Oh, I want those NOW!
OM effing G.
That and then hopefully a box with the complete Roadrunner&Coyote cartons is now on my list for Christmas.
I’ve been trying to find Duck Amuck for… well for ever.
WA-HOO!
Nice.
Just the other day I saw the one cartoon with Rocky (shhhyyuudd-up) and Elegant Mess (Bugs) and starting thinking, Geez, I never see these. Isn’t there some way to buy them?
Too cool.
And just yesterday I was saying to the GF, “I used to have some cartoons on video that I lost years ago, I need to do a search and see if I can find them on DVD.”
Thanks Euty! You’re now officially my favorite commie… er moderator. 
While I’m grateful as hell that Waarner’s finally decided to do this, but I wish they’d done this years ago when Chuck Jones was still alive so that we could listen to his commentary on the tunes. I’m also wondering if they’re going to be releasing the more controversial tunes.
There IS a God! (Or maybe it’s just Chuck being nice to us from the Great Beyond…)
What a year. I can’t wait.
I’m one of those who doesn’t have a DVD player. Time to pony up I guess.
Hey, those human sacrifices actually worked! Wish I could tell my brother.
Who knows? Jerry Beck’s final comment seems to say there’ll be more good things in store. Obviously, you have to get the more obvious ones out of the way first.
(Note: Warner Home Video will be releasing two different Looney DVDs on October 28. The “Golden Collection” will contain all the cartoons in the “Premiere Collection.” There will also be two sets of the mediocre, in my opinion, Internet shorts. Yeah…)
It seems the Mike Barrier commentaries will feature archival sound bites from Warner staffers. Other commentaries sound good too, like animation historian Jerry Beck (I finally saw what he looked like on the Spirited Away DVD-I didn’t realize he was so young!), Stan Freberg on Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears (which I believe he lent a voice to), and Greg Ford on his Blooper Bunny, one of the funnier of the 1990s cartoons. Not to mention Bugs’s two starring roles with Jack Carson, isolated music tracks of the great Stalling and Franklyn, some rare stuff (including a live action-animation pilot that never became a series due to a ABC-Warner falling out, and a Road Runner pilot that was presumed lost), and just great Looney Tunes in what appears to be the best they ever looked.
This could be the start of something big.
Euty, for the love of all things artistic, please tell me that these cartoons have not been edited in any way. Recent television broadcasts of the Warner Brothers cartoons have had the gunplay and other violent sequences snipped from them.
I want falling anvils, bundled sticks of dynamite, double barreled shotguns and all of the hilarious mayhem that accompanies them!
Both a Warner’s press release and Beck say that “each cartoon has been brilliantly restored and re-mastered to its original, uncut, anvil-dropping glory.”
Watch the skies…there just might be an anvil up there.
Woo
[glances upward]
Hoo!
wowzer
Oh, god. Wow. You mean I could have Bully for Bugs and Feed the Kitty and Duck Rabbit Duck and * Duck Dodgers in the 24th-and-a-Half Century* and and and?
I’m assuming What’s Opera, Doc? will be in it - it’s only in the National Film Registry, it must.
I won’t be seen for a week when this is released.
Hmmm. I see no mention of What’s Opera, Doc? or The Rabbit of Seville.
But the idea that they’d put out a DVD without these two is simply unthinkable. They just must have left them off the press release. Right? oh please, oh please, oh please
As if I’d let that stop me from buying the set, though. Oooh boy! Can’t wait!
I’m still waiting for the day they release all the old episodes of Heckle and Jeckle!
