It's just disappointing that Warner hasn't been too forthcoming with information on their long term plans. I'm sure their plan is to milk us as long as they can and then unveil the Ultimate Collection.

I checked and I think these are the ones not released to DVD previously. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Bill of Hare Ducking the Devil Hare-Way to the Stars The Hasty Hare Lovelorn Leghorn Mad as a Mars Hare ...that is all... I don't mind Warner releasing the best ones again on restored HD, but they should continue putting the un-released lesser shorts on DVD collections each year for fans who want them all. |

I'd rather a set like this be more of a random collection anyways. It's not like these shorts need to be viewed in any particular order or anything and I'd bet that most people probably watched these as kids in random order anyways. I know when I used to watch them it was always just a mix and I guess that's how I want the sets to be. Plus like others have said this will sell better most likely than if they were to release all the old ones so I'd rather they do it as a mixture so the sets sell better and more get released.

Tempted to preorder this, but it being a WB release means that it will be dirt cheap during Black Friday on the WBShop website.
Either way, looking forward to seeing if they clean this up as well as Disney cleans up it's toons from the same era. |
Re: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection on Blu-ray (Fall 2011)
I'd much rather have a 'best-of-the-best' collection rather than chronological for this stuff. I hope that the censored 11 find their way out on blu-ray too...

Awesome. But will we get another shot glass? Or perhaps a flask this time.

Re: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection on Blu-ray (Fall 2011)
I'm hoping they spare us the overpriced trinkets and oversized packaging this time, but considering it's WB, I doubt that will be the case.

I'll have to buy the bulky version with the junk, so I can keep my drinking habit up.

Re: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection on Blu-ray (Fall 2011)
I just ordered Vol. 1 and will get Vol. 2 after the price comes down. Wish WB would have done like Disney did for the Treasures Collections. But their characters cross paths too many times.

I think that would be a terrible way to handle Looney Tunes. LT shorts are so repetitive that random is the only way to go. The first couple Golden Collections were kinda like the Treasures and I never watched them because it got old watching all Bugs, or all Road Runner shorts.
Same with Looney Tunes, I grew up watching those on Saturday mornings and they were always mixed. |
Re: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection on Blu-ray (Fall 2011)
The problem with doing it randomly is you certainly get cartoons you don't want, whether it is a character you don't like, or the black and white cartoons or whatever. If they had done something like the Disney Treasures series, they might have been able to release complete collections for a lot of their characters. The earlier cartoons, the one-shots and the lesser known cartoons might have gotten lost in the shuffle though. I think because they have so many cartoons, it's hard to figure out the right way to do it.

Cover art for Volume 2. Looks like no digibook packaging or a UCE this time.

Re: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection on Blu-ray (Fall 2011)
If they don't release a matching Digibook for Volume 2, I'm gonna be flippin' angry like Yosemite Sam!
Speaking of which: there isn't a single Yosemite Sam cartoon on Volume 2 |
Re: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection on Blu-ray (Fall 2011)
I understand the random cartoon fans, but I really want chronological sets starting from the beginning.

Just FYI, it's been confirmed that "Hare-Um Scare-Um" will have it's full original ending, unseen for many years!
