That's what I've been wondering for years now. I'm happy the Platinums are doing well enough (for the time being) to restore many more films for the series, but there's no way serious collectors are going to pick up those new films in exchange for 50% double dips. Especially when that HD-targeted series has an even lesser chance of finishing the catalog than the collector-targeted Goldens.Kevin Martinez said:Warner apparently can't justify restoring 60 cartoons a year anymore (so why not release smaller collections of new-to-DVD's?)
Quoted for truth! I loyally bought all the Golden Collections as soon as they were released, and even continued to buy the single discs that contained all new-to-DVD shorts. But now that they've combined the double-dips and new-to-DVD releases, I am out. I refuse to double-dip. Period. Which is rather unfortunate, because I was perfectly willing to keep paying for their overpriced releases if it meant getting all the shorts, so it's a loss on both sides...Traveling Matt said:There's no way serious collectors are going to pick up those new films in exchange for 50% double dips.

Thanks for that Matt - glad to hear that the UPA set was (rightly) successful for Sony.
My understanding is that Avery consistently depicted wolves in a stereotypical and less than flattering light.Timothy E said:Warner Brothers released the Tex Avery set on DVD in France years ago. Is the same person in the legal department who has been holding up the Tom & Jerry cartoons also preventing the Tex Avery set from being released? And the Censored 11 set that was ready for release years ago?
