‘Spaceballs’ Animated Series, ‘Force: Five’ Available on Disc in MVD Rewind Collection

Spaceballs: The Totally Warmed Animated Adventures! and the actioner Force: Five are available on disc in the MVD Rewind Collection from MVD Entertainment Group.

Spaceballs: The Totally Warmed Animated Adventures!, available on DVD, is based on Mel Brooks’ 1987 Star Wars spoof Spaceballs. It follows the adventures of Yogurt, President Skroob, Lone Starr, Barf, Princess Vespa and the dastardly, dorky Dark Helmet. Directed and voiced by Mel Brooks and featuring voices from the film’s original stars Daphna Zuniga and Joan Rivers, the series pokes fun at everything from pop culture and politics to megahit movies and more. The release includes all 13 episodes plus the two-part pilot episode. Bonus materials include the Spaceballs (1987) original theatrical trailer; the Spaceballs 2 (2027) teaser trailer; a collectible mini-poster; and a limited edition slipcover.

In Force: Five, available on Blu-ray Disc, a powerful and dangerous cult, hidden on a remote island fortress, has brainwashed the daughter of a U.S. senator. With local authorities powerless and time running out, the government turns to a highly specialized team of martial arts experts known as “Force: Five.” Led by seasoned agent Jim Martin, the team includes five elite fighters, each with unique combat skills — from unarmed street-fighting and karate to high-impact kickboxing. Their mission: infiltrate the island compound, uncover the secrets of the cult’s charismatic and manipulative leader, and rescue the senator’s daughter before she becomes permanently indoctrinated — or worse. From writer-director Robert Clouse, the auteur of Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon and Jackie Chan’s The Big Brawl, the film features a diverse cast of martial arts legends, including Joe Lewis (Bloodfight 2: The Deathcage), Bong Soo Han (Kill the Golden Goose), Sonny Barnes (Black Belt Jones), Benny “The Jet” Urquidez (Dragons Forever) and Richard Norton (Mad Max: Fury Road), as well as Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm Street). Bonus materials include an archival interview with actor Joe Lewis; an archival interview with Benny Urquidez; an archival “Benny Urquidez Fight” featurette; the original theatrical trailer; a collectible mini-poster; and a limited edition slipcover.

‘Merrily We Roll Along’ Available Digitally Jan. 20, on Disc March 3

Sony Pictures Classics’ musical Merrily We Roll Along will be released through digital retailers Jan. 20, and on Blu-ray Disc and DVD March 3.

The film has earned $2.5 million at the domestic box office.

Spanning two decades, Merrily We Roll Along traces the complex, often heartbreaking unravelling of a once-unbreakable friendship between composer Franklin Shepard (Jonathan Groff) and his two closest friends — playwright-lyricist Charley (Daniel Radcliffe) and writer Mary (Lindsay Mendez). But this is no ordinary story. Told in reverse, the film winds backwards through time, beginning in fractured adulthood and journeying back to the bright-eyed optimism of youth — when everything still seemed possible.

Long considered a cult classic ahead of its time, Merrily We Roll Along features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most personal and piercing songs. In a bold new cinematic interpretation of the Tony Award-winning musical, the film invites audiences into the heart of the story — not just watching it unfold but inhabiting it. Shot with intimacy and immediacy, it places viewers on stage and inside the action.
