ONE OF THE GROOVIEST CARTOONS FROM THE '70S COMES TO DVD AS NAVARRE CORPORATION'S BCI INTRODUCES
"GROOVIE GOOLIES"
The Saturday "Mourning" Collection
Available October 24th For $29.98
Los Angeles, CA (July 13, 2006) – They were the grooviest, most eclectic array of animated monsters ever to hit the small screen in the early '70s. Now, thanks to BCI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation, the latest series from the Filmation catalog will be available on DVD with the release of "Groovie Goolies." The complete series, which aired in 1971, will be released on October 24th under BCI's Ink & Paint brand, and from media company and underlying rights owner, Entertainment Rights Plc ("ER"), at a suggested retail price of $29.98.
"As evidenced by our previously announced lineup, Filmation released some of the most memorable animated series ever to hit television in the '70s and '80s," said Jeff Hayne, Director of Acquisitions, BCI. "The Groovie Goolies were one of the most unique casts of characters on Saturday mornings, and we're glad to offer this complete series not only to those of us that remember it on television, but to a whole new generation."
"Groovie Goolies" features a cast of legendary monsters who get themselves in all sorts of wacky predicaments, as they joke, dance and sing their way through each episode. The hyper-colorful series stars the residents of Horrible Hall; Frankie, Wolfie, Drac, Mummy, Hagatha, Bella LaGhostley, Boneapart and a wealth of other animated tributes to classic monster movie icons. In each episode, the Goolies offer an abundance of goofy gags in "Weird Window Time," a segment reminiscent of the classic "Laugh-In" series. Each episode ends with an original Groovie Goolies rock song presented in the form of a wildly animated music video. This show inspired many famous "Goolians" including Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, and wealth of Hollywood's top award winning costumers, writers and make-up artists.
Special features include "The Definitive Groovie Goolies Documentary," produced by horror aficionados Wally Wingert and Dan Roebuck.
