It is generally acknowledged that Tex Avery produced many of the funniest cartoons of the 40's and 50's for Warner Bros, MGM and Universal. We have all of his Universal titles on DVD now (admittedly, only four) and most of the Warner Bros. titles (but where is OF FOX AND HOUNDS?), There is a Droopy collection which covers a bunch of his MGM tittes. But where oh where are the astonishingly funny (and sometimes Oscar-nominated) MGM films such as BLITZ WOLF and KING SIZE CANARY and RED HOT RIDING HOOD and BAD LUCK BLACKIE and LITTLE RURAL RIDING HOOD? All of these and dozens more were release on laser disc but remain unreleased on DVD. If Warner Bros can't, after all these years of requests from many fans on Home Theater Forum and elsewhere, get these brilliant shorts onto a 2 to 4-disc set (sans the already released Droopy material) commercially, I certainly hope they can get them out via the Archive collection. This is a gigantic gap in the animation collection that Warner Bros. owns!
