Fan Mail
I just love this podcast! I could listen to the three of you talk all day. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the current team at Warner Archive are dedicated to satisfying the animation fans. From re-releasing the super stars cropped shorts to the proper aspect ratio to having the platinum collections reprinted on bluray to combat scalpers, and now including an extra cartoon on the next release to make up for Double or Mutton error - George and Jerry listen to the fans and I just couldn’t appreciate them more. PS … 1936’s Don’t Look Now by Tex Avery would be a most welcome debut on Collector’s Vault Vol 2 🤞
