Babylon 5: The Road Home - Animated Movie Announced

[Jan]

Looks like The Road Home has a Wiki page but on the bottom it states:

the film will be released on home media on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, and video on demand by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment in Summer 2023.^{[6] [7]}

Only trouble is, the two references they claim they're quoting don't say anything of the sort.


ETA: Looks like it's also got an MPA Rating of PG-13:

I wish you all could see how visibly happy this all makes me. Every time I read a post I smile. If any of these RUMORS are true I will be buying it on ALL formats because that is what I do.

Good idea since each purchase would count as A Sale and More Sales = Better Chance for a Sequel. Odds are DVD and BD would have the same content, while Streaming Options will most likely NOT include any bonus features or commentaries. But guess the best thing for Streaming would be that it would most likely be the first available format since Discs might take a day or three to arrive. Maybe buy spare Discs as can recall a Lost Tales DVD decaying while in the original shrink wrap.

Yes it never hurts to have backups. My LOST TALES developed issues. That is why I have backups of every DVD.release.

JMS went on quite the Tweet-spree the last couple of nights. A few items of note, in no particular order (as much so I can find them again as anything).

It will be very interesting to see what this ends up as.

Just saw this on the B5 subreddit. I don't know jow accurate this is since I am not in Phoenix, but it doesn't look like the same animation style of the promo image of the station.

Can anyone who was there confirm or deny this?

I'm here and these are real. As I said in my report, JMS didn't give explicit permission to post, which is why I haven't yet. I think mine may be just slightly better quality.

I am assuming ships / station will be polished CGI and the meat of the character / story stuff will be traditional animation in this style. I'm glad to see it's not CGI a la Clone Wars, as I think that look would be a mistake. I need to see it in motion to make a judgement call on the style, but they look to have gone for 90s WB Saturday morning cartoons kinda style. I'm down with it.

[Jan]

I got permission from JMS to post these.

[Ubik]

Cheers Jan, these are clearer than the Reddit post yesterday. I really want to see this stuff in motion! Looking forward to this a lot and the style looks fitting. Somewhere between anime and the WB house style for their DC content.

Ahhhhhh shiver up my spine! WOW when can I start pre-ordering and how many should I order? . . . 10

My LOST TALES DVD developed issues, too. When did I discover this? About twelve hours before I was scheduled to interview the director of photography for THE LOST TALES. I managed to get a working copy and review it within the available time, but it was close.

What is interesting to note is that the images that have been posted to facebook and reddit haven't shown up on any of the geek news sites. Side note for the WB news/trailer release, today, WB Animaton released the trailer and release information for their next DC Animated movie.. So maybe next Wednesday will be the day of the B5 release?

I'd sort of noticed that the images hadn's spread far. Maybe since those of us who took the pics aren't affilliated with any news/blog sites?

Next Wednesday would be a great day for the trailer for The Road Home! Fingers crossed!!
