With regard to further Looney Tunes sets, there are two points worth considering: 1) the short time between the second and third sets was because they had already started working on the third volume before the second was even released. Going into the third volume, the word was that the fourth...

While there were a few titles announced after you posted this, I would like to point out that we got two multi-disc TV series (in addition to a few movies). These titles were announced with June release dates (when we were originally told that there would be more titles in May). The...

Personally, I'm still hoping to get at least one Fred Astaire musical, since May is his 125th birthday (but I'd be happy to get at least one of his films from WAC this year). Even if we don't get an Astaire film in May, I'm hoping that a musical is coming (specifically from the Golden Age of...

Given that April 17 is MGM's 100th anniversary, I expect WAC's April slate to be all MGM films, much like they had an all Warner slate last April for Warner's 100th (at least, I have some recollection that George Feltenstein had indicated at one point that he wanted to celebrate MGM's 100th)...

While I haven't really been listening to the podcasts (so take what I say with a grain of salt), I could have sworn I read in somebody's summary on the other forum that George said there would be more movies announced for March. Was I surprised to hear that? Certainly. With the 10 film...

Well, I'm certainly waiting and hoping for Three Little Words to come soon. I'm almost certain that, since MGM's 100th is April 17, April's release slate will be all MGM films (but hopefully Three Little Words comes out much sooner than that). I may be one of the few people hoping for it, but...

WAC has been having some unspecified production problems the last few months that have delayed a number of their releases by about a month. Some of the titles they released yesterday were originally announced as being September releases (that ended up getting delayed), and there are a few...

It seems like it should be any day now. Most would have guessed last week, but I think there may have been some mention of announcing both November and December titles soon. I would expect that to be the reason for the delay, as it is harder sometimes to confirm titles that are slightly...

I could have sworn that it was mentioned in one of the podcasts from the last few months that there will be December releases this year. At this point, the big question is going to be how many. From my own observations, WAC has (since April) changed up how they are releasing everything. It...

Still, I'll go on record as wanting to give Dance Fools Dance a shot (in the hopes that Dancing Lady will also come soon) and I look forward to the second volume of Looney Tunes!

To be honest, I'm not as surprised as others are about the lack of horror titles. Quite frankly, I kind of expected that. I've been watching, and, for the most part, WAC has (since April) been pretty consistently releasing everything on the last Tuesday of the month (which, for October, falls...

Long rumored to be coming from Criterion

I think that you're thinking of Dancing Lady from 1933, not Dance Fools Dance, which is what was announced.

WAC announcements on FB! So far, we've got Before Night Falls (2000), Cats Don't Dance (1997), Christopher Strong (1933), Palmetto (1998), Saratoga (1937) and Westward The Women (1951)!

As for my opinion of this group of titles, I'm thrilled to see The Long, Long Trailer finally coming, and I'm also glad to see more Clark Gable finally coming (especially in time for his/my birthday)! It's up in the air yet whether I might try Our Dancing Daughters or not, but I'm glad to see...

With all due respect, I don't think that listing for Captain Blood is legitimate (yet). It was noted that the page said "Warner Home Video." That's the retail arm of Warner Brothers (as opposed to WAC, which is their online-only MOD division). Warner Home Video hasn't debuted any catalog...

I seriously, seriously doubt that the situation is what you're making it out to be. I think the more likely reason is that WAC hasn't grown enough to tackle those films yet. When discussing the possibility of WAC doing 4K (not on this podcast, but on a previous one), George had stated that...

Exactly! To further emphasize things, George Feltenstein has mentioned on at least one podcast appearance a few months back that his WAC staff is about 10-15% the size of what it was before (possibly down to about four people or something like that). Given that that was referenced in a podcast...

In general, I'm going to go with those saying not to worry yet. I mean, I feel like its been long enough that some here have forgotten what "normal" is for WAC. Like several others have mentioned, for most of WAC's history, they would announce the titles the month before they are released...

Are you sure? I saw those too, but I question if those weren't a joke or something. I mean, people didn't really latch onto that "news" like they normally would, and that other forum hasn't had any news story declaring them as such (nor has anywhere else that I know of, including here, which...

Since we're posting wishlists again while we await the next batch of announcements, I'll throw mine in again as well (all of them I am hoping for on Blu-ray, since I get the general impression that where 4K UHD is concerned, if it's not on Blu-ray then I can forget about UHD happening): EVERY...

I don't think The Bishop's Wife being OOP has anything to do with Warner's agreement with the Goldwyn estate. I think a lot of it (if not everything) has to do with the supply chain issues caused by the pandemic. I mean, let's face it. WAC hasn't reissued any titles that made their blu-ray...

Given that it seems like we *should* be getting new WAC announcements this week, I just wanted to ask you a couple questions that have been on my mind this morning, Ron 1) Were you given any reason(s) why we didn't get the announcements/press releases via social media last month (at least...

While there is probably some truth to the idea that the films are being restored for preservation and archival purposes, that is NOT the entire situation. What I said was that they were too expensive to restore TO GO TO RETAIL (as in, be available on the shelves at the actual brick and mortar...

Wow, does the subject of 4K and WAC bring up a lot of confusion around here! So many seem to keep trying desperately to miss what George Feltenstein himself has been cited as saying on a podcast: the costs of doing UHD are four times what they are for Blu-ray (and that cost is WAAAAAY beyond...

I myself haven't listened to any of George Feltenstein's podcast appearances since he returned to the studio (and, since I am getting this information secondhand at least, take it with a grain of salt), but the subject of WAC and 4K has apparently come up a few times, and he has shot the idea...

I personally haven't had the chance to listen to any of the recent podcasts that George Feltenstein has been on recently, but is the podcast being referred to one that was actually recorded six months ago, or was it more recently recorded to talk ABOUT the titles that were released that long...

Using Thin Man as an example doesn't really help your case. In case you have forgotten, the first film in the series came out in July 2019, and we didn't see any of the sequels until January 2021 at the earliest (I know the pandemic probably affected that time frame some, but the point remains...

For what the question is worth, why would there be anything yet? From what I have heard (from somebody on the other forum claiming to be in contact with George Feltenstein), George had all of 2021's releases scheduled out before he left in February (but nothing beyond December 2021). Broadway...

I never said they haven't released anything in December ever. I just said they typically don't. If you all want to get technical, they also had December releases in 2018 as well. The 2018 releases were a result of a Blu-ray replication plant shutting down (they admitted as much on 2019's...
