Chuck Jones's pair of made-for-TV shorts are out, along with the three webtoons. In their place we get two more Rudy Larriva's and three CGI shorts from last year.<br /><br />To anonymous: All of the "classic animation" Warner owns is controlled by the Family Division, the Looney Tunes included, and always has been. They've cooperated with Feltenstein in letting him work with the material, but, sad to say, it doesn't actually fall under his jurisdiction.Donnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-78151318080740242882011-01-29T12:01:16.503-05:002011-01-29T12:01:16.503-05:00There has to be deliberate planning in leaving out...There has to be deliberate planning in leaving out not only all of the final series of Chuck Jones' Road Runner shorts, but the two D-FE period ones cobbled together from the "Adventures of the Road Runner" pilot, and the first Bob McKimson RR, "Rushing Roulette", which IMHO, is the best of the post-Jones efforts.<br /><br />You don't go to all that trouble to put the dreck of the series on DVD unless you're either trying to see how low you can go with the video buying public, or if you're just trying to get the worst of the series out of the way, so it doesn't have to show it's face on any future Looney Tunes DVDs.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-60058485286192166242011-01-28T21:49:30.931-05:002011-01-28T21:49:30.931-05:00or, rather Format Films proof.
I get the sinking ...or, rather Format Films proof.<br /><br />I get the sinking feeling that the recession was the excuse Warner's top brass needed to wrestle control of the Looney Tunes away from George Feltenstein's camp, so they'd be able to do these kinds of discs with the Family Division. Hell, the selection seems to be revenge against the complaints of the cropped Bugs and Daffy discs; hence this concerted "F*** you" towards LT fans everywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-2483255096932126142011-01-28T20:20:58.864-05:002011-01-28T20:20:58.864-05:00The Road Runner formula is fool proof and low budg...The Road Runner formula is fool proof and low budget proof, except as practiced by De Patie-Freleng.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-89468534435887416982011-01-27T09:59:04.198-05:002011-01-27T09:59:04.198-05:00Thanks for this heads up, as much as it pains me t...Thanks for this heads up, as much as it pains me to read.
