Re: Woody collection #2 is coming!
All ready through the first disc, and this is another fine release, I applaud Universal for filling out another well rounded set, and look forward to volume #3, the marketing for this has been very good not great but the fact mentioned as it being placed in new release at Best Buy, well they have done some exclusives with Universal in the past, so maybe that is part of the deal. As a matter of fact in the place I shop, Military Exchange it was treated the same, its in the new releases, and what was not in that group was not with children’s programming, or TV on DVD , but Box Sets!
Now I have to ask why is this in the TV section, why is it that if any animation that is not either LTGC or the Popeye sets as of late get treated as an inferior medium, these are theatrical shorts, I know that some of the bonus material is from the TV show, and that is the way that most people will remember it. But in showing my age I can actually remember seeing these at the drive-in prior to watching some movie that I probably fell asleep to, in early childhood.
As for Sony/Columbia and the next Volume of Three Stooges, I am waiting to pick that up as well, but other that this forum, or possibly TCM or Maltin mentioning something about it on Reelz Channel. How much market push will it really get? Sony needs to work on getting the many PD crap sets out of the market as possible, especially if the material that is on them is not in the Public Domain to begin with.
And as for the Unedited, uncensored, material, that is my biggest problem with the Tom and Jerry sets. And the fact that they are my favorite characters really bothers me even more. Bravo to Universal, for showing the material as it was original presented, short warning in the beginning, then nuff said. For those on the fence about this release, my advice is jump for it.
