Before someone starts complaining that this needs to be in the TV section, it doesn’t. I was on a different forum, where they were discussing the upcoming T&J spotlight collection Vol 3, and found the trailer. Here is the problem. I love what WB is doing for classic animation. The LTGC collections are great, the work that was done on the Fleischer Superman’s on the UE was superior to anything before. The Popeye Collection Volume 1, wonderful job.
Here is the problem, the online trailer says 35 cartoons, that number is wrong is they are finishing the HB ones. Problem #2 this set is taken care of by the TV division, not the theatrical division and I think it is being seriously overlooked, I just wish that WB would be willing to put the same effort in to the animated gems that they have from MGM that they are willing to do to their other sets. Is it asking to much for us animated fans, I know that they did the replacement program, because I have my replacement disk. And I thank them for the Droopy set. What is disheartening is that, the MGM cartoons are still somewhat left to their own devices. If this next Vol. does not sale well, then we possibly won’t get to see the remaining T&J theatricals. Along with that we possibly will never get to see Barney Bear or Screwy Squirrel, and that is a shame, I truly hope these set sales well so that they are more willing to dip in to the MGM toons. Hopefully others feel the same as me. and want more MGM toons treated with the same care as the other toons the WB is releasing.
