JUST GOT OFF PHONE WITH SOME INTERESTING NEWS!
Ok, after i was transfered a few times, i spoke with this british woman thats in charge of distribution. Sonic Underground is being released firt, cause it was produced in a low budget company that worked with DiC. Theres a possibility that SatAM WILL be released sometime after Sonic Underground, cause DiC is trying to resolve this issue with Third Party Rights. And what are the Third Party Rights? Well, after a few minutes of building a steady repore with this woman, she spilled the beans about who is preventing them from releasing Aosth and SatAM. Ever heard of a company called Beuna Vista? Thats right, Disney's little company is holding back the release since DiC released the first DVD without their consent. The other issue is that DiC transfered to a different distribution company from Lions Gates to a DVDtoons. Its a company that was just started so theres nobody to talk to yet. Now this you will find a shock to. Since SatAM had 26 episodes, it was going to be released as a box set. So rest assure people, DiC isnt the enemy, its Beuna Vista cause their claiming rights on show when it was affiliated with Disney. The only piece of optimism this woman gave me was that they are doing everything in their power to release Aosth and SatAM. Surprising enough, she said DiCs been getting a lot of responses regurding SatAM, so we might have a chance still. Here is that website she told me about. http://www.dvdtoons.com/
Im glad i was able to solve this mystery

Now Im not sure if writing to these people or Disney will actually help, since it's a coorperate matter. They don't care much about individuals >< but for thsoe who want to see this box set, it certainly can't hurt. As for the SU DVDs, it's a way to show Disney that they actually released a whole Sonic seires to the public, and hopefully that'll get the bar rolling with Disney. So as mch as I hate to say it, BUY THE SU DVDs and help support SatAM when they come out. That is all ^_^;
