AT LEAST I ASKED POLITELY!!!Originally Posted by bigshot /t/320601/whv-announcement-looney-tunes-mouse-chronicles-chuck-jones-collection-blu-ray#post_3924234
I did a screening of cartoons at a local theater once and the menu of my disk listed the titles. I always program a few more shorts than I have time for, just in case I need them. I skipped past a couple of cartoons as I was talking, and after the screening was over, a guy came up to me and was very distressed. He was an odd character and never seemed to take his backpack off. He was genuinely upset that he hadn't gotten to see all the cartoons on the menu screen. He tried to get me to go back into the theater and show the cartoons I had skipped. It was as if he wouldn't be able to sleep at night unless he checked every film off the list. That's the kind of person Warner listens to when they put together these sets.
Seriously though, they can balance it out better. I think Warners did a great job on the Golden Collections since it kind of catered to everyone, even with the odd disc that was for me just painful to get through (Road Runner Cartoons). I'm hoping with this disc we get to the end of the Chuck Jones worship and get on with some of the cartoons that haven't been seen over and over again. Don't get me wrong, Jones is great and everything, it's time for more variety. I'd be more excited for this set if it had a second disc featuring a hodgepodge of other work. I'm guessing they've pretty much exhausted the characters they can spotlight so hopefully the next sets will be of more variety.
Or they'll just drop the whole thing since the market can't bear it. I wouldn't be surprised if it went that way frankly.
