It's been just a bit over a month since we
passed along news that BCI is prepping a pair of DVD sets that will cover the Filmation cartoons for
The Lone Ranger/Zorro, with the first 2-disc package planned for January. Well, that
Volume 1 release will be ready a bit sooner than expected, so they've set a street date of
December 18th! Cost is just $14.98 SRP and can be
pre-purchased from Amazon for $11.19. Besides 17 cartoons (11 of
The Lone Ranger and 6 for
Zorro) running 375 minutes, there will also be a special feature: "
The New Adventures of the Lone Ranger: Spotlight Interview with Lou Scheimer." Here is the studio description, and the 3D high resolution box art:
RETURN WITH US TO THE THRILLING DAYS OF YESTERYEAR!
The most famous question of the Old West is "Who was that masked man?" The hero of the dusty plains is the Lone Ranger, clad in a black mask and carrying a gun loaded with silver bullets. Riding with Tonto, his faithful Indian sidekick, the Lone Ranger fights injustice on his galloping horse Silver, leaving behind a cloud of dust as he lets loose the hearty cry of "Hi Yo Silver!"
Clad all in black, and raising his sword in the name of justice, he is Zorro, the Latin hero of the South! Secretly nobleman Don Diego, Zorro defends the poor and downtrodden from tyranny and cruelty, with the help of his trusty companion Miguel! His calling card is the letter "Z," a mark he leaves behind with three slashes of his sword to remind evildoers that he is protecting the land.
Spotlighting the work of the legendary Filmation Studios, this volume features eleven thrilling adventures of THE LONE RANGER, and six heart-racing tales of ZORRO! With a stellar voice cast that includes William Conrad and Henry Darrow, this pair of action heroes fight for justice on DVD for the first time ever, alongside swashbuckling special features!
