One of the greatest composers of all time; wrote outstanding scores for Chinatown, Alien, Boys from Brazil, and of course Looney Tunes: BIA. He will be sorely missed...:(

As a matter of fact, there was a significant amount of footage lost from "You're An Education" when it was re-released as a BR. According to the book "Frank Tashlin" by Roger Garcia --and I quote-- "NOTE: Several shots (including a caricature of Hugh Herbert) totaling 67 feet (approx. 45 seconds...

--Just some corrections on my previous post -- Tashlin's first daughter, Patricia Anne Tashlin, was born in 1938. Christopher Tashlin was born in November of 1967. I would say that Frank Tashlin was one of the loneliest and saddest of the Termite Terrace directors when he passed away. He...

Christopher Tashlin, Tashlin's second child, is alive and did work on the book "Frank Tashlin" released in 1994. He was born in the late 60's, so he was very young when his father died in 1972. Because of that, he might not be able to talk about Tashlin's personality, which is something that is...

Some of my interests include: Collecting DVDs (especially classic films) Fishing Golf Talk Radio (usually 770 WABC in NYC) Politics Music (mostly Classic Rock and film scores) Biking World War 2

If any Mammy cartoons are on this set, they will be un-cut. Warner Bros. is not in the habit of editing DVDs, especially recently. WB would catch hell from the Home Theater Forum if anything was edited or not properly presented. These cartoons will all be getting new transfers as well, so if...

Nice review, Thad. It's unfortunate to see that CH is up to their old tricks (like sending the volumes out of order :mad: ) - it's happened to me many times. I still haven’t received Vol. 11. Maybe I’ll have it by next year…:rolleyes:

Ahh yes - I remember now. According to Chuck Jones (during an interview with Peter Bogdanovich), in the late 60's Warner Bros. destroyed thousands of cells, backgrounds, character model sheets, and other vintage Termite Terrace material apparently because "they created a fire hazard and couldn't...

I hope that most if not all of the blue ribbon reissues on Vol. 2 are restored... When these cartoons were originally released, they were distributed to theaters all over the country – which is probably hundreds of prints. What happened to these prints? Were they sent back to the studio and...

Very nice selection of cartoons; I'm very happy about all of the pre-48's. Hopefully "Book Revue" and "Have You Got Any Castles" will be non-BR. I guess the only bad thing is that there's no "Censored 11" cartoons present. Hopefully the cover art is more inspired than Vol. 1. Can't wait to see...

I just purchased the DVD (Best of A&C, Vol. 1) a few weeks ago, and it is definitely worth picking up. Although there's basically no special features, the picture, audio, and the comedy content of these films is great.

That's what Jerry Beck has to say on the topic. Interpret what you will, but from what I gather, a Tex Avery box set might be here in the (near?) future...

I went to Sam's Club as soon as I got home this afternoon and picked up 3 of them, excluding "On the Frontlines", which I ordered from Amazon and, surprisingly, was at my doorstep when I got home :) The sets were $23.59 each at Sam's, and they had a large amount of each, including "Tomorrow...

I have pre-ordered "Frontlines" just to make sure that I get it; I'll be picking up the others at the store. Hopefully the "Tomorrowland" set hasn't been cancelled... I mean, it's been 6 months - what could possibly be wrong now?

Sogturtle, I think that as long as you get the film clips to Warners safely, they will take good care of them. I mean, the people that do the film transfers there have handled nitrate as old, if not older, than the ones that you have. The only problem is getting the clips there :confused:
