Thanks for the info. We are right there with you. We've been waiting and waiting.
Now (tomorrow, 11-15-11) they've scrambled the already released episodes, and are starting a new collection on BluRay. The only reason i figure they stopped releasing them was maybe they weren't selling as much/fast as they wanted. Takes a lot to remaster them, i presume. If that's the case, I'd be happy if they just release all of them in their original form.
I have the "Golden Collection" which aren't complete, I have volumes 1, 2, 4 and 5 as well as the "Spotlight Collection" DVD's including volumes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. But there was no volume 3 in there, so they tried to use it as "Movie Collection" (aka "Spotlight Collection - Vol. 3") with two films including the "Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie" and "Bugs Bunny's 1001 Rabbit Tales".
@HomeoftheGoodGuys There was also the "Looney Tunes Super Stars" DVD's including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety & Sylvester" and the recent DVD Road Runner & Wil E Coyote. And by the way, the Looney Tunes "Platinum Collection - Vol. 1" will be coming out two weeks on Novmeber 15th for the first time ever on Blu-Ray. I have my PlayStation 3, so I will get it for Christmas and I will watch the Looney Tunes shines it bright on Blu-Ray.
Jerry Beck said the reason they stopped was because they weren't selling well (make your own conclusions on why that is). In fact, WB wanted to stop on the fifth one, but Jerry talked them into making one more. That's why there's a lot more obscure and Public Domain titles on the sixth one.
@springofpiesucks -- Really, I heard it was just a two disc set, and it was just Bugs and Daffy. Is it a volume 7? Oh, and the book is "LOONEY TUNES AND MERRY MELODIES - A COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO THE WARNER BROS. CARTOONS". It's got a 1989 date on it and mentions "Tiny Toons" is going to come out, (Thus not out yet). It's really awesome, and lists literally every 1001 cartoons and details on them all.
@watchwaddle I don't have this book Waddle. I have the book called the "100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons" book that I got last Christmas and it was a great book, but it has 100 of the greatest "Looney Tunes" shorts of all time. It has pictures from every cartoon they produced. Jerry Beck did an excellent job putting out this book.
There was going to be more Woody Woodpecker and Friends DVD's but there isn't. Why? The fire destroyed the vault (not to mention the King Kong ride). That's why there are three DVD sets. Sad eh?
@MattBL -- Yeah, those 3-D things are o.k, like the Hitchcock exibit, but they just can't beat good old animitronics. I mean do you really thing a c.g. Kong on a screen could compare to a life-size 'real' one actually attacking you?
@MattBL -- Yeah, I just saw someone's video of it. I admit, it did look pretty good, kinda like the 'Back To The Future' ride, but don't you miss animatronics?
@watchwaddle I sure miss the animatronics of the ride. Listening to him roar and blasting his breath. Who can forget the newsreporter's chopper getting smashed by Kong.
@MattBL They were all at Universal Studios in Florida, but the only reason I liked it was because of two rides; The Simpsons Ride which replaced BTTF: The Ride, and the other attraction at USF was of course, Nickelodeon Studios!
@watchwaddle I feel your pain man, I feel your pain. But at least I went to Nick Studios before it closed. Anyway, Nickelodeon showed Looney Tunes from 1988 until 1999.
@hamursh Yep! I remember seeing it on Nickelodeon back in the 90's when it was on. I also remember watching it on CBS back in the 1980's when it was the "Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show". I've seen it since I was a kid, and I also remember "Bugs & Porky" when it was on WNEW-TV (channel 5) and then "Bugs, Daffy & Friends" on WWOR-TV (channel 9) back in the late 80's as well as the segment on "Steampipe Alley" and then the one show I remember was "The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show" on ABC.
@HomeoftheGoodGuys I love the "Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show". I watched it every Saturday morning at 11:00 AM right after the animated series "New Kids on the Block". It was on ABC and that brought back some memories. But it continued right until they pulled the plug back in 2000. But now, CN is showing the original "Looney Tunes" every day at 6:00 AM and at 12:00 PM as well as a new TV series called "The Looney Tunes Show". I watched the new show and it was great! Kudos to CN for doing a great job!
@HomeoftheGoodGuys Oh and let's not forget about Cartoon Network of course. They aired Looney Tunes since 1992, and speaking of which, you should check out this thing called, "The Looney Tunes Show." It's like Looney Tunes meets almost every Warner Bros sitcom from the 80's.
@hamursh I was talking about how Warner Bros. didn't make enough classics and a fire that killed off the Universal film vault, killed off the King Kong ride. At the Universal film vault, which got killed off, there were classic Woody Woodpecker cartoons as well as others made by Walter Lantz (e.g. Inspector Willoughby, and Pooch the Pup). Universal made two DVD sets. WB made 1001 cartoons from 1930 to 1969. Lantz made 585 cartoons from 1929 to 1972.
@MattBL According to Jerry Beck in the book "The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons", he says "There were more than one thousand Warner Bros. cartoons produced under both the 'Looney Tunes' and ' Merrie Melodies' brands during the 'Golden Age' of animation (1930 to 1969)". Universal produced 585 cartoons under Walter Lantz from 1929 until 1972 after he took over from Walt Disney after he left Universal to create Mickey Mouse at his own studio while they continued with the Oswald cartoons.
Don't worry they're going to continue putting Looney Tunes on DVD, they got a new series of single disc DVD's called the Looney Tunes Super Stars series, with each disc covering a Looney tunes character.The first two are going to be released in August, and will feature Bugs and Daffy. Later in this year they will release two more featuring Foghorn Leghorn and Sylvester and Tweety, overall we will be getting Four disc's per year, and don't worry they won' be releasing any cartoons in this series.
@TeamRocket2010 I have the Tweety & Sylvester DVD, but it has the same 15 cartoons in previous DVD's with the exception of "The Last Hungry Cat" is on there, but it was on volume 3 of the "Golden Collection" which I don't have in my collection.
@WaggonerCartoons3 There is also a DVD that recently came out was Road Runner & Wil E Coyote which is part of the "Looney Tunes Super Stars" DVD series, and also it came out today is "The Essential Daffy Duck", but I look forward to get it, and fhen, the "Platinum Collection - Vol. 1" will come out on Blu-Ray for the first time on November 15h and another one from the "Looney Tunes Super Stars" which is Pepe Le Pew. This DVD will come out after the holidays.

@MattBL --- The King Kong ride got desstroyed??? I didn't know that, that sucks! I loved that ride.
watchwaddle 1 year ago
@watchwaddle I know. I hear that the ride is making a comeback with a 3D make over and Peter Jackson is in charge of the attraction. YouTube it.
MattBL 1 year ago
@MattBL -- Yeah, those 3-D things are o.k, like the Hitchcock exibit, but they just can't beat good old animitronics. I mean do you really thing a c.g. Kong on a screen could compare to a life-size 'real' one actually attacking you?

Because 10 years ago I found out that there was a Vault in Universal Studios Florida.

@MattBL Yes, but Nick studios is now the Blue Man Group at the Aqua Sharp Theater. But The Simpsons Ride is open.
