Visit Dog City on DVD this June!
Today, Lionsgate Entertainment has informed retailers that a DVD of Jim Henson's Dog City: The Movie will be released on June 8, 2010. Originally appearing as part of "The Jim Henson Hour" in 1989, "Dog City: The Movie" is an Emmy award-winning classic directed by Jim Henson. This parody of the film noir gangster films takes us through the busy but dangerous town of Dog City, teeming with colorful Muppet Dog characters. Rowlf the dog is your guide through the underside of canine life during the 1930s in Dog City.
Our hero, Ace, enters the world of bulldog gangsters and terrier molls when he inherits a saloon, “The Doghouse,” from his late Uncle Harry. Unwilling to pay protection money, Ace finds himself the target of Bugsy, a bulldog bully who owns most of Dog City, and also happens to be one of the foremost proponents of senseless violence. Ace also comes nose to nose with a beautiful runaway collie named Colleen. Colleen and Ace team up to take on Bugsy and his thugs in the tumultuous, dog-eat-dog world of Dog City.
Running 40-minutes, this single disc release will also include original movie concept art, a behind-the-scenes image gallery, and two animated episodes from the subsequent "Dog City" television series.
I will keep you updated as more release information on this exciting Jim Henson title becomes available.

I have a bootleg of this that will be finding it's way to the garbage can soon!!! SWEET!
Such amazing news! I'll be buying this the day it comes out!
All I have is an old recording I made when it was last broadcast on Odyssey. I can't wait until it comes out. Now if they release the TV series I would be left speechless.
We have some of the DogCity scenery for sale on Ebay. Just search Dog City, scenery or Between the Lions and use link.
We are moving studio and would like to find new homes for our treasures.
