Rumor: Looney Tunes coming to Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

Clark Kent · 01-15-2010, 12:03 AM

From the wonderful TV Shows On DVD website:
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Bug...re-Plans/13214

"Any chance we’d see any Looney Toons on Blu-Ray?" Jerry candidly (but guardedly) responded that there are some high-definition ideas floating around out there for Bugs and his pals. His exact words were: "Yes, there are plans for a Blu-Ray release of Looney Tunes. I can say no more." We understand, Jerry. We also know that nothing is set in stone yet, either, and anything can change.

Jerry refers to Jerry Beck, the noted animation expert who has worked with WB in the past on Looney Tunes dvds. This looks like very good news for Bugs Bunny and gang.

Space Jam, please

This is great news.

Well the only good thing is they could put a whole lot of cartoons on 1 disc, that is the only benefit. Cartoons are the only thing I can think of that still look ok as full screen being streched to fit a 16:9 TV.

Space Jam!

Let's hope they are the original, un-politically-corrected versions. I can't recall specifics off the top of my head, but I remember a couple years ago watching some episodes on TV and noticing scene deletions and other changes that weren't there when I watched these as a kid in the 70's.

Originals episodes = Day 1 buy for me. I LOVE Looney Tunes!

Agreed. A proper release of the original unalterned cartoons would be a day one buy for me

I would be all over this on Day 1.

Tom Hiddleston · 01-15-2010, 02:29 AM

I'm suprised people said they want Space Jam. I'd probably pick it up myself, I always liked the film as a kid, but I'd wait until it cost $14 and under. I don't think it was that popular?

Couldn't agree more. A friends wife has banned Looney Tunes from their home since their sons were old enough to watch TV. But that Pied Piper Wiggles and Teletubbies crap plays 24/7. I weep for our future generations.

Looney Tunes on blu-ray (ORIGINAL versions) would be amazing.

"Let's hope"?? You didn't even BUY the Golden Collections?

(And saw "Mississippi Hare" or "Duck, Rabbit, Duck!" aired uncut?)

As I mentioned on the blog, Warner switches to their new format on the LT releases on 4/27, and fans would be wise to watch carefully what later gets announced in tandem with it...

lforigno · 01-15-2010, 02:20 PM

I think it would be great if they just release alot of the old school cartoons that would be on each and every week. I could care less about the movies.

Hell Yeah! Duck Dodgers is F***in' Awesome
Hell Id even go for a DVD release.

Grand Bob · 01-16-2010, 03:14 PM

These are the cartoons I grew up on, and especially enjoyed the ones made between about 1950 and 1955 - they seem to be the funniest and highest quality. Makes me feel bad for todays kids, who will never have the same Saturday morning experience.

It was Warner that gave its name to Cartoon Network Syndrome (although Disney Channel invented it first):
The practice of studio-archive cable channels to start "generously" archiving all their classic reruns on DVD boxset, just before they heave-ho them off the cable channel to make room for more dopey original programming...And then, when fans complain, innocently cry "But why should we show them, you can already rent them on disk!"

And every day that CN or Boomerang ISN'T showing Bugs Bunny, is another day that you can take my Golden Collections boxsets out of my cold dead hands...

I also have those sets. I would like to get a good collection of Heckle and Jeckle, but being more politically incorrect, those are extremely hard to find.
