So because the medium has since improved from the days of 16mm film reels, we should just be thankful that these cartoons are available?
No.
There's no doubt whatsoever that these are some of the greatest animated short films around, but a DVD is more than it's content.
That's something that I'd expect forum members here to recognize more than anyone else. This DVD is nothing more than it's content.
In fact, it's content is not even presented in it's entirety... these are 7 minute short films to begin with (not that it should make a difference) but imagine how that percentage would translate into a full feature.
This is no different than a p&s dvd release or a framing error such as the Back To The Future set (it's actually much more significant than the latter)...
I'll justifiably use the word censorship because that's what this is - censored art. In the most litteral sense.
I've patiently waited almost 7 months to express myself, hoping WB would make right the situation by offering some sort of correction... at the very least an apology or understanding, some sort of acknowledgment that this was an oversight... but they don't even care to do that much. In fact, their curt thoughtless response almost makes it seem as though these edits were deliberate.
How does anything get improved if people like us don't speak up and raise our voices?
Again I say, we deserve much better.
We fund these ventures, we buy these products, we are a percentage of the market, our feedback should matter and should be bluntly stated.
