Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
Release Date: September 27, 2022 August 2, 2022

Synopsis: In 2005, a new breed of Super Hero claimed its place of prominence among Saturday morning cartoons with the premiere of Krypto The Superdog: The Complete Series. On August 2, 2022, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment brings the acclaimed complete animated series to DVD (USA $44.98 SRP; Canada $49.99 SRP).

Created by Chris Mitchell, Krypto The Superdog: The Complete Series follows the adventures of the title character – Superman’s beloved pooch – who also acquires the powers afforded his original Earthbound master. Alongside allies like Ace The Bat-Hound and Streaky the Supercat, Krypto fights the forces of evil, which include the animal companions of Lex Luthor and Catwoman.

Sam Vincent (Ninjago, Sausage Party) voiced the title character to lead the robust cast that included Brian Drummond (Monster Beach) as Streaky, Scott McNeil (X-Men: Evolution) as Ace the Bat-Hound, Alberto Ghisi (Trick ‘r Treat) as Kevin Whitney, Tabita St. Germain (My Little Pony franchise) as Andrea, Terry Klassen (Dragon Ball Z) as Tusky Husky, Ellen Kennedy (Polly Pocket) as Brainy Barker, Michael Dobson (The Deep) as Bulldog. Additional cast members included Peter Kelamis (Beyond, Riverdale) as Tail Terrier, Mark Oliver (Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu) as Mechanikat, Trevor Devall (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe) as Hot Dog, and Nicole Bouma (Powerpuff Girls Z) as Snooky Wookums.

Scott Jeralds (Static Shock) and Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series) served as supervising producers, and Linda Steiner (Pound Puppies) and Paul Dini (Superman: The Animated Series) were producers on the series.

Can someone confirm whether the series is actually in true widecreen or not? nothing on the back cover to indicate the aspect ratio

I need to pick this set up! I got to pencil a Krypto the Superdog coloring book, Test Pilot Puppy!, for DC's licensing department back in 2006. I started recording and watching the show for research, and I became a fan. It really made me realize how much kid appeal the Krypto concept really has. What could be cooler to a 10-year-old kid than having a pet dog with super powers?

It is in 1.78:1 (or widescreen 16:9 encoded to a 853x480 matrix) which I think is the first time it has been presented in that ratio.

Here's a bit of trivia for those that might not know, this series was going to get another season but got cancelled because of copyright problems.

However, a tie in comic series was published around the time, Krypto the Superdog ended.

Now that I think about it, around that time there was a lawsuit going on about who owned the rights to Superman, if I remember correctly.

I think Netflix used to have Krypto the Superdog DVDs but it wasn't the complete series, just a few episodes per disk.

That would've been when Jerry Siegel's heirs were suing DC for the rights to Superman and Superboy, which led to DC Comics killing off the Kon-El Superboy for a while until the fuss died down and the nonsense of calling Superboy "Young Superman" in the Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon.

I also got a directive when I was getting ready to start penciling the coloring book Krypto: Test Pilot Puppy for DC's licensing department that I could no longer draw Superman in the book, even though he'd appeared on the cartoon series we were adapting. So instead of Superman appearing on the front page of a newspaper on one page, I just drew a picture of his emblem. I'm sure there were legal/licensing reasons behind that.

That sounds about right. If I'm not mistaken, Superman Returns and the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2, were released in 2006, which if I'm not mistaken, was the year the lawsuit happened. Smallville was also on TV too. There was a tie in Krypto the Superdog comic book but it only ran for six issues.

I remember a survey question where people were asked online about what cartoons they wanted to see rebooted or continued and Krypto the Superdog was one of the answers fans wrote down.

If you follow the link in my post, you'll see that the lawsuit was filed in October of 2004.

I'll take a look. Thanks.

I remember reading Krypto the Superdog premiered on cartoon Network in March 2005, which was five months after the lawsuit was filed.

I think a few episodes of Krypto the Superdog were released on DVD about a year later but a complete series set didn't exist until last fall.
