It will be very disappointing if the studio fails to release those shorts unaltered, or at all, on this set.Originally Posted by Eastmancolor
Apparently two shorts are missing out of the collection, MOUSE CLEANING and CASANOVA CAT. MOUSE CLEANING was supposedly being "restored" when Volume 1 came out as they had found the original nitrate successive exposure camera negative (a rare find for a T&J short, as most of the original negs went up in a fire at the Eastman House years ago) yet it doesn't appear to be in Volume 2 either. The PC Police have struck again.
Also, here's hoping HIS MOUSE FRIDAY will not be altered as it was on the previous DVD edition.
Maybe the two missing shorts will be included in Volume 3, though that throws them out of sequence chronologically.
So far, no except that there are 42 cartoons in the set. The specifics are just insider info regarding the contents, so there is a chance the current disc information is incorrect until there is an official content listing. An example is the initially reported content listing of LT Platinum Collection #2 which differed from what ended up on disc.Traveling Matt said:Is there a content listing direct from WHV?
It's possible, though it really seems inappropriate. These two cartoons just have a 5-10 second gag of offensive material, while the "banned" episodes revolve around controversial subject matter which generally kept them off the air.Timothy E said:Is it possible that the missing shorts are being held back for a Blu ray release of the Looney Tunes Censored 11 (plus bonus shorts!) collection? I would not agree with this approach, but it might at least explain that the studio is making the shorts available and is not repeating their errors made in the Spotlight Collections.
This was suggested in the other thread on this release. I wouldn't agree with it either, and it would not be the way to go. The Censored 11 set should be for the Looney Tunes only. Extras should relate to the eleven films or other un-PC material from Termite Terrace. MGM has nothing to do with it. And it wouldn't excuse the omission of the two cartoons on this set anyway.Timothy E said:Is it possible that the missing shorts are being held back for a Blu ray release of the Looney Tunes Censored 11 (plus bonus shorts!) collection?
