Has Mill Creek Entertainment Cracked The Film And Series Vaults Of Netflix?

Has Mill Creek Entertainment cracked the vaults of Netflix?   

Netflix is a company notorious for ignoring physical media releases of their film and series productions … as a result, their streaming library has become a treasure-trove for the Helper community.   If it streams on Netflix, it will be immediately stolen and available on Blu-ray (the format of choice these days) within hours on eBay, etsy.com or numerous html “Helper” sites!

What is a “Helper” you ask.  It is our term for bootlegger, thief, pirate, etc. and was coined during streaming wars when the legacy studios (and others — Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, etc.) seemed to turn a blind eye (cost of doing business) to their intellectual property being ripped off … so in stepped those who would “help” distribute the same to consumers in search of physical media copies of their favorite shows and movies.

So, has Mill Creek Entertainment cracked the vaults at Netflix?  That is the question that is on everyone’s mind with the physical media announcement of the three-disc Blu-ray SteelBook release of Masters of the Universe series collection on May 13.

This is a premium Netflix production in association with producer Kevin Smith.  Yes, that Kevin Smith of Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back fame (among others).   So, maybe the distribution of this animated series is more related to him, rather than Netflix … the jury is out on that for the moment.

In any case, this is welcomed news for fans of He-Man and Skeletor in that the 2021 two-part presentation of Masters of the Universe: Revelation and the 2024 follow-on, Masters of the Universe: Revolution, are being released in their entirety in this Blu-ray SteelBook set from Mill Creek Entertainment on May 13.

Maybe — hopefully — the next Netflix-related announcement from Mill Creek Entertainment will be Stranger Things: The Complete Series on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD.   

Stay tuned.
