Spider-Man Unlimited is a short lived animated series featuring the Marvel comic book superhero Spider-Man, the series was released in 1999 and although it had fair ratings, it was overshadowed by the main ratings grabber at the time, Pokémon, and cancelled after only a few episodes were aired. Fox later resumed airing the show, but aired only the first 13 episodes, cutting the show off on a cliffhanger. Several scripts written for Season 2, including the conclusion of the cliffhanger, were never produced.
As of today, as with the majority of the other Disney-acquired Marvel Comics animated series, there are no plans to release the show to DVD.
