These were never on 35mm were they?

 

[moviebuff75]

Yes. ABC First-Run.

 

[murrayThompson]

Great that means we will have some decent quality. What does it mean ABC first run?

 

[BobO'Link]

When they originally aired on ABC Prime Time in 1960-66.

The Man Called Flintstone was their only animated theatrical film, so what would the other one be, The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones?

 

[LeoA]

That was a made for tv movie.

 

[darkrock17]

That was a made for tv movie.

Everything before and after were either TV specials or direct to video. That TV movie makes more sense than anything recent.

Not necessarily. They can scan the most beautiful elements in existence, but if they clean them up too much with heavy DNR and compression, like they did with Scooby-Doo! Where Are You!, we're screwed. The DVDs will probably look better in that scenario.

Are you referring to last years 50th Anniversary collection? I didn't hear anything about the image quality issues

 

[Sam Favate]

Wow. This looks great.

 

[Jake Lipson]

I'll be curious what the price tag on it ends up being.

 

[TravisR]

I'll be curious what the price tag on it ends up being.

Even though there's alot more episodes than in the Batman animated set or the Scooby Doo set, I'm guessing it won't be THAT expensive because they'll price themselves out of people's price range. I'd guess it'll be between $150 and $200 MSRP.

 

[darkrock17]

I'll be curious what the price tag on it ends up being.

Probably $120-140

 

[Malcolm R]

The complete series on DVD was around $90 MSRP.

Probably $120-140

...so that's probably a good guess.

To bring up an old topic, will "A Man Called Flintstone" open with Wilma as the Columbia lady which was missing from the DVD. Maybe if there are questions at the Comic Con panel someone will ask.

I didn't know that it wasn't included on the DVD.

The DVD started like this I believe.

The DVD started like this I believe.

I haven't watched the DVD since it came out, so I never noticed that. When Cartoon Network aired throughout the 90's, was the Wilma/Columbia lady logo included at the beginning?

I am, yes. They crammed the episodes onto four BD-25s and applied tons of DNR, destroying the look of the original animation. The unmolested original HD transfers are on Amazon and iTunes and they look beautiful.
