Luckily, I think WB's MO is to do them separate and pair them up later after the individuals have run their sales course.

And I don't want Innerspace.

I'd certainly buy that, especially for Innerspace (a real childhood favorite of mine).


Sadly, Looney Tunes: BIA is awful, one of Dante's worst.

I actually REALLY enjoyed this movie. It washed away the bitter taste left behind by 'Space Jam'. This was the Looney Tunes I grew up with. I'd say an instant Day 1, but given that it's coming out in December, I suspect I'll find it in the stocking LOL

Still having not seen Hollywood Boulevard, I can say that his four worst are:
Piranha (4th worst)
Innerspace (worst)
Looney Toons: Back in Action (3rd worst)
The Hole (2nd worst)

I await Burying the Ex & Paris, I'll Kill You.

Amazon pre-order Looney Tunes: Back in Action Blu-ray

For me, Innerspace is his best by a country mile. Then Gremlins, The 'Burbs, then this. He also did the best segment in Amazon Women on the Moon.

Whoaaa, that's a big surprise, now I can get rid of the DVD I bought, however, the Blu won't have castillian dub, but eh, I watched in the English anyway, hehehee.

So, yeah, it's also suprising that it'll come with NEW special features.. don't know why not audiocomentaries, Joe Dante loves doing 'em. And also, it's getting, I see, most of the Looney Tunes shorts made in 2003, prolly some will be new and never released.. wow. Impressive of Warner.

Why can't they do this with Cats Don't Dance? </3

This was my fav when i was younger, Im super surprised this is getting a release, but im not complaining. I am however super annoyed that the addams family blu ray was pulled. But day one for sure!

The Addams family blu ray was never pulled. It's still available for pre order on amazon.

Yep!

The Addams Family Blu-ray

I really don't care for this movie all that much, but I will buy it to get the two remaining unreleased 2003 Looney Tunes cartoons. Yeah they don't compare to the classics but I'm a collector. Plus I get some laughs out of them regardless.

Pretty certain its a typo, there would have been an annoucement regarding a conversion, and I don't think Dante is a fan of 3D.

[THGhost]

So, it's out now. Mine's been shipped and should arrive by the 15th.

No review yet. Anyone here who's managed to pick it up care to comment on it?

Warner is no longer sending screeners of catalog titles. I've watched a purchased copy, and it's a good-looking disc. Pretty much what you'd expect from a film finished on a DI, since there's no need to go back and do a new scan.

[robtadrian]

Both Walmart Canada and Amazon's Canada sites show this as Blu-ray 3d but an Amazon.ca rep has told another member that it's not. Just for the record Dante is a 3d enthusiast..having done the Hole in 3d (not available in US but on Netflix 3d streaming) and he was also at the 2nd 3d fest at the Egyptian...

That's a shame about Warner, but good news about the scan I suppose. I'm just glad it's here at last. I've seen it on TV in HD several times and it looked great, same with Small Soldiers - which still hasn't got a Blu-ray yet, besides the German release.

I have the disc and while the movie looks great, the bonus are unfortunately NOT in HD, nor in widescreen. They're presented in SD pan-and-scanned full screen. But I'll take what I can get.

I didn't expect the extras to be in HD, despite the movie only being 11 years old.

[Egbert Souse]

The Whizzard of Ow is in widescreen on the Road Runner Super Stars DVD (with the few good post-Jones cartoons and all the later 1990s/2000s shorts) as are the rest of the cartoons on that disc.
