Special Edition produced under the auspices of Rob Clampett, son of series creator Bob Clampett
(Company Press Release)
CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Aug. 11, 1999-- Image Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISK - news), a leading licensee and distributor of DVDs in North America, today announced an October 12, 1999 release date for the DVD of Bob Clampett's Beany and Cecil - The Special Edition. This tribute to Beany (the boy with the propeller cap) and Cecil (the seasick sea serpent) takes place on their 50th anniversary in show business.
This special edition includes four full episodes from the series and additional clips from Time For Beany, a live program that not been seen since its original airing fifty years ago. Original 35mm kinescope negatives were pulled from the vaults for this special tribute. The show won three of the first television Emmy awards for best children's program. Devoted followers of the program included Albert Einstein, Groucho Marx, Jimmy Stewart and Frank Zappa. Beany and Cecil creator Bob Clampett and key performers Stan Freberg and Walker Edmiston recount those years and more in audio commentaries included on the DVD release.
In the early 1960s Beany and Cecil starred in an animated series loved by a whole generation of baby boomers. This DVD Special Edition includes 12 cartoons transferred from original 35mm camera negatives. Beany and Cecil star in a scathing satire of 'you know who' in the episode titled ``Beanyland,'' bop around the Hungry Island with beatnik painter Go Man Van Gogh in ``The Wildman of Wildsville'' and visit the Isle of No Bikini Atoll in ``Cecil Meets the Singing Dinosaur.''

Warner Home Video is planning to release the sci-fi hit movie of 1999, Matrix, as both a rental and filled DVD title on September 21st. Doing this Warner hopes it will encourage salivating sci-fi fans to make Matrix the first DVD selling over one million copies.
The DVD, to sell for $24.98, will be housed on a DVD-ROM, enabling users to access additional information on the Internet, similar to DVD editions of New Line's ``Lost in Space'' and MGM's ``Ronin.''
By accessing the Internet through the disc, users can read the screenplay, view over 700 storyboards and view the scenes. A live Webcast with the picture's stars will be held 30 days after the DVD hits store shelves. Directors Andy and Larry Wachowski reportedly shot scenes for the DVD as production on picture progressed.
A Warner Home Video spokesman said the picture's sci-fi subject matter, box office success ($333 million and counting worldwide) and extra features could make it the biggest-selling DVD to date. The current record holder is the special edition of MGM's ``Tomorrow Never Dies.'' ``Titanic'' berths on DVD Aug. 31, so it will be an extremely tough competition between the two.
