Well, what's weird is that in the 2nd Kubrick box, Warner remastered all of their films except for Eyes Wide Shut. Columbia's SE used the same old transfer as the old DVD they issued. Well, the war room scenes should have a lot of echo in the rear speakers. The airplane scenes should have...

Also, not only is the new DVD 16x9 1.66:1... It'll be from the new restoration, based on Stanley Kubrick's own fine-grain positive made from the negative (basically, an excellent quality print made to resemble the negative as closely as possible). Even the previous "special edition" used an...

:eek: I'm pre-ordering this ASAP. I would buy it just for the 60 main cartoons, but the extras and details on remastering make it even sweeter. Unlike the first set, some of these reconstructed Blue Ribbon cartoons will be seen uncut for the first time ever. I'm excited about seeing the...

I think it would be a great idea... especially since the Disney set was such a big success. Here's my idea for the set: Disc 1 - For Civilian Use Meet John Doughboy Rookie Revue Conrad the Sailor Wacky Blackouts The Draft Horse The Ducktators Ding Dog Daddy Confusions of a Nutzy...

A little obscure, but the most praised documentary on silent film: Kevin Brownlow's and David Gill's 13 part miniseries. "Hollywood" Disc 1: Part 1: The Pioneers (intro to series) Part 2: In the Beginning (orgin of Hollywood) Part 3: Single Beds and Double Standards (scandals and...

Despite "Confederate Honey" being a Warner cartoon, Warner doesn't stick to same-studio "extras" "Hyde and Hare" was included on the Jekyll & Hyde double feature (1932 Paramount and 1941 MGM versions) DVD. "Acrobatty Bunny" was included with A Night in Casablanca (originally released through...

Here's the specs: The movie will have the original mono (DD 1.0) and a new DD 5.1 remix. Rudy Behlmer (also did commentaries for Criterion's Notorious, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and Casablanca: SE), and the video transfer will be a brand new Ultra-Resolution one (like Singin' in the Rain...

It's whitens your teeth, has half the fat of the leading brand, and even comes with its own sproogle.

There's considerably less T&J cartoons than Warner cartoons, so Warner probably has to arrange them differently. There are 160 classic 1940-1967 Tom & Jerry cartoons. There's 105 Hanna-Barbera classics, 13 by Gene Dietch, and 32 by Chuck Jones. All 160 will fit evenly on 4 2-disc sets...

There's some added stuff for home video rights... MGM currently has DVD rights to a lot of CanalPlus, Carlton, Polygram, and ABC Films titles. I agree that "The Hobbit" is the main reason why Warner wants MGM. They've made enough from the LOTR films and will make enough from The Hobbit to...

I think they would have been the best widescreen cartoons. After seeing how well 2.35:1 widescreen worked in the Back in Action movie, I wouldn't have been surprised if Jones, Freleng, and McKimson would have excelled in widescreen animation. Actually, if Warner switched to CinemaScope for...

Key: Bold: On DVD (out of print releases with *) Italic: Coming soon to DVD Underlined: On DVD from public domain companies. Red: Owned by Warner Bros. Blue: Owned by Disney Olive: Personal ownership/no real owner Green: Owned by Columbia Purple: Owned by Paramount (from Republic). Light blue...

This video is proof that there isn't life after drama club for everyone. It would be funny to do a parody of it using clips from Looney Tunes... showing kids bonking each other on the head with mallets, being electricuted, hair catching on fire, dressing up as indians, being blown up by TNT...

I would have just promoted it.

Well, there's nothing certain for what they will put on the release, but a 4-disc release isn't unlikely. The film will probably take up two of the discs. Given Warner's past efforts, the film will likely have the original 1.0 mono, the 5.1 remix, commentaries (rumored that Olivia DeHaviland...

Universal is planning a 6-disc set with all 5 Paramount Marx Bros. films (plus a bonus disc), a 5-film set of W.C. Fields films, and 3 more Monster Legacy sets (Creature, Invisible Man, The Mummy collections). Monster Legacy Wave Two: http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=12099...

From The Digital Bits: We're hearing new reports about a possible 4-disc Gone with the Wind: 65th Anniversary Special Edition that's in the works at Warner Bros. Word is that the title has been announced already for release in Germany on 11/5. We DO know that such a title had been planned as...

Other than a few public domain DVD's with Doggone Tired and Jerky Turkey... no. However, rumor has it... Warner will do Tex Avery DVD's after Tom & Jerry. Considering how fast they're releasing animation sets now, it shouldn't be a long wait.

The hoedown from "Hillbilly Hare" is simply the greatest song from the LT/MM cartoons. Not to mention it's one of the funniest cartoons ever made...

Yes, Ace Ventura was shot open matte, so the fullscreen DVD doesn't suffer too much... But besides the aspect ratio problem, it's a very old DVD.

I think Warner has considered the possibility of doing one... the last Home Theater Forum-Warner Home Video chat mentioned this. It would be a good chance to remaster the film (1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen), add a commentary (Tom Shadyac and Jim Carrey, likely), and perhaps some deleted scenes...

WOW. All 60 are worth the price, but I'm extremely happy to see the Clampett cartoons and You Ought To Be In Pictures.

Well, Warner is technically following cheap prices for the LT sets. Warner had to restore and remaster 56 cartoons specifically for use on DVD. Also, the production of the commentaries, featurettes, and the other features cost a lot to produce, likely. The R&B sets use masters made by Universal...

The Tomorrowland set REALLY should be purchased ASAP by those who picked up any of the other WDT's. It's worth it if just for "Mars and Beyond" and the EPCOT film. The Ray Bradbury interview is excellent, too.

Not only is the cover art cool, it's great to know that it's a 6-disc set.

Since North American DVD was taking forever for my Disney Treasures (despite getting On the Front Lines a day early), I cancelled the rest of my order and picked up Tomorrow Land, The Chronological Donald, and Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol. II at Wal-Mart for $24 each. Still cheaper than...

Even if Anchor Bay does a new Life of Brian DVD, it likely will not reflect the director's color timing on the Criterion disc. When Anchor Bay did their Divimax Time Bandits, they neglected to retain Terry Gilliam's color timing from the original AB and Criterion DVD's. Sure, it's clearer and...

All 4 Walt Disney Treasures, Around the World in 80 Days: 2-disc SE, and Sunrise. I'm still waiting on 3 WDT's (I only have On the Front Lines so far), but I have plenty to watch, still.

I'm waiting for "Baby Fritz the Cat" which has supporting cartoons with Baby Mr. Natural. :D That would go well with the tykes.

I think it's been said on the Animation Show forums that the next set will be mostly older cartoons. Combine that with Warner saying that they plan to put even more cartoons and more extras on the 2nd set than the first... I think GC 2 will out-do the first. Oh yeah... and good riddance to...

I'm helping my father prepare his old record collection for auction... while I was taking inventory, I found a vintage 78rpm record with Mel Blanc singing Toot Toot Tootsie and I've Got A Bunch of Lovely Coconuts. Does anyone know if this is a rare item or know any information on it? I'm...

The new "Ultimate Video Collection" DVD has plenty of upgrades to justify the repurchase... - All videos remastered (the Image DVD added edge enhancement to sharpen the image. It's gone on the UVC) - New 5.1 mixes (Image's DVD had only DD 2.0 stereo) as well as the original stereo album...

Double dipping isn't as bad as long as it's for a good reason. It's more than justified to get new editions of Casablanca and Gone with the Wind (which is coming later in the year, I think) since the original DVD's were 1997 discs with very few features. A 6 or 7 year gap between releases, a...

Have you ever been to the HTF? The HTF is possibly the reason why Warner switched to dual format releasing (widescreen and fullscreen), got Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory re-issued in matted widescreen, etc. Warner even admits to looking around at the threads on the site, probably to...

:cool: From DavisDVD (www.davisDVD.com) The greatest film of the 1990's is finally getting a much-deserved special edition reissue on August 17th. Goodfellas: Special Edition will sport a brand new 1.85 anamorphic transfer along with a Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Bonus materials on the two-disc...

Well, I've already pre-ordered the Walt Disney Treasures sets and Around the World in Eighty Days (one of my favorites)... and I'm holding off on the Marx Bros. set until later in the year to make room for other priorities (as a contrast, a set of the Paramount Marx films from Universal would...

I pre-ordered the 4 Walt Disney Treasures and Around the World in 80 Days: 2-Disc Special Edition for May 18th. I picked up Kill Bill Vol. 1 (which is a GREAT movie!) and a cheapo PD set of Buster Keaton/Charlie Chaplin films. The quality is awful (2.7-3.5mbs avg!!!) and they used excellent...

So far, it's the Behind the Scenes set. By the way, for those looking for a deal... I was able to get all 4 volumes in the next WDT wave for $80 at North American DVD (http://www.cbsits.com/northamericandvd/)

The new Winsor McCay DVD is from Milestone Film & Video, distributed by Image. Milestone really deserves a lot of recognition, despite being a little obscure... (By the way, their DVD of "The Cameraman's Revenge" and other Starewicz shorts is terrific) Also, it has been mentioned before, but...
