I saw this posted on their Facebook page this morning. If it's like last month's batch, more announcements will come one at a time during the day.

How many times does it have to be repeated that complicated, time-consuming, expensive and sometimes insurmountable issues with film elements are frequently behind the non-appearance of those Big! Cinematically Significant! Box Office Smashes In Their Time! Ones I Really Really Want! films and...

I bet there weren't the expensive music clearance issues with this one that there appear to be with some of the other series.

Oh yes there is. Check it out on the HTF TV on DVD and Blu-ray forum.

I think it's actually James Mason's movie. And Miklos Rozsa's.

Oh please.

I wouldn't go by that. That appears to be the only online presence that claims to have new stock. Walmart lists it but says it's sold by this GRUV outfit. Amazon only lists used third-party sellers. Other well-known retailers say backordered or not available.

It was a standard retail Warner Home Video release, not from Warner Archive.

Yesterday's email from Amazon about my order for Looney Tunes Collectors Choice Volume 2 said the release date had been changed and that new delivery date was December 12. I haven't seen anything official from WAC on that. I know in previous years there'd been issues with Amazon vs. Warner, but...

They could just post a sale price instead of making it as complicated as doing your taxes.

Buddy's Beer Garden in HD tipped the scales for me. I'm serious!

The condition of the film elements would play a part in how “inexpensive” it would be. Do you have info on that?

It's amazing the myriad ways the "there should be more of what I want" concept can be formulated.

Classic Flix is releasing a DVD in April.

Jerry Beck said this one will have 20 cartoons.

Beanstalk Bunny and Catch As Cats Can are the two that Jerry Beck mentioned on the podcast.

Well, I'm absolutely nuts about the Looney Tunes Blu that's upcoming - not May, but soon, apparently. 1940s and 1950s titles, all new to Blu, some never on DVD. Volume 1 with more if sales justify, contents already being planned.

Is “Tim Millards great FB” supposed to mean Tim Millard's Facebook page? Because I don't see any recent posting about Top Hat on it.

It would take actual numbers, which will never be forthcoming, to establish that scenario as fact. How many copies of the first set sold vs. what WHV would have been satisfied with? What percentage of those that did sell were to customers who would care about two missing cartoons in a second...

Seems more likely that the first set didn't sell well enough, period. Cartoon fans think they're a big market but are really a drop in the bucket compared to the general audience. And like fans of older films in general their numbers continue to decline with age. Plus the shrinking physical...

As I heard it explained back then, the problem with releasing WB TV shows on disc was the expense of acquiring music rights. At the time of production, Warner's music publishing arm owned the music outright, but later sold off that part of the business. The broadcast rights (streaming has been...

The only time I've seen WAC discs, both DVD and Blu, with chapter stop menus are those that have been clones of out-of-print Warner Home Video releases.

I'm pretty certain Warner doesn't let anyone else handle their film elements, and I don't blame them. Other than Criterion, and the single Cinerama project, I don't myself know if Warner has agreed to have any other outside entities take on the working of their digital files into final...

Technicolor OCNs are black-and-white negatives, and were among those destroyed in the fire.

Well, he is the man who was in the wheelhouse steering the Golden Age of Looney Tunes and Tex Avery laserdisc sets and the Looney Tunes Golden Collection and Fleischer Popeye DVD sets into the marketplace, so I'd say he has a pretty good handle on that end.

The sky is falling.

I vote for Lady Be Good to make it on Blu because A) it's a great film, and B) it's become one of those Warner DVDs that's gone bad (see the sticky thread in the DVD forum here). I've had it since 2009 and it played perfectly in December 2021.

In previous podcasts George Feltenstein said he'd long ago learned his lesson about mentioning titles that were somewhere in the pipeline but with work not yet completed because such things were immediately greeted with a continuing avalanche of “When? When? When? Huh? When, c'mon when? Huh...

We need more Mary Treen on Blu.
