It seems that the pedals are off the streaming rose. With streaming services seeming to have peaked in subscribers and several are now in subscriber decline HBO and Netflix are both there and the other services growth has slowed to a trickle (Disney has slowed and the stock took a tumble)...

Do we know if there will be any additional releases from the HB library? A shout out to my friends here I havent posted lately and plan to be more active as im finished with school and back into my hobby. I have purchased all the HB blurays that have been released. The flintstones Jetsons...

Any album? As the good Gene WIlder once said "Wrong sir, wrong". Many albums I collect are not on these services. I was wanting to listen to the full Star Trek the Motion Picture soundtrack and these services didnt have the full album only one or two songs. This has happened to me in the past...

Isnt it possible that we will see very inexpensive region free players. These manufacturers will not be required to conform to any of the region locking if they choose not to.

The slowdown in Hanna Barbera started around the time of the release of the HB anniversary disc sets by regular Warners. The press release said many series never before released would be but that never happened. Has regular Warner video arm released HB programming from the moratorium so it can...

I thought patents can be renewed and if not renewed it opens up the market so anyone can make them? According to legals "No one else can manufacture or sell your invention unless you give permission. ... Depending on what you've invented, your patent will expire in either 14 or 20 years. When...

I am curious where your source is on these HB titles not selling? I keep up with many of the popular forums and podcasts and havent seen or heard anything on this. Have I missed something? I have noticed an overall warner archive slowdown on all titles live action and animation.

I also notice very few LCD and LED panel makers with rebadged tv in various companies and models. This happens throughout the CE world it seems. Also recently noticed new Verbatim drives, TEAC drives and Hitachi drives. Not concerned about not finding drives in the future I can still buy new...

I thought they said Porky Pig did well? I dont think they mentioned HB doing poorly if memory serves. But over the past few years they have released very little so how can they say it's not selling if the haven released any???

I'm buying more digitally. Still want to own but doesnt need to be physical. There is a market for this business as well and it's on the increase too.

Asus also continue to make Bluray drives for pcs.

I think we will see more HB releases. They are taking their sweet time though getting them out. All animation that is restored or worked on can be sold not only in a disc format but also any other physical or digital EST or Rental stream service as well. The HB releases have been good sellers...

I know what your saying, sales of discs are in decline but they are in the Multi Billions of dollars a year. I'm not a negative Nancy! That's a lot of sell thru and doesnt include EST sales which are also in the billions. Laser disc survived for years with sales in the millions. Collectors...

Hoping we see more HB in the next few months. Also hope to see another Looney Tunes set. Fingers crossed! Happy Halloween All! Sarah

As far as DVD dying I would hardly call an industry that makes Multi Billions in 2018 "dead" . Also digital download sales are on the increase. Still lots of people buying even though not as many as previously were. Also I have begun purchasing digital downloads of series it seems Warner...
