Upcoming ANIMATED series (pre-2000) - Blu-ray Forum

orangefuzzz · 03-05-2024, 11:07 PM

I don't see a whole lot of discussion on these board about classic animated series that are coming up on blu-ray. Maybe this thread can be updated whenever a cartoon series is going to be released. I'm wondering about the following series:

1. Tiny Toon Adventures (1990 series)
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)
3. The Real Ghostbusters AKA Slimer & The Real Ghostbusters (1986 series)
4. Smurfs (1981 series)
5. The New Fred and Barney Show (1979 series)
6. The Flintstone Comedy Show (1980 series)
7. Yo Yogi (1991 series)

I know there has been ample discussion on the interwebs about which series were edited on tape and for which the original film elements no longer exist. I'm also aware that some Hanna-Barbera content is only available in standard definition due to being colored on tape. But at this point, I'll take whatever "master" is available. For context, the Sailor Moon series were upscaled from tape masters and they look *acceptable*. I'd take that quality over the awful interlaced DVD versions available to us currently.

Anyone know if these series will be gracing our blu-ray cabinet anytime soon?

I would like some animated shows from the 80s and 90s on blu-ray.

There are a ton of animated shows from the 80's and 90's that I would love a blu ray release.

This is a good thread.

I'd like to ask if anyone knows how close Warner Archive is to completing their restoration and minting an HD master on the following Hanna-Barbera classic series (which we'd love to see on Blu-ray hopefully soon)....

The Huckleberry Hound Show
The Yogi Bear Show
The Magilla Gorilla Show

Jodi, I am curious to know the answer to that one as well.

I wonder if they will ever do blu ray releases for Animaniacs, Freakazoid!, and especially Tiny Toons.

If they don't release volume 2 of Police Academy the animated series on DVD, then I want the complete series on blu-ray.

Captain Planet is getting a complete DVD series release soon (I know not Blu ray) but I do believe this is it's first

At least it is getting a DVD release, there are ton of animated series that didn't even get that or at least they didn't get finished.
