I'd love to know if there is more on it then the cartoons listed on the back image. I think it's $24.95. Anybody know anything about it?

yeah just go to bn.com and search for oscar winning classic cartoons in the dvd section

Wow, great detective work!

I poked around to see if I could find info, but no luck. I went to the Turner Classic Movies site (since they had info about last year's exclusive -- with the Oscar shorts). And I even checked Cartoon Network's site on a lark. Nothing.

Cameron

just wondering if anyone has picked this up today, and could list what is on the set

The Exister

According to the bn website:

The Academy Award-Winning Classics collection boasts 7 new-to-DVD cartoons. Each won an Oscar for Best Short Subject Cartoon, and they vary in length from 6 to 8 minutes. Included here are: Rudolf Ising’s “The Milky Way” (1941); Joseph Barbera and William Hanna’s “Quiet Please!” (’46); Barbera and Hanna’s “The Cat Concerto” (’47); Friz Freleng’s “Tweety Pie” (’48); Barbera and Hanna’s “Johann Mouse” (’53); Freleng’s “Birds Anonymous”(’58); and Freleng’s “Knighty Knight Bugs” (’59).

Seems kinda pricey for 7 'toons (especially considering I already have at least a few of them).

does that include online and Brick & Mortar?

I assume the prices on their titles in store are a little steep, but i might spring just to grab the toons.

Folks, try going into a local B&N and asking for it. That is what I did last year for the Academy Award-Winning Shorts disc. The cashier in the DVD and music department simply handed one over without asking me to buy anything. Your mileage may vary, of course.

The Exister

Will do - thanks for the heads-up!

Cameron

got it today

the guy just gave me a dvd when i asked...no charge....it comes in a cardboard sleeve....anybody made a cover yet?

i missed the shorts dvd last year...been thinking about picking one up at half.com...oh well
