Ideas For 2024-2025 Physical Media Releases

[TURBOKAN™]

I’m expecting to see the 1950’s Popeye shorts finally available on DVD sometime later this decade (they haven’t released any new releases since 2019 and that was because they were focusing on releasing other classics like the Tex Avery Screwball Classics collections).

Don't forget 1930s shorts including specials on blu-ray

Warner Archive should also consider releasing the Looney Tunes compilation movies.

2024 marks the 45th anniversary of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979). It would be neat if they released a 5-movie set that also includes The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (1981), Bugs Bunny’s 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982), Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island (1983) and Daffy Duck’s Quackbusters (1988).

Seeing their remastered release of Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 as well as other deep cuts see a lot of potential with their cartoon catalog.

A release I wouldn’t see in a while would be a restored complete series set for Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. All were filmed on 35mm but transferred to videotape.

"Batman: The Animated Series," "Superman: The Animated Series," and "The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" were remastered from their original 35mm film elements, and the on-screen text was digitally recreated for the end credits and other parts of the episodes. I don't see why the on-screen text for the end credits cannot be digitally recreated for the restorations of the three shows you mentioned. I'm pretty sure that those raw, unedited 35mm film elements should still exist, and that the edits can be digitally recreated.

I think they should try releasing a complete set of all the Daffy Duck shorts (sticking to the original era, though you could put in some of the 80s ones as well). See if there's demand for a set like that (though one couldnt be done for Bugs Bunny, as he's got some banned ones out there).

Tweety's Circus is one short that I want to see on Blu-Ray. Another one that should also get that treatment is "Fowl Weather" (1953).
