Having all the Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes cartoons in chronological order is probably a classic cartoon lover's greatest desire. It could have been done if people would have been more flexible about it. For instance, they could have started with 1940 (if it were so imperative to have Bugs Bunny in every set) and included the 1930s cartoons as extras with each set (maybe 1930 with 1940, 1931 with 1941, etc.) It's not so neat and orderly, but it gets over the horror of having a "Buddy" set! But I'm wondering: How many discs would be required for a massive, complete, chronological set released all at once? I know there were about 1,000 cartoons. If the average length of a cartoon is 7 minutes, that's 7,000 minutes or about 116 hours. If they could jam 5 hours on a disc, that would be about 23 discs. If extras were included, it might be 25 discs. If they could sell that for $250 even I, with limited funds, would jump at it.
