Yeah, sorry for the lack of updates. I haven’t worked on this in ages. Hopefully will have time soon.
Thanks you everyone for your well Wishes, and i’m so sorry for your loss Ronster. I was rushed into hospital again on Sunday but i’m back home now and thankfully it wasn’t anything too major, although it does look like i will need another operation to insert another stent if the artery that caused Sundays emergency gets any worse. So i need to take it very slow now during the long recovery. But, thanks to the amazing work the NHS have done for me, for the most part i feel better than i have for over a decade. Looks like i’ve been having mini heart attacks for years now and this was the one that finally knocked me down.
Thankyou for kind words and others too. My Mum also had issues with Vascular but it really came down to being the small blood vessels rather than problems with main arteries but it combined with other problems like Diabetes and Kidney Disease.
Blood flow around your body is very important not only to stop you say getting pins and needles but if yoh need treatment for an infection and anti-biotics don’t make it to where the infection is due to blood vessel damage then it can not be fought off effectively. Anyway I hope you can take that in. For my Mum whom was 77 nearly 78 which is relatively young but you see it’s multiple issues that is when you get in a real difficult situation. I hope you get on the mend soon Ady.
First thing I wanna say is I always pictured you as American. Hmm. Oh well. Lol. But sorry for your loss, man. My mom died of pneumonia back in 2003. My dad died in 2014, one of my four (now three) sisters died last year, my uncle died last month, my (wife’s) dog of 15 years died a couple of months ago, and I also had a niece on the wife’s side that died at only 6 months old a couple years ago. Amoung many others as well. Death sucks, man! But time does heal all wounds, even if only temporarily, until you think about it again. But it does get easier anyway.
Adywan, sorry to hear about you as well, glad you are getting better. A good reminder that we all need to take better care of ourselves.

I think Tartakovsky’s mini-series is the perfect 2.5. It covers the start of the war, Anakin’s knighthood, his struggle with the darkside and leads directly into ROTS.
I agree. I was thinking maybe a scene or two from the other CW could be inserted (even though it’s 3D instead of 2D) showing Bail asking for help (“Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars”
No problem. Check PMs
You may! PM sent.
Awesome, thanks!
Neat. I plan on having every foreign dub represented at least once on my “super set”. Like Sierra Brooklyn in German, Magic Love in Swedish, etc. I’d like to have at least one live action, 1 Mario cartoon and 1 Zelda cartoon in each language. What is a good Zelda cartoon, Mario cartoon and live action segment I can find in Danish, if any? I might even try to dub one episode with Charles Martinet and one with Chris Pratt, if I can find suitable audio.
Ah, maybe that’s why I didn’t remember the quality. I bought it only for the bonus segments. They seemed decent enough. That and George Washington Slept Here. If you’re after German audio, it can be salvaged by syncing to better quality episodes.
Yeah that’s what I plan on doing a 3 blu ray set of all 65 episodes in DVD quality. Its been so long that I’ve actually watched the German set I have (but like I said, I bought them when they were sold in volumes), so I didn’t really remember how the quality was. It’s the best source for Sierra Brooklyn anyway. The YouTube versions came from the German DVD.
Lol. I warned you that it was only good for the couple of missing episodes. That’s cool though, I have a few versions of SMBSS as well. As I said, my favorites are the US Shout version, and the “Collector’s Set” from Australia.
You didn’t include the Black Widow post credit scene?
Sounds awesome! Where can I find it? I want movie edits of all Disney Plus MCU shows except What-If. Exactly for the reasons you stated, better for rewatches.
Awesome, glad to hear!
I may have it. I’ll have to double check.
Yeah the Zelda previews, amoung other things. I don’t have my set with me right now (in storage) but off the top of my head, George Washington Slept Here is missing part of the dream sequence, The Magic Love is missing a section, which makes it hard to recreate in English. There is a complete version of that episode in Swedish on YouTube, but the part missing from the German version has a TV watermark on the Swedish one. Sierra Brooklyn, I think is only missing a section of the freeze framed cartoon Mario head. I sorta fixed that by adding more frames of the head and some music from the Inspector Gadget cartoon. Pretty sure all episodes have 20-40 seconds missing of each episode, not counting the Zelda preview.
Honestly, the most complete set is this Australian set.

It’s NTSC and has every missing “Mario” segment from the American set, except George Washington Slept Here. (Also missing a “standard” episode, but that one is on the US Shout set. The AU set doesn’t have any bumpers, but those are on the US set. The AU set also has some Domino’s sponsor bumpers (after the first theme song, which only some episodes used when originally aired) and Viacom closing tags.
The German set is really only good for some Zelda segments and George Washington Slept Here, unless you’re also after German audio. Pretty much every missing segment can be cobbled from YouTube. But as I said, my custom set will have EVERYTHING to make it as close to originally aired in the US as possible. I’ll get to work on it again soon. I’m going to include every Mario and Zelda segment, every found Club Mario segment and bonus feature, all songs restored, etc.
I think all/most foreign soundtracks contain the cover songs, but it’s not always easy ripping clean parts for English use.
Hello, I know a lot of episodes have properly been restored now by various people over the years and put on Youtube, but I’d like to mention that there’s been a new German complete series release of Super Show.
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Lou-Albano-voice/dp/B0B7GLN7ZS/
It contains both an English and German audio track, however I haven’t bought it yet so I can’t be sure if either contains the original music. If I were to guess, the German audio track probably has the music while the English one doesn’t, but again we can’t be sure until someone bites the bullet and buys the set.
I have that set. We’ll not the whole set, but Pidax put it out in parts before they made a complete set. It does include German and English audio tracks on the episodes with Mario cartoons, and all of the lost segments are included. However, they are still missing the cover songs on the English tracks. The only home video release of George Washington Slept Here.
The Zelda segments have only German audio and only include the live action portions as bonus material. The only home video release of most of the Zelda episodes, with German audio only.
The set is worth getting if you want those missing episodes in some capacity, but most (all?) of the episodes are missing some scenes here and there.
I will finish this project, though much like Adywan and his Star Wars edits, I can’t provide a time frame.
I’d love a link to this, please.
Could you also send me the Link via PN that would be great! Thank you!

“Red R2” issue now fixed 😃
I guess my eyes are worse than I thought they were. I don’t see a red R2 in the 2011 footage.
The “issue” was Adywan’s original fix for having two R2’s in the scene, which was coloring one of them red (see ANHR and last week’s preview video).
Ohh ok. I see it in the original comparison. So there were always “officially” two R2s in that shot? Never noticed before.

I know the show is on Disney Plus now, but I’m making my own DVD set of this show as well. I’m only interested in English and I want to preserve it in SD. Call me crazy, but I prefer to keep SD TV shows in the format they were originally broadcast. So no HD for old shows for me. I’m using the official DVD releases for most segments. A few were only on PAL DVDs that I’ll convert to NTSC. If they weren’t released on DVD at all, then I’ll use the Laserdisc release. Most episodes were released on either LD or DVD (or both). I’ll use the official VHS release if there was no DVD or LD release. Many of the Laserdisc rips are up on Archive.org, however, a few are not. Does anyone have these Pooh Laserdiscs?:
Everything’s Coming Up Roses / Pooh to the Rescue
Helping Others / Growing Up
King of the Beasties/ Sky’s the Limit
Wind Some, Lose Some / All’s Well That Ends Well
Birds of a Feather
There were only four segments that weren’t released on any home media format:
Fast Friends
To Bee or Not to Bee
Sorry, Wrong Slusher
Groundpiglet Day
There were also four 30 min (with commercials) specials which I consider to be part of this show as well. Only “Christmas” is actually recognized as part of the show, however.
Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too
Boo to You Too! Winnie the Pooh
A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving
Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You
“Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too” was released on Laserdisc and is up on archive. It was also “remixed” into the DVD movie “Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year” with some changes and redubs. “Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You” was released to DVD as aired, thankfully.
“A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving” (along with “Groundpiglet Day” and “Find Her, Keep Her”) was remixed into the DVD movie “Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of Giving” and can be patched back into normal episodes/ segments for 90% of the footage. S
“Boo to You Too! Winnie the Pooh” is on DVD as part of “Winnie the Pooh: Pooh’s Heffalump Movie”, but it’s also on UK DVD as originally aired.
“Honey Tree” has a few small trims on most pre-Storybook Classics video releases (save for the US Spanish version), which I’m guessing were sourced from a television print. Most noticeable when Rabbit reacts to Pooh noticing honey in Samuel J. Gopher’s lunchbox. In the complete version, you can briefly see him leaning into the interaction before he reacts in horror at what’s about to happen; however, in the trimmed releases, he’s already in his horrified expression when it cuts to him.
Ah, so would presumably this be fixed if one attached the Mini Classics opening/ closing to the segment from the DVD of the movie version?
Some years ago I released laserdisc rips of the two shorts that weren’t on DVD, but they were done on shoddy equipment.
Yes, I recently downloaded that torrent a few months. Both of those shorts (“Honey Tree” and “Tigger Too”) are the original 1986 home video transfers (later re-used for the 1990 Mini Classics VHS releases), with the Buena Vista opening logos omitted; whereas the “Blustery Day” transfer on the “Pooh’s Grand Adventure” DVD is 1994-2000 Storybook Classics version, which restored the original Buena Vista opening. (I also recently got the 1990s Storybook Classics transfer of “The Honey Tree” from a YouTube user.)
Sorry to bump this old thread, but what does this mean, exactly? For “Honey Tree” and “Blustery Day”, is the only difference between Storybook and Mini classics the Buena Vista opening logos? And then of course on “Tigger Too” it has that change as well as the other speed and fade edits you mentioned?
I’d love a link to this as well. I don’t know if you folks saw this, but someone made an audio track with the uncensored song lyrics that syncs to the official Blu Ray. It’s on the spleen and it sounds perfect, to me anyway. That should be able to be synced to this project just fine, I’d think.
