    It’s not like it’s been on DVD for that long (like 5 or 6 years?). I’m not that surprised if it’s out of print, but I didn’t think the demand would be so high that the major suppliers are completely out of them.

    Seems like a good time for someone (meaning Danny) to properly shore up the Boingo legacy by re-releasing this. The DVD was pretty much a straight transfer of the VHS if I remember correctly, so get the thing remastered, get all the guys together and film a reunion dinner or something, do a “where are they now” feature, etc. I’m not sure how the rights work with the various labels the band was under, but it would also be great to have all the music videos on the same set. I can understand how this would be hugely complicated for some bands, but for Oingo Boingo I can’t imagine this would be that difficult or expensive. Or is the bigger issue here that Danny has moved on and isn’t really interested anymore?

    This DVD has far exceeded my expectations. I had never seen Frankenweenie or Vincent and loved both of them. But the biggest suprise was the poem– Christopher Lee does a fantastic job reading, and the animation was great. It’s almost like a condensed version of the movie– the fact that it stands up so well even without Danny’s music is a testament to the genius of Tim Burton.
