Fan Mail
I have been chasing after many of these Looney Tunes cartoons ever since the 1980s; the same goes for the classic MGM cartoons, fully uncut, if possible! I am very excited to hear this news that there will be a Looney Tunes collectors choice vault series being started, and of course I know why now thanks to this podcast and hints beforehand as to just what choices will be made. Of course I’m always hoping that the 25 cartoons new to Blu-ray and two DVD will be the deepest dive I’m hoping for! I am a big fan of pre-cold Hollywood, both live action and animated, and there are Looney Tunes and Mary melodies that fall under this category. I cannot wait to hear the list; that’s all I’m going to say. I have speculated many many times before, so most people know exactly what I’m waiting for. I am very happy to hear that “the Bugs Bunny show“ will possibly see the light of day, but I don’t expect that anytime soon. It will take a lot to find all the right elements of the cartoons so that we get the absolute perfect restorations. Good luck to the archive in doing this! I know you won’t stop until the best stuff is out there.
