G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero/Episodes

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero is an 95 episode American animated television series based on the successful toyline from Hasbro and the comic book series from Marvel Comics. The series had its beginnings with two five-part mini-series in 1983 and 1984, then became a regular series that ran in syndication from 1985 to 1986.

Ron Friedman created the G.I. Joe animated series for television, and wrote all four miniseries. G.I. Joe: The Movie was intended to be a feature film, but as noted subsequently was instead released direct-to-video because of production difficulties.

The series began airing on Cartoon Network's Toonami block "The Midnight Run" on November 4, 2002. Shortly after The Midnight Run's cancellation, G.I. Joe was moved to Cartoon Network's new Saturday night action block SVES in 2003.

In March 2009, Shout! Factory acquired the rights to re-release G.I. Joe on DVD in Region 1. They have subsequently released Season 1 in 3 volume sets. On July 22, 2009, they released G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero: Complete Collector's Set, a 17-disc boxset featuring all 95 episodes and extensive bonus features including archival Hasbro toy commercials and a collectible 60-page book. The second and final season was released on April 27, 2010.

G.I. Joe: The Movie
G.I. Joe: The Movie is a 1987 animated film spun off from the animated series G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, based on the original Hasbro toyline.[1] It was produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions and was animated in Japan by Toei Animation.

Created at the height of the G.I. Joe craze in the 1980s, G.I. Joe: The Movie was intended as a theatrical release to be closely followed by The Transformers: The Movie. However, the G.I. Joe film encountered unexpected production delays which allowed the Transformers feature to be released first. Due to the poor box office performances of the Transformers film and My Little Pony: The Movie, G.I. Joe: The Movie was instead released direct-to-video as well as aired on television in syndication, first in feature length format and later split into a five-part miniseries format as part of the show's syndication package.

Rhino Entertainment first released the film on DVD on June 20, 2000. Shout! Factory released a remastered special edition on DVD and Blu-ray on July 27, 2010, featuring audio commentary from story consultant (and series writer) Buzz Dixon, and a printable copy of the original screenplay.
