**The Looney Tunes -Golden Collection** DVD is finally here! Oh what a wonderful day. The quality is reportedly excellent. But why no “What’s Opera, Doc?” or “I Love to Singa”.

Great set, and the extras look enticing. Still, the ones I’m most missing: **Duck! Rabbit, Duck!** - why only 2/3 of the hunting trilogy? **One Froggy Evening** - even a bigger omission than _Opera_, IMO. **Past Perfumance** - Pepe’s best film **Buccaneer Bunny** - my favorite Yosemite Sam **The Great Piggy Bank Robbery** - Clampett’s best Still, a ton to love, which means I’ll be picking it up soon, and looking forward to the next release, which promises plenty more goodies. ---

Warners has apparently got a lot of complains that some favorite Looney shorts haven’t been put on the disc, but restoring the cartoons takes a while. Warner plans to release one set every year, it seems, according to an MSN news article. The restoration is pretty nice! ---

Let’s see… 56 down, approx 960 to go (since we’re not going to release the SNAFU, Hook, and other stuff which was paid for by the US). Minus the ~150 which’ll never see light of day again. Leaves us with 810 At one release per year, and approx. 60 cartoons per release… It’ll only take 13.5 years! Lucky for my I’'ve already got most of 'em (and on DVD 🙂 ) ---

Picked this up today, and it’s an excellent set. Discerning SDMB members are reminded that what they really want is the 4-disc “Golden Collection,” which has 56 cartoons and a ton of extras. Avoid the inferior 2-disc “Premiere Collection,” which only has 28 cartoons and no extras. ---

Dear Santa: I’ve been a very good boy this year, but only want one thing for Christmas… ---

A sticker on the front and a black box on the back read “28 of the shorts in this collection are also included in the Looney Tunes Premiere Collection.” Since Jerry Beck says that if the Golden Collection sells well, there’ll be more to come, I’m doing my part to promote it in my sig.
