I guess I’ll ask the inevitable question: what is the overlap between this and prior Blu-ray releases?

This includes the shorts from Golden Collection 1, WAC's Cinemascope Collection, and the shorts that were meant to be a part of Golden Collection 2 + 3 hours worth of new and archival bonus features

[aviosis]

We’ve all been waiting for over a decade now for these… the wait is nearly over!

I guess I’ll list the old volume 1 blu ray and recently purchased CinemaScope collection for sale now lol

[mike962]

just noticed for anyone who bought the Cinemascope collection don't throw it away yet

as seems this set doesn't include the 2 Spike and Tyke shorts and Good Will to Men

I have a feeling it's not going to include the Spike and Tyke cartoons, alongside the Good Will to Men short that were included as a bonus on that set. If this were to be coming, I'd probably expect they would've also released the other CinemaScope shorts on the previous set, like the Droopy shorts and Cat's Meow.

But still, we finally did it! This is what we've been long awaiting for, and it's beautiful!

Might be wrong, but looks like:
114 cartoons is everything up till 1958.

Golden Collection covers 37 of them.
CinemaScope covers 23 of them.

Surely they wouldn’t bother to reauthor the disc just to remove them

[Thunderleg]

Amazing. Not even mad I bought the now redundant CinemaScope set a few months ago lol.

I wonder if the Mammy Two Shoes featurette is their way to address the racial stereotypes etc without cutting anything. Super happy to see this is uncut in any event.

[mike962]

so if they can release a 6 disc set, why can't they do this with Looney Tunes too

[Chris J]

Easily the most anticipated animation release of the year, if not the entire decade.

I will so be buying this when it becomes available for pre-order.

Between this and Silksong finally coming out, it seems like things that were previously thought to have been in limbo, are finally getting out there.

Because there’s 1000 shorts? Maybe if it sells well, we’ll get the LTs, maybe by decade. We’ll just have to wait and see.

That’s what I’m guessing. I feel like releasing them as is with either a warning or a featurette talking about the problematic elements in a historical/educational context is definitely the way to go with these older cartoons and movies instead of just pretending they don’t exist.

Some people on this forum were huffing and puffing about a new featurette on the Holiday Inn 4K where they address the “Abraham” minstrel number with various film historians discussing the history of blackface and minstrel shows. They were calling it “woke” and such but the movie was still presented unedited. That’s how you do it

[baloobas]

At last. This is the release of the year for me. Absolutely delighted. A LONG time coming.
