Great review! Now I’m really looking forward to this collection to arrive this week.

Great review. Very informative.

 

[Wayne Klein]

Why would the Academy radio versions never be seen again? That’s an interesting statement but we don’t know this.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Mine is out for delivery.

Good detailed review but surely the audio section should have highlighted the fact that several of the shorts are in the original stereo sound with all the others being mono.

The first short to the last short on the disc seem to be DTS-HD 2.0. There is no perceptible variation in audio quality on any of the shorts. Has anyone else received a disc with mono audio? What are you hearing on the disc?

I got mine on Tuesday morning. The shorts look and sound Amazing to me. Thank you Warner Archive !

I haven’t received my copy yet but the Warner Archive press release said “AUDIO SPECS: DTS HD MA 2.0 Mono and 2.0 Stereo”.

I haven’t received my copy yet but the Warner Archive press release said “AUDIO SPECS: DTS HD MA 2.0 Mono and 2.0 Stereo”.

I have the DVD's of the scope versions and a few of them do have the stereo tracks.

Guess the Oscars just didn't care for Post-Nuke Fur and instead wanted Jim Backus.

I now have my copy. The first three shorts, Pet Peeve, Touche Pussy Cat and Southbound Duckling are in 2.0 stereo. All the others are 2.0 mono (mono spread across two channels). The left/right stereo separation spread is not terribly wide and may not be all that noticeable through speakers but it's obvious when listening through headphones
