Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid finally announced.
I'm ever so pleased by this announcement, as I've wanted Tiny Toons ever since I first started collectiong DVDs back in 2001.
I'm not really impressed by the Tiny Toons DVD cover art (I wish it looked closer to the style of the Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain DVD cover art), But I really shouldn't complain.
And I urge all the Tiny Toon fans out there to write to Warner Home Video about certain episodes being the longer versions (I've specified them in my sig).
Warner Home Video: Regarding Tiny Toon Adventures, the episode "The Looney Begining" MUST be the version that originally aired in prime-time on CBS with a longer version of Buster getting painted and Sweetie and Furball's audition. Also, the episode "The Return of Batduck" MUST be the original uncut version that was the primere episode of the Plucky Duck Show (and did NOT feature the regular Tiny Toon Adventures opening) and NOT the edited version that aired in Tiny Toon reruns.
Also, when and If you release Gremlins and Gremlins 2 on Blu-Ray, I'd like the unsold pilot to the proposed animated series "Gizmo and the Gremlins" to be included as an extra (if it really exists), along with in-depth documentaries ala "Unleash the Beast" on the Howling SE (another Joe Dante film), along with more deleted scenes and bloopers.
Also release Ralph Bakshi's "Hey Good Lookin" on DVD. And release "The Power Puff Girls Movie" in its original aspect ratio.
Paramount Home Video, Lionsgate, Ralph Bakshi and John W. Hyde: Release Terrytoons on DVD! Including Ralph Bakshi's 1987-1988 TV series "Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures". Also release the Betty Boop cartoons.

Re: Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid finally announced.
I sympathize. There are certain tv episodes and movies, I wanted the longer version as well. But try arguing that with a DVD/TV producer?

I've never seen Freakazoid, but I will be getting Tiny Toons. I wish they would finish up Animaniacs.

Weird, Something from Tiny Toons just popped into my head for some reason while I was getting ready for work and now here's the annoucement.

Re: Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid finally announced.
Can't wait for Tiny Toons. Always been a huge fan of that and Animaniacs.
I have to agree the cover art blows, but atleast it's finally coming. Can't say I dig the flipper fourth disc.. but eh.
Speaking of which, where's the final Volume of Animaniacs?? We're almsot done!

Re: Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid finally announced.
Still no love for Taz-Mania? I always thought that was the one that best captured the Looney Tunes flavor, despite (or because of) being the one that spent the least time talking about it, but it seems to be all but forgotten.

Re: Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid finally announced.
They might've canned the last Animaniacs set for "low sales". However, if that is the case, why would they be so eager to move on to the other, less marketable Speilberg shows?

Tiny Toons has a larger following than Animaniacs.. atleast I've always thought they did. But they only have one more Volume left, that's so silly to abandon it now!
I agree that Taz-Mania needs a release.

Re: Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid finally announced.
I also wish they'd finish off Pinky & The Brain.
With 35 episodes on the first collection, Tiny Toons would require two additional volumes to complete the series (I think there were about 100 episodes).

The only way in which you could consider Pinky & The Brain not finished is if you are talking about Animaniacs Volume 4. All 66 episodes made for the separate Pinky & The Brain series are out on DVD. The final 24 episodes of Animaniacs remain missing, but I don't think there was much P&TB among those episodes. So, other than a few shorts, your wish is already granted.
I'd also love Taz-Mania on DVD. Any episode with Bob is and always will be lots of fun. |

That era did slip my mind (or perhaps my unconscious mind blocked it out). But it is technically a different series, so it's not that they'd be continuing to release an already started series so much as offering a spin-off. That one is a long shot, as the ratings were horrible and WHV must be aware of the resentment by a large part of the fan base. Whatever they sold for P&TB releases, they can and would count on a lower number for PE&TB. Our odds for getting A! Vol 4 is much, much better (or even Wacko's Wish for that matter). |

Where's the Love for Freakazoid!
Why so little love for Freakazoid! in this thread?
Honestly, I’m much more excited at the prospect of a Freakazoid! release than one for Tiny Toon Adventures. To me, F! was the flat out funniest cartoon of the nineties – with so much humor that sailed over the head of the Sat AM kids that it left us WAAAAY TOO SOON!
What can you say about a series that has Bill Clinton, Barbara Streisand, Rush Limbaugh, Joan Rivers, Kate Smith, and Pinky and The Brain in ONE short cartoon? (“Freakazoid is History”)
Persons of note that actually performed voices in this series included Ed Asner, late night TV’s Craig Ferguson, Ben Stein, Ricardo Montalban, Stan Freeberg, and David Warner (Ra’s Al Ghul of Batman Animated). I’m certain I’m leaving some folks out.
There’s also a wicked piece of work by famed writer Paul Dini on “nerds”. And you will NEVER AGAIN hear the old “Theme from a Summer Place” (If you don’t recognize the name, you’ll know it when you hear it!) without thinking of “Relax-O-Vision”.
If we manage to get to the Second Season – and remember that REQUIRES OUR SUPPORT – we’ll see a regular role for Jonathan Harris of Lost in Space, and witness Freakazoid, Wacko Warner, and The Brain argue with Steven Spielbe | |
