THEY?RE NO SLIMMER BUT THEY?RE JUST AS STRONG; THEIR SECOND HOME-VIDEO VOLUME WILL BE RELEASED MARCH 18 2003
HOUSTON December 19 2002-ADV Films today announced a March 18 2003 release date for
Super Duper Sumos: Absolutely Flabulous the second volume of the hit DIC Entertainment animated series. The title will be available on both DVD and VHS.
The zany series was a huge hit on the BBC (U.K.) and is currently airing on Nickelodeon in the U.S. drawing a 3.38 market share among boys ages six to 11. Audiences are captivated by the three large sumo wrestlers who lead the show with the large fellows? bewilderment at the modern world matched only by their enthusiasm for combating wrongdoers.
The Story: The Super Duper Sumos-Booma Kimo and Mooma-are back to stop Ms. Mister and her Bad Inc. monsters from destroying Generic City. Cousin Prima lends a helping hand and offers timely suggestions. Just don?t call her ?kiddo? and watch out when she operates construction machinery!
And times are tough. Construction crews attempt to tear down the sumos? apartment and build a new headquarters for Bad Inc. Pleasure cruise ships disappear around the world and the sumos and Prima resort to a bathysphere dive snorkeling and more to unravel the mystery. A glass figurine sculpted in the image of Prima leads the sumos to Dr. Stinger?s laboratory and inadvertently inspires the mad scientist to create a monster. A relaxing camping trip proves too close to nature when toxic waste from a Bad Inc. plant changes peaceable creatures into monsters. Then a killer dust ball throws lint into the sumos? search for their stolen yaks. What?s a sumo to do?
Super Duper Sumos: Absolutely Flabulous (SRP $14.98 DVD $12.98 VHS) is an English-language release including five complete episodes: ?Eviction Conviction? ?Beach Blanket Sumo? ?Handle With Care? ?Rest Area 51? and ?Car Yak?d.? Includes ADV Previews.
