Early in August Disney released the live-action
Underdog film to theaters, starring the voice of Jason Lee (
My Name Is Earl) as our canine hero. At the same time, Classic Media and distributor Genius Products released
3 new DVDs from the classic animated series. Most stores sold those individually, but Target had an exclusive 3-pack of all three inside of a nice glossy slipcase, seen below.
Now Classic and Genius are preparing to send that 3-pack "wide" to all retailers.
Underdog - The Ultimate Collection will go for $27.95 SRP, but can
be pre-ordered from Amazon.com for $19.99 right now! It ships on
December 18th (we're guessing that this is probably close to the same date Disney will release the new film to home video), and here is the studio description and a look at the box (I took the picture myself):
Now you can enjoy the 1960’s classic cartoon superhero in a whole new way! This exciting set of THE ULTIMATE UNDERDOG COLLECTION includes all THREE volumes! Eighteen COMPLETE EPISODES, all digitally re-mastered! Each features Underdog’s greatest adventures with added fun from Go Go Gophers, Tennessee Tuxedo and many, many more!
