JUST GOT OFF PHONE WITH SOME INTERESTING NEWS!

Ok, after i was transfered a few times, i spoke with this british woman thats 
in charge of distribution.  Sonic Underground is being released firt, cause 
it was produced in a low budget company that worked with DiC. 
Theres a possibility that SatAM WILL be released sometime after Sonic Underground, 
cause DiC is trying to resolve this issue with Third Party Rights. And what 
are the Third Party Rights? Well, after a few minutes of building a steady 
repore with this woman, she spilled the beans about who is preventing them 
from releasing Aosth and SatAM. Ever heard of a company called Beuna Vista? 
Thats right, Disney's little company is holding back the release since DiC 
released the first DVD without their consent. The other issue is that DiC 
transfered to a different distribution company from Lions Gates to a DVDtoons. 
Its a company that was just started so theres nobody to talk to yet. Now this 
you will find a shock to. Since SatAM had 26 episodes, it was going to be 
released as a box set. So rest assure people, DiC isnt the enemy, its Beuna Vista 
cause their claiming rights on show when it was affiliated with Disney. 
The only piece of optimism this woman gave me was that they are doing 
everything in their power to release Aosth and SatAM. Surprising enough, 
she said DiCs been getting a lot of responses regurding SatAM, so we might 
have a chance still. Here is that website she told me about.

Im glad i was able to solve this mystery

Well he did what several other FUSers included me could not, which is get 
info on this damn third party, so we all owe him a HUGE thank you. 
Now here's their website

Now Im not sure if writing to these people or Disney will actually help, since 
it's a coorperate matter.  They don't care much about individuals >< but for 
thsoe who want to see this box set, it certainly can't hurt. 
Either way, I'm going to do my damnest to keep everyone up to date and I'll 
do my best to get this DVD box set release.

Actually, I knew Disney was somewhat invovled

Since Disney had AoStH on the Toon Disney channel for awhile, and then they 
mysteriously took it off.  I thought maybe they were keeping both AoStH and 
SatAM off the air because of Sega's Sonic X was set to come out. I guess I 
can stop pointing fingers at Sega of America now because the issue seems 
to be just between DiC and Buena Vista. Oh, well, I hope DiC can work it out...
