to regular contributor Pavan Badal for this:
