Another perfect presentation,

This review is from: Ruby Gloom: Misery Loves Company (DVD)
This is the second DVD release for Ruby Gloom (the first being "Grounded in Gloomsville"). Note that the first DVD included the first 4 episodes of the series, whereas this DVD has the following 4 episodes:- #5 "Iris Springs Eternal" - #7 "Poe-ranoia" - #10 "Skull Boys Don't Cry" - #18 "Misery Loves Company" The packaging style remains the same as the first DVD's (and is predominately red, instead of purple). The first DVD had included a glossy slip-cover to fit over the case, but this time there is no included slip-cover, so they must have decided not to manufacture them (that or mine's missing). As before, the episodes are in their correct aspect ratio of 1.85:1 (fills a 16x9 widescreen TV) since the show is animated in widescreen but airs in 1.33:1 "full screen" 4x3 ratio (when aired, the sides of the widescreen image are cut off to create a "full screen" image). The video quality on the DVD release is excellent as with the previous release. There are absolutely no faults to find. The English audio is in Dolby Digital 5.1 as before, and clearly benefits from having discrete sound separation and makes full use of it. An additional French Dolby Digital 2.0 is also included. The menus on this disc are once again in 16x9 widescreen and easy to navigate. The main menu is a static image and the audio is an instrumental version of the show's theme song, while the episode selection sub-menu uses a piece of background music taken from the show. Unfortunately there are no special features on this release. Even though the episodes are now out of order on the DVDs, fans should definitely pick this one up since the audio/video presentation is magnificent. For new viewers, the episodes do not really need to be seen in order anyway, so I highly recommend it for anyone that is a fan of animation, goth-style imagery, or simply comedy that's enjoyable for both kids and adults.

Misery Loves Company, This Company Loves Misery,
By
This review is from: Ruby Gloom: Misery Loves Company (DVD)
Fans have been waiting a long six months for the release of this new DVD package from Nelvana, and their wait was worth it!This DVD contains four more episodes (though not in chronological order, they are "Iris Springs Eternal", "Poe-Ranoia", "Skull Boys Don't Cry" and "Misery Loves Company"), all of which have been restored to their original glorious 16x9 widescreen quality. Amazingly enough, there is but a single advertisement on the whole disc, and it's a static image that loads just before the Main Menu. Sadly, this also means there are all of zero special features on this compilation. But still, a perfect audio/video presentation make up for this lack of features. If you're shopping for your kids, make a mental note that this show is something both you and your kids can enjoy together. There's a lot of humour present that will fly over the heads of younger minds, which isn't often the case with most cartoons these days. Think 1960's Addams Family, that may give you a clue. Fans, buy this DVD right now! Nelvana isn't producing any new episodes at the moment, and perhaps all they need is a surge of DVD sales to point them in the right direction! I'll be standing line for the next release, count on it!

This review is from: Ruby Gloom: Misery Loves Company (DVD)
I admit I have hopped onto the Ruby Gloom Band wagon Perhaps a little too late. Because most Merchandising has been sold. but I have Net Flix to thank for introducing me to this delightful series, which has brought quiet literally the light side of the dark side to children and Adults alike. one can't help but falling in love with these quirky characters, especially Misery who's a walking Murphy's Law!

This review is from: Ruby Gloom: Misery Loves Company (DVD)
love ruby gloom , dvd only has 4 episodes - 91 minutes totalfirst episode is iris springs eternal - iris's love for adventure and hopping on springs causes trouble and holes. second episode is poe-ranoia - poe has a sprain and has to sit around. seeing neighbor's glass house and shadows causes him to imagine nefarious things and great paranoia and concern for his housemates who visit neighbor. third episode is skull boys dont cry - skull boy finds he doesnt fit in with his housemates clubs and tries to come up with his own. fourth episode is misery loves company - misery hates parties and surprises but ruby has invited 2 of her cousins. it gets real cold when the 2 are together. |
