W.I.T.C.H.

W.I.T.C.H. DVD Boxsets

In order to preserve the legacy of W.I.T.C.H. it's important that the fans have physical copies of the episodes on DVD. It's only a matter of time until every show meets it's end and is no longer shown at all. Lizzie McGuire & Even Stevens where pulled from the schedule long ago, and any show could be next. Without box sets for W.I.T.C.H., there is now way to find new fans. And without new fans any series will fade away. We can't let that happen!

The Disney Company already releases box sets for ABC shows and select ABC Family shows, so they must recognize that selling currently airing shows on DVD can be profitable. They're released some older DC shows like TaleSpin and Darkwing Duck on DVD. (You can see many of these box sets in our shopping section.) Disney has also released a box set for Lizzie McGuire, but didn't release a second volume reportedly due to poor sales.

Which brings us back to our mission, to show Disney that there is a market for these DVD boxsets and that enough people can and will buy them for the effort to be worthwhile.

On September 1st, 2006, Disney made a move that would signal the end of the W.I.T.C.H. animated series. On that day they moved all JETIX shows off of ABC Family to be shown exclusively on Toon Disney. This mid-season move left many fans in the dark, as Toon Disney is in half as many households as ABC Family channel. It's true that this series didn't get super ratings on ABC Family, but reducing the amount of people who can watch it is no way to increase viewership! And now, many months after the last season two episodes have aired, there is still no word on a third season. Most networks renew their shows before the previous season ends, and this extended delay shows that Disney doesn't really want to renew the show. Most people will agree that the second season is a significant improvement over the quality of the first season. There is so much potential for a third season that it truly deserves to be continued. There is good news, however. Fans of Kim Possible where able to get that show renewed nine months after it 'ended production forever.' We can do the same for W.I.T.C.H., but only if we can generate the same (or even greater) level of support that KP had. This will be hard, but it is possible! But we need the help of every fan that can possibly help.
