Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
Well, it has been announced. The Looney Tunes Volume 6 is the final set in the series. Check it out here:
The Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes Comedy Hour DVD news: Announcement for Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 | TVShowsOnDVD.com
What a total bummer! There are still many, many, many shorts that are my favorites that are not going to be released in this series. I'm almost sorry that I even started getting these. What a let down.
The more I think about this, the more upset I'm getting. This really sucks out loud.

Halt. Stop. Parada.
I just added this update to the story:

UPDATE: Don't be upset, after all. We've learned that Warner is planning to continue Looney Toons releases on home video, but is not ready to share their plans at this time. You'll still see Bugs and his pals on DVD in 2009, just not under the "Golden Collection" labels. So, no worries!

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
WHEW! Thanks Dave.
Well, at least that's something. There are several shorts that are my absolute favorites that have yet to make an appearance on DVD and I was really upset that this might be the end of all Looney Tunes on DVD.

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
Nawww...I never expected them to kill the cash cow. There will always be Looney Tunes on DVD (and/or Blu-ray).
It's just that I like the way these are currently released, giving us a great variety with some new treasures on every disc of every release, and always a surprise around the corner. It will be sad (for me) to see these transition to something that is likely to be more "organized". I know lots of people out there want releases with "just Foghorn" or "just Road Runner" or whatever, but that is NOT my preferred method of watching these. I like them all mixed up, just like I saw them on TV as a kid.

My only concern would be if the new sets contain stuff that has already been released in the Golden Collections. If so, I have a feeeling that this wil make alot of people upset that they are buying sets that have lots of overlap. |

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
I will be 100% fine with them continuing the LT releases under a name other than Golden Collection on one condition: Absolutely no double dipping! I paid a premium price for the collections so far because they have been superb quality and, at least I thought, would be a way to get all the shorts without any overlap. If they start releasing smaller collections with half already released / half never before on DVD styles, then I'm out. As long as releases are either 100% already available or 100% new to DVD (assuming at least occasional releases of the latter), then I'm in for whatever they throw at us.

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
what hopefully this means is that future releases will have more cartoons without all the bonus features.

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
Is it possible that they will switch the heading from "Golden" collection to "Silver" as they reference a different era, the second era so to speak?

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
I think they just don't want to release "Vol. 7" of something, because sales decline when they do Volume numbers. Maybe they'll release the rest of the shorts in "year" sets...

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
I'm fine with however they release them or title them as long as there is no double dipping. I agree that the new sets need to be 100% new to DVD shorts.

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End
I agree with the above posts. I'm okay with no more Golden Collections, as long the next generation releases DO NOT overlap content on the previous sets. I second the notion that a lot of people who have collected all the previous sets will be very annoyed if Warner goes in that direction.
That being said, reading about the inclusion of ROCKET BYE BABY on Volume 6 made my day!
