This thread reminded me of some quick math I did when the Bugs Bunny 80th anniversary BD was announced, but I forgot to share it.
The Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVDs contained 60 cartoons each, and they were released one volume per year. There are pretty much exactly 1,000 LT/MM cartoons...
Lol. The Golden Collections except Volume 1 were remastered in HD and used on the Platinum Collections. The inexpensive cost of porting those same files over is a large part of why the Platinums happened in the first place.
If these are fully restored and pick up where the Golden Collection DVDs left off, without double dips but including whatever premiered on the Platinum Blu-rays, this could potentially be very exciting for collectors.
As David indicates, there are many cartoons that never made it from the Goldens to the Platinums, but if you're looking for a good HD representation of the best of them, I'm sure you won't lose with the Platinums. I myself only have the Goldens, and I too am disappointed there has been no...
