Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 5 (1 Viewer)

[Corey]

More Looney Tunes...your wish is our command. In this 4-disc set are 60 of the most hysterical Looney Tunes ever created and over 5 hours of extra special features. Indeed, some have never before been on home video! Disc 1 celebrates a duo every bit as famous as thunder and lightning or beans and weenies: Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Termite Terrace provides peerless takes on Fairy Tales in Disc 2. Not to be outdone, Disc 3 showcases the hilarious talent of the great animator Robert Clampett. And the fowl deeds and rabbit-fire jokes wrap with Disc 4's hamboree jamboree of Porky Pig and more classics.

This is now the fourth thread on this topic. For those keeping score at home, the others are:

1. A list of speculated cartoons (started a year ago)
2. An inquiry as to when this would be announced (started a month ago)
3. Today's announcement which was unfortunately posted in the TV Shows subforum

For the record, Corey's information above comes from the good folks at TVShowsOnDVD.com

oh i don't keep up with them, so i wouldn't know.

 

[Richard M S]

It took 4 threads for me to finally see the anouncement. In any case, it is great news!

 

[TimJS]

This needs to be bumped so the people who go to the only correct forum to see this announcement can have it on the front page!

Some are drawing the wrong conclusion about where this thread belongs based upon the notion that more people have read the TeeVee announcement than this one. I only go to the TeeVee forum when I go to the Film and Documentary forum and can't find a thread about Animated Theatrical Short Films!

Bewitched Bunny, please.

My sentinments exactly. I have very little interest on TV on DVD, and only go there to check for these stray items. Is there some way that this thread can be seen from either forum?

 

[John Stell]

I wish the mods would make an official ruling on where these theatrical shorts should go. I THOUGHT I read a posting by one of the mods last year that these releases would go in the TV section, but I'm not about to look for it. With all the animation activity going on this year (Droopy, Popeye, Woody Woodpecker, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Walt Disney Treasures) as well as live action shorts such as the Stooges, maybe there should actually be a Theatrical Short forum. I certainly won't be posting any future news on such releases only to have people bitch and moan on where it's posted. Most, if not all of us, know these were originally released in theaters. Personally I don't care - wherever the mods want it posted I'll post it - it's their forum.

 

[Jeff Newcomb]

I'm not engaging in the debate again, but yes, the mods did make a ruling back when Popeye was announced that theatrical animated shorts would go in the "films" section.

 

[Eric Peterson]

When are we going to see more details on this release?

It seems odd that the prelease came out several weeks ago, yet there are still no details.

 

[John Stell]

Thanks, Jeff. Now we just have to get all these Looney Tunes, et al threads moved over and be done with it.

 

[John Stell]

That's some great stuff right there. The one title I really want is Porky's Last Stand, which also features Daffy Duck. It's the only Daffy short I don't have in some way, shape, or form. I don't think it's ever been released on home video. Hopefully it will find its way onto one of these sets some day.

 

[TravisR]

It wasn't too hard to find. It's about 1/3 of the way down the first page in the TV section. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=259211

 

[John Stell]

I was referring to a posting saying these should go in the TV section. You're link is referring to them going to the Theatrical section - something I would not have seen since - at the time - I had no interest in Popeye and wouldn't have followed the thread. However, Jeff settled the matter with his link.

I think news and conversations about classic cartoons that were made to be shown as features or with film features belong in this forum grouping.

The animated forum should really be more for more current animated and animae titles...which are a separate animal (no pun itended).

I usually look at this forum for all my "old movie" release needs.
