Home Movies - 'The Complete Series' to Get Re-Released this Summer!

Home Movies - 'The Complete Series' to Get Re-Released this Summer!


Coming back to stores in late June from Shout! Factory

    All 52 episodes of the cult classic animated series from Loren Bouchard (Bob's Burgers) and Brendon Small (Metalocalypse)!

    With an alcoholic soccer coach for a father figure and a woman who swears during parent/teacher conferences for an actual mother, eight-year-old Brendon Small chronicles his life as a jaded third-grader (who happens to have the brain of a twenty-something) with his video camera in order to cope with the trials of his oddly precocious life.

    With fresh, insightful wit and a terrific voice cast (including Small, H. Jon Benjamin, Melissa Galsky, Janine Ditullio, and Louis C.K.,) Home Movies was an early [adult swim] success story, and remains a hilariously animated sitcom for the frustrated junior auteur inside each of us.
WAAAAY back in 2008, Shout! Factory released the Home Movies - 10th Anniversary DVD package, a collectible set with nice bonuses included. Earlier this week, the studio reported on their social media feeds (like Instagram) that they were selling the last few copies of this item, now out-of-print.

Today Shout! turned around and announced that the 4-season collection isn't gone forever, however. On June 27th they will re-release it (in shelf-friendly packaging...see the cover art below) as Home Movies - The Complete Series. The 12-DVD set will cost $59.97 SRP; it includes closed captioning and these extras:
  • Commentary Tracks On Select Episodes With Cast & Crew, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Superfans, And The Staff Of The Onion
  • Interviews With Loren Bouchard, Brandon Small, H. Jon Benjamin & Melissa Galsky
