I wouldn't like to buy this only to find out that the rest of the volumes won't be released.

If you don't buy it that might well be a self-fulfilling prophesy ...

Misterlime, do you know if the pink panther shorts will be definitely completed or this will depend on the sales of Vol. 1?

Yes, we've acquired the complete collection and will release volumes every 2 to 3 months. We will also include the previously produced extras by MGM on the later volumes.

Is it safe to assume that the other 2 previously announced Depatie-Freling cartoons are still coming? Which were: The Dogfather and Mister Jaws

Yes, the HD masters were just delivered. Many of our competitors would've dropped the package after the poor sales of Tijuana Toads and Roland and Rattfink, but we felt we owed it to the customers/collectors to complete the series, we went ahead with The Blue Racer and Sheriff Hoot Kloot, but waited a bit before taking on Misterjaw and Dogfather, since Misterjaw was 34 cartoons. The last 2 in the series should be out in March or April.

In hindsight we would've just released Ant and the Aardvark and The Inspector which were already remastered in HD and skipped Crazy Legs Crane, the only other one previously remastered in HD by MGM.

MisterLime AKA Scott, sorry to hear your'e "weighing anchor" (to use popular nautical term where I'm from) after all this time. Just wanted to echo (or re-echo) the sentiments of my fellow film lovers/ collectors here - and here's hoping the next person will be half as knowledgeable and helpful, not to mention patient - and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Godspeed.

Will certainly jump on this one !

Same title but not a remake. Completely different storyline. The new one was more of a take off on Jack and the Beanstalk. This film has nothing to do with that. Its a fantasy story along the lines of the Ray Harryhausen Sinbad movies.

 

[MisterLime]

THE WILD HEART release has been delayed indefinitely.

Updates will come from Kino Lorber Insider.

 

[Jobla]

The JACK THE GIANT KILLER two-fer is really something to sing about!

 

[mark brown]

is there any way to get this without the musical version?

 

[Dick]

It doesn't look as though you're paying extra for this, so why would you need it? Just ignore it.

 

[Dick]

Wasn't this remade recently?

Well, sort of. The JACK THE GIANT SLAYER name is similar but the plot line and characters are completely different, and to my mind, not nearly as good as in the 1961 edition. Granted, the original has some crude effects work, but Kerwin Mathews fits the role better than Jack Black (just as few actors would have worked as well as Black did in SCHOOL OF ROCK). And Judi Meredith was simply a babe, even as a witch. Plus there is the bonus of Torin Thatcher, bringing the film a little closer to being a 7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD rip while never quite being one. Nice Paul Sawtell / Bert Shefter score (available on CD).

BOTH are on the disc just choose wisely which version you wish to watch

 

[Carcosa]

Is THE MAGIC SWORD anywhere on the slate? I hope this hasn't been asked recently....it's hard keeping up.
