There was probably a lot more info on this that was lost in the crash, but what were the choices?
(I'm already reading "'Episode'??" and thinking they were talking about the heretical Cartoon Network monstrosity, but if there were fan choices for the REAL Looney volumes, can I at least be tantalized with what I missed?)

Choices were:

Wabbit Twouble
Gorilla My Dreams
Draftee Daffy
Slick Hare
Stupid Cupid
Swooner Crooner

Wabbit Twouble won the vote.

In case you're wondering, the classic LT short that won the vote and will be on Volume 2 is Wabbit Twouble.

I don't avoid facebook, I know about that Fan's choice but passed by because I already knew!

Sorry. I guess Mouse Chronicles might need it's own thread.

Regarding Volume 2...is there any information on it yet, other than they're making it? 2 discs, 3 discs? Shot glass? Maybe a Daffy one this time?

There are a few things according to Jerry Beck:

-Coming to both Blu-ray and DVD
-Will include the Complete A. Flea (An Itch In Time and A Horsefly Fleas)
-We know it will include Wabbit Twouble
-But the biggest news of all is that for the first time since it's original theatrical release, Hare-Um Scare-Um will have it's complete ending!!!

And what ending would that be?

"I'll fight you and your whole family!"
(all 200 show up)
(abrupt fadeout)

No priblem, this is a general thread for Looney Tunes and I have taken this too personally, don't worry at all

That sounds great, wonder if they will have Hare-Um Scare-Um as a complete filmography for Happy Rabbit. Hopefully there is the hunting trilogy

"The original ending involved all the rabbits beating up the hunter. When the cloud of dust clears, we see a beaten-up and dazed hunter who is then confronted by the rabbit again. The rabbit throws the hunter's shotgun in front of him and says "You oughtta get that fixed. Somebody's liable to get hurt!" He then bounces on his head, whooping into the distance. The hunter goes mad and does the same. This scene was excised most likely because it was too similar to the ending of "Daffy Duck and Egghead" released a year earlier."

Sounds like the Platinum Vols. will take care of handling the six-titles-or-less characters, and the seven or more, like Pepe LePew or Yosemite Sam, get their own collections.
So, what other characters can we expect mini-completism? The Compleat Dodsworth? The complete Penalties trilogy? The Compleat Talking Wile E. Vs. Bugs?

(Me, I'm hoping for the two Bugs. vs. Toodles the Construction Worker)

Complete Cecil Turtle
Complete Beaky Buzzard
Complete Fat Elmer
Complete Do-Do
Those are some more possibilities

I love fate Elmer! But I don't think he'll get his own collection since Wabbit Twouble is supposed to be in volume 2.

Maybe he will, after all they never said sprcifically where it is going to go!

[PuppyJonathan]

I'm starting to think that Volume 2 won't happen till 2013

Not sure if you're saying that the various ownership of the previously-divided library has contributed to the noise and dust? While legal ownership of many of the cartoons did change hands a number of times, the original negatives were always in WB's possession. The others got dupes. The "noise and dust" were photographed along with the cels and backgrounds; it isn't due to negative dirt/damage.

Heads up to everyone looking for a good price:

user VyseArcad1a on CAG posted that this set will be Best Buy's deal of the day on Aug. 2 for $19.99.

That guy has never been wrong yet. Hope it's ok to post this here, otherwise you can delete it.

That's in Vol. 1.

I believe it's listed as The Complete Witch Hazel.
