Re: Woody collection #2 is coming!
I picked up the Woody Woodpecker and Friends Volume 2 yesterday. As with Volume 1, the transfers of most of the Woody cartoons are in great shape and some of the older non Woody cartoons are very acceptable. I was pleasantly surprised with the non-pc cartoons that were included. I guess I am old enough to remember some of them on TV in the late 50’s and enjoyed seeing them again. I can certainly say that WB could learn a lesson from Universal. The two Tom and Jerry cartoons they left off their last volume cannot come close to being as non-pc as three of the musical cartoons. I applaud Universal for releasing these cartoons, they are witty and entertaining and do not need to be locked up in some vault. By seeing them, they can also teach the wrongs that were populated in the past. I can only hope that “Scrub Me Mama, With a Boogie Beat” cannot be far behind. One other interesting note in that I found this at Best Buy where they had a dozen copies. I found it interesting that Sony had problems distributing the Three Stooges complete volumes and appear to be disappointed with the sales of the first volume and they did not even have one copy at a Best Buy. Could that have been the reason for the low sales?
