Any clues as to what titles will be on LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION Volume 2?
We already heard from the horse's mouth that there WILL be a LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION Volume 2 coming out later this year, but I was wondering if any word has leaked out as to what titles will be included on Volume 2? Anyone?

Wow, so many to choose from! There were 56 on Vol. 1. There is said to be 1100(!!) shorts in the WB vault! There could literally be 20 collections of this. And I would buy them all!
There are some sites with speculation (I'm sorry I don't have any links). I for one am hoping for the short where Sam is king of a castle and rides a dragon.
WB has stated that they would hold back the most popular shorts and divide them among releases so not every single one comes out on one release.

I have a Droopy DVD from Poker Industries and it looks like MGM property-not sure if WB has the rights now.

Warner now owns MGM. For example: A Christmas Story on DVD was released by MGM at first. Warner has released the re-packaged bare-bones version as well as the newer special edition.
In the Warner chat on HTF the other night, I believe they briefly talked about Tom & Jerry.

Warner owns all of MGM's library up to 1986. I think the oldest title MGM retained was Poltergiest II.
Horton Hatches the Egg will be on the 2nd volume, though. No restored titles (it's one of the Blue Ribbons with no extant uncut opening titles), but the restored Technicolor hues look fantastic.
Hyde and Hare, The Daffy Doc, What's Opera Doc, and One Froggy Evening MAY be on the set.

Don't know the titles, but I'm hoping for:
I Love to Singa (1936, Avery)
"I like to sing-a, about the moon-a and the June-a and the
Spring-a..."
The Slick Chick
"That boy's gonna need a slide rule to find me in here"
Baby Buggy Bunny
"Finster...oh Finster baby!"
Little Red Riding Rabbit
"hey grandma, what Big eyes you got"..."yeah, yeah, big eyes, big eyes...."

How about the one with Yob, the baby from outer space who gets switched with a human baby ?? I don't remember the title of that one, but it was one of WB's best. I think it was from the late 50's, early 60's.

Sorry if this is off topic, but I was wondering if anybody knew the name of a particular Bugs Bunny short. The gist of the short involved Bugs Bunny pretending to help hide a gangster, who always said "yeah see", from the cops. One thing that stands out in my mind is Bugs convincing the gangster to get in a trunk to hide from the cops. Bugs then proceeds to stab swords through the trunk to prove he's not in there. Thanks for the help if anybody can offer any.

Yeah, at the rate they're going (~50 cartoons a year) it'll take them 20 years to put them all out.
Hopefully they'll be stepping up production soon. I could easily buy four of these a year - one per quarter.

Sales for volume one were PHENOMENAL, especially considering the price of the boxed set.
It was in the top 10 best sellers for 2003, but I don't have the exact numbers in front of me.

Also I really loved the documentary stuff from the first set. Do you all think they have more stuff like this? If not what would you imagine they would use for extras on the upcoming sets?

As to what titles appear on the disc, it doesnt really matter to me. On the other hand, this next set BETTER have more than one freaking Road Runner cartoon on it.
