Title: My Little Pony complete series - Rhino or Shout Factory?
Post by: Itcheeee on August 09, 2021, 03:59:52 PM
Are either of these uncut? The Rhino set is more affordable right now but I don't know if it really has the entire show. Don't need the Special and Escape Katrina uncut as I have the original VHS. Thank you!

I believe the Rhino set is only the first season, so it is missing several episodes.  The Shout Factory is the Complete Series and has all the episodes.  Both sets have Rescue at Midnight Castle and Escape from Katrina (though they are probably the cut versions).

That's too bad :( I was hoping I could get the Rhino version as the Shout Factory one is going over $100 for some reason. I honestly can't justify more then $35 on it. They can never make it easy :/

I don't know that there have been any DVD releases that have all the songs in all the episodes.  I'm pretty sure The Glass Princess is missing a song and I recall a thread discussing other episodes that were missing songs as well (though I don't recall which episodes/songs were discussed).

I do have an uncut VHS of Rescue at Midnight Castle so I understand the frustration with the cut versions when you're familiar with the uncut ones.

I have both, but it's been awhile since I watched them. I can't remember what's been cut from the episodes. Keep watching the listings, and prices will come down eventually. My original season one set and my childhood Firefly's Adventure VHS were stolen, and it took me years to buy the box set again because the prices were $200-300 on eBay for awhile. (It was expensive to begin with when my husband bought it for me for Christmas from fye for $60.) I finally found it last year for $15.

As far as I know, all DVD versions of the series have the edited-for-time versions of RaMC/Catrina, and I don't think "Hurry" in Glass Princess ever made it to home video :(

Ah, is that much much the original series dvds go for? :shocked: I really want it on dvd since it's one of my favorite cartoons, but I guess that's not going to happen anytime soon...

BTW, does anyone know if it ever got a region 2 release?

I know you guys are talking about purchasing physical copies for your collections, but if you just want to watch them for now, there’s a TV/phone app called Tubi that has both the original series and Tales for free. It has ads but not very many. I don’t know anything about whether they are cut or not though…

I may try Tubi on my Roku, I'm just concerned about the ads. I really can't stand dirty ads and really just want to watch it without ads, as Tubi isn't exactly a kids only thing you can't be sure the ads are clean. Hulu used to have horrible ads watching kids shows, turned my stomach. Wish Netflix had more 80s series :(

It was like $25-35 on Amazon but they ran out. Now the only one is priced $130 on eBay and they surely won't take the hundred off. 2 weeks ago it sold $20 on Mercari :( Shout Factory probably stopped printing them. Just bad timing I guess. Not sure about region 2 though, I haven't seen one myself.
