Okay, okay. (But still, in case I missed it earlier, how did everyone originally weigh in on that Wizard of Oz ad? That was one bizarre piece o' work for the studio, and reading between the lines, it's still kind of an elephant in the room.)Ronald Epstein said:Yes, please. Let's stick to the topic at hand and remain respectful.
That's truly unfortunate.JoHud said:The recent Jerry Beck interview on the Stu's show was very pessimistic in regards of getting these released. Apparently WHV is well aware of the issue, however he states that a "higher power" in the company is blocking the release of the two cartoons regardless of WHV's willingness to release them. He even went so far to say that they won't even be allowed to release them through the Warner Archive. It looks like a The Devils situation here in regards to a title mysteriously being blocked from release by someone of significant influence in or affiliated with the company. He also stated the pending C11 set is officially dead, which should surprise no one.
Thanks, Ron, and pass along that we appreciate them taking our questions seriously and responding to them. Most big corporations would not do that.Ronald Epstein said:Just to give all of you an update...
Received a reply from Warner Bros. yesterday morning essentially saying that they were having a meeting to discuss the questions. I am hoping to hear something back from shortly.

That's because, typically, the people who actually institute such policy haven't the courage to take the heat themselves. How frustrating it must be, a dedicated film aficionado and company executive working for a company that continues to censor the truth, by further perpetuating this ever-deepening, politically-correct denial about our collective past. Kinda like the textbook publishers in Texas. Kudos to those who are trying to free these works of art from the draconian prison they are in, and shame on those who keep them behind the proverbial bars.steevo54 said:I agree that various "spokesmen" are mere messengers for the company.
