Actually anything that Warner has done in the past to celebrate their studio has not included any of the MGM, RKO, or Monogram titles and Universal hasn't either. Hondo is a good solid picture and deserves a Blu-ray transfer, but do as a celebration of John Wayne not Paramount. Really, Paramount didn't even release it to theatres as a re-issue and only obtained control 6 six years ago through a bid process with the Wayne Estate. In the poll for the next Blu from Paramount both Hatari and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was listed several times as wants.
Universal and Paramount should have gotten together and worked on some from of celebration to include the titles that Universal owns.
