Warner Archive at Comic Con 2015: A Report (1 Viewer)

That is remarkably underwhelming.

Personally, I think it's pretty exciting. Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel with all of their associated cartoons are high on my list and so is Clue Club. I guess that these would come out has been expected for some time, but as much as plans tend to change in the DVD world, that we are so close is great I think. Of course, I would be even more excited with Tarzan, Gilligan, Quick Draw, Peter Potomus and perhaps a Banana Splits Complete Series, but I'll take what I can get.

I'd be glad to put the Banana Splits back together myself for nothing, as long as Warner would then release it. Just give me the files. At least it would get done.

 

[Randy Korstick]

Yes you are correct that was all the supporting cartoons that originally made up the Aquaman show but were not included with Aquaman. It was not a best of set.

I think that they released all of those cartoons. They originally were in a 2 DVD set then it was divided into 2 separate DVDs.

 

[Randy Korstick]

I think the underwhelming by some is coming from confusion reading the title of this thread. Some are thinking this is referring to Warner Archive in general, and thinking it pertains to all their releases and that this is all their announcements. But this thread is in reference to the Atom Ant animation panel and only pertains to Warner Archives upcoming animation releases. There may also be confusion with Warner Archive which generally only releases TV animation and WHV which releases theatrical animated shorts. Although Warner Archive has been rumored to be working on the Barney Bear shorts.

Been a looong time since I've seen those (in the early '80s as part of the syndicated Tom & Jerry Show, as I recall)!

 

[Randy Korstick]

Yeah its been that long since I have seen Barney Bear too. Before anyone gets too excited I should clarify that by rumored I mean on Facebook when asked about Barney Bear they reply: Nothing to report at this time. Which means they do control it because if it was with WHV they would reply with that answer as they always do on Looney Toons, Tom and Jerry and Tex Avery. It probably means that the Barney cartoons need some work since they haven't been around for awhile and never had a real home video release. So definitely no time line on them.

Great to see this program still releasing these series. I happen to be excited for the Clue Club release. I think we may have most of the Scooby-Doo derivatives/knockoffs released now, which I happen to love.

I devoured them as an 80s kid watching them on USA's Cartoon Express. (Speed Buggy, Jabberjaw, Clue Club, etc.)

I've never seen Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel but I've enjoyed checking out other 60s toons I didn't see growing up so I'm interested on that level as well.

I'm looking forward to purchasing the complete series of Filmation's Tarzan on DVD; I hope they are released on pressed discs rather than DVD-R.

My Guess is that they will be pressed discs since this is a pretty popular title. Clue Club that was just released is pressed discs so you would think Tarzan will be.
