2025 is still around the corner from now

[@mayracordero382]

I love the classic animated releases like tom and jerry.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

@mayracordero382 That goes double for everyone else

[@CaptainCat101]

I'm glad we're still getting releases on physical media, but i wish Max would actually take care of their cartoons

[@mayracordero382]

Me too

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

Me three.

[@benmalsky9834]

What, so you wouldn’t have to subscribe to another streaming service?

[@benmalsky9834]

I understand what you’re saying. You want every one of your favorite shows to be in one place all the time, and it’s hard for you when it bounces somewhere else and that means another service to pay for monthly. It’s no big deal for me because I subscribe to pretty much everything.

[@justanotherinternetwiseguy8018]

As long as David Zaslav is in charge it might not happen. All we can do is continue stocking up on physical media.

[@BrennySpain]

Never underestimate the power of physical media. It’s a lot more power than people think am I right?

[@benmalsky9834]

I really hope now that Warner Archive will release Blu-Ray sets for the Gene Deitch and Chuck Jones Tom & Jerry cartoons. I will gladly preorder them in a heartbeat!

[@ClassicSonicManiac]

I really wish they can release the complete series of Huckleberry Hound and Quick Draw McGraw on DVD or Blu Ray soon….

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Me too!!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

​@@DaveLeeDownUnderWe will still keep on waiting

[@BrentonClark00]

They’re restoring those cartoons for MeTV Toons plus George has said on a podcast previously there is more Hanna Barbera on the hopper.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

@BrentonClark00 Cool

[@andrewmatlack4335]

I can’t tell a lie, they’re fantastic! Way to keep the spirit of physical media alive!

[@IamLegendaryguy1998]

I hope all the cartoon legendary characters classics from Hollywood past before Cartoon Network existed. Get the Blu-ray and DVD treatment.

[@JoeContext]

Honestly, with how Max treats CN shows, I say we need that library available on discs too, especially when you consider a number of shows never got full series physical releases

[@RyanMcKennaGosling]

Over the Garden Wall needs an official North American Blu-Ray release!

[@nickenglezos2352]

Hoping that with the release of Daffy Duck's Quackbusters they might eventually follow suit and issue some of the other theatrical features including The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie, Friz Freleng's Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, and 1001 Rabbit Tales (in its uncut form). Would also love them to release The Man Called Flintstone!

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Man Called Flintstone is definitely in the works! I imagine the other Looney Tunes movies aren’t too far off!

[@DragonStorm545]

Quackbusters on Blu-ray? Well time to buy my favorite Looney Tunes Package films for the 5th time as I brought it VHS, DVD, Digital via Itunes, and on KZbin too.

[@andrewscungio3200]

1:39 just in time to celebrate the 85th birthday of Tom and Jerry.

[@icecreamhero2375]

1:20 El Magnifico. LOL that one is one of my favorites.

[@cianroe3233]

Honestly this may be a hot take, but I like the CinemaScope Tom and Jerry cartoons, I think the style fits the series on how even though it on lively and colourful, everyone is always beating each other up all the time, which really subverts expectations for those who never seen Tom and Jerry, though honestly who hasn’t!

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

I will be so keen on getting Tom and Jerry the cinemascope collection, and I'm glad that the short-lived Spike and Tyke shorts we're going to be on this Blu-ray release and I think this is going to be pretty special since next year, Tom and Jerry is celebrating over 85 years

[@benmalsky9834]

@@drevianedwardsproductions9244 What I’m really waiting for is a Blu-Ray release of the Gene Deitch and Chuck Jones cartoons in their own collections.

[@robloxfanatic692]

The Tom And Jerry CinemaScope Release also will include Blue Cat Blues.

[@Pssybart]

Yes! About time that one becomes available in high quality.

[@dannewnam2701]

I remember that cartoon. ;)

[@JoshTheNostalgic1405]

Every 23 CinemaScope shorts that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera directed and produced for T&J will be included on that set even Blue Cat Blues.

[@christianpeligrinocagadas9781]

​@@JoshTheNostalgic1405while the first half of Tom and Jerry Cinemascope cartoons are produced by Fred Quimby from 1954 and 1955

@ Pet Peeve, Touché Pussy Cat, Southbound Duckling, Pup on a Picnic, and Tom and Cherie.

[@mikew1507]

I know the folks at Warner Archive are focusing more on the older shorts, but I would love to see remastered high definition releases of great 90s Warner Bros animation like Tiny Toons, Taz-Mania, Animaniacs, Pinky & the Brain, Freakazoid, and Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries.

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

They’ve released a few “modern” cartoons under their banner including Teen Titans, Beware the Batman, Batman Brave and the Bold, and Harley Quinn). They’re quick and easy releases for them as they don’t require any kind of restoration (or at least, extensive restoration) and don’t typically take up a releases lot for something else. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started putting out more contemporary stuff soon enough.

[@beppebarcio]

Tom and Jerry is my favorite childhood!

[@kirbykirbykirby.]

*Yes! Yes! Heck yeah!!!* *Physical Media **_still rules_** today!!* 😎✌️ 📼📀✨✨✨

[@joshuav875]

I see this as the Ceo of WB wanting to get rid of the Hanna Barbera, Looney Tunes, and Cartoon Network content on Max. However, its cool some of the classics are being brought to home media

[@benmalsky9834]

I don’t believe that’s the case. What happens on home video has nothing to do with what happens on streaming services.

[@JimmyG96]

The release I'm most excited for is Tom and Jerry: The Complete CinemaScope Collection. The dream T&J Blu-Ray collection I was hoping WAC to make, nor are the CinemaScope Tom and Jerry's the best cartoons of Bill and Joe's original run... but they're still pretty good, and I'm glad they're getting a proper release. They're probably going to use the same transfers that were done for the T&J Spotlight Collection DVDs 20 years ago (aka. the ONLY cartoons on those sets that were actually restored)... which is good because they were all restored in their correct aspect ratios. The only exception was Pup on a Picnic, which for some reason was presented cropped to 16:9, but it was still restored in it's correct ratio and can easily be fixed with this release. Hopefully this will open the door for WAC to release more T&J Collections on Blu-Ray.

[@benmalsky9834]

For me, my dream T&J Blu-Ray sets are ones for Gene Deitch and Chuck Jones’ different runs with the characters. Yes I know they are not considered as great as Bill & Joe’s run, but they still deserve the restoration treatment from WAC.

[@JoshTheNostalgic1405]

@@benmalsky9834they were remastered and done by WBHE back in late 2000s and early 2010s to DVD. But it will be nice to see a HD upgrade to Blu-ray Disc format through Warner Archive releases.

[@alessandrobarcio7614]

Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and other Hanna-Barbera classic are My favorite Childhood!

[@Gloryzuki]

Hopefully they MUST HAVE ALL of the classic cartoons-- for historical and collectors purposes!

[@SteffLoui88]

still wish the Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry sets were complete and I mean COMPLETE! Uncut, restored with DISCLAIMERS! So everyone can enjoy'em!

[@dannewnam2701]

Agree, Right on. ;)

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Warner Archive are working VERY HARD to get every Looney Tunes cartoon available on Blu-ray. They’ve managed 4 volumes and nearly 100 cartoons this year alone. It just takes time to remaster and re-release these things.

[@PabloComixYT]

Perhaps we should go back in time to the days of Physical media... ⌚ ⏰ ⌚ Daffy Duck's Quackbusters was one of my childhood films, I remember watching the pirated version of it...

[@gavc.7487]

This is a very good time to be a classic cartoon fan, I’m planning to get the CinemaScope collection at some point once it comes out I might grab some other misc Warner Archive Blu-Rays too for Christmas

[@marc-antoinesalome2520]

We need a Collector's Choice Volume 5 !!!! There are so many good cartoons that were never released on DVD/blu-ray !

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

There will be more volumes.

[@marc-antoinesalome2520]

@DaveLeeDownUnder really ?! Oh thanks for telling me ! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JackieMP15]

If I had a Blu-Ray Player I would get them.

[@itsjayden8002]

I think they should include the academy ratio reformatted versions of the 1st 4 Cinemascope cartoons as special features. It might be pointless, and those versions are most likely in poor quality, but I think that it will be good for preservation and history.

[@SlipperySoap]

This is so awesome! I especially love the idea of these classics being on Blue-ray!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

🎉🎉😊😊Its cool these will be getting a Blu-Ray release soon, even though I already got Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles on regular DVD.

[@petevaldezbc1]

I wish they'd release the ENTIRE catalog of these classic cartoons, even the outdated, controversial shorts (maybe make those their own separate disc(s))...we're adults, we can recognize their history without subscribing to the ideas presented within them

[@Sparkys_World-0]

So essentially, it’s Tom and Jerry Golden Collection: Volume 3 🤔

[@abdullahibouraleh6919]

Partially, yes.

[@dannewnam2701]

Maybe.

[@jasontheredfox]

Wake me up when they put animaniacs in blu-ray

[@BrianRandall-v8c]

Daffy Duck's Quackbusters is a bunch of theatrical cartoons rehashed into a movie with new animations connecting them. Unfortunately they didn't speed up Porky's voice like they did in the original cartoons and it's very noticeable. Especially when they switch between the new animations and the fillers.

[@RyanMcKennaGosling]

Here's hoping for The Looney Tunes Show to get a complete series Blu-Ray release in 2025! 🤞

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Yes please!!

[@MediaCentUK]

I'm hoping they will release The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie & 1001 Rabbit Tales on Blu Ray from the Warner Archive! I have them on VHS but would really want them on Blu Ray!

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

I’m sure they will!

[@frayhua9716]

It's a shame they are not release now they will make a great Christmas Gift.

[@ejelecflametails6657]

I really would love to the get the Tom and Jerry Cinemascope cartoons. Its honestly been very hard to find them on streaming and I'm not sure if the cinemascope versions have ever been in home video before

[@JoshTheNostalgic1405]

It has been home media before on the Spotlight Collection DVD Sets back in 2000s around 2004-2007.

[@davidhileman8567]

Well, physical media works too. What I'd like to see is a(n American one, at least, or at least an English NTSC version) complete series set of "The Amazing World of Gumball"; it's a series that I am getting into, one of the best animated series of the 2010's decade. If they do come out with it, I'll snatch it like I snatch a good donut!

[@Kyranyoutubevids]

I hope the Warner Archive would release every single Hanna Barbera Show and movie from 1957 to 2008 on a Blu Ray collectors edition box set. Those Shows and Movies including The Banana Splits (The 1968 and 2008 versions), The Cattanooga Cats, The Skatebirds, The New Yogi Bear Show from 1988, Ruff and Reddy, Wacky Races, The Hillbilly Bears, The Banana Splits In Hocus Pocus Park, Top Cat and The Beverly Hill Cats, Scooby Doo Where Are You, The 1980s Jetsons series, The Flintstones 1980s or 1990s series and a long etc. What do you think of that?

[@SnackerdJack]

I wish we still got T&J Golden Collection Vol. 2, it might been almost 12 years ago but, I still won't forgive WHV for that one. They would make bank if they released those along with the Cinemascope T&J.

[@FrancoAlmiron-f6o]

Thanks goodness for physical media!

[@adultmoshifan87]

I hope us Brits will be able to buy these somehow! Warner Archive sounds good but I have seen almost no easy means for us Brits to get these titles! (Also the beef I had with Disney Movie Club)! Yes, Quackbusters did get a DVD release over here earlier this decade but we still need more classic Warner content to be easily available around the world! On a positive note I can watch my Japanese Tom & Jerry UMD on my UK PSP, bought it in preparation for my trip to South Africa 8 and a half years ago!

[@NathanielCanty-wp7fp]

They’re also going to release Regular Show the complete series dvd In February

[@randomnessarchive354]

I'm I the only one who like the cinemascope tom and Jerry cartoons as much as the 40's one.

[@ThinkingSpotFriends]

Yay! I'm looking forward to all of them!

[@PatrickMoore-yw6lu]

I hope Warner Archive does DVD sets for the H-B Fantastic Four and The Thing cartoons to tie into the upcoming F4 MCU film. I know Disney owns Marvel, but I don't want another Batman '66 rights issue again like before between Fox and WB.

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

Buy all the DVDs you can get.

[@BrennySpain]

This is only in the US is that right? Will these come out in Australia at all by any chance?

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

They won’t come out in Australia, but you will be able to import them through Amazon Australia relatively cheaply. They are region free.

[@BrennySpain]

@ sounds good to me then! 😊

[@NostalgiaKing90]

This is PERFECT!!!!

[@markusszelbracikowski956]

Come on, why don't they simply release the whole Hanna Barbera Tom and Jerry collection already -_- But I agree, seems promising to see at least something TJ-releated being released at all!

When will we get Scooby do and Dymount hour? So that we can hear the full theme song and also the full end credits

[@ClaudioVarone3299]

Hope without 16:9 aspect ratio..

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

They cartoons that were produced in 4:3 will be presented that way. Warner does not crop their cartoons. These Tom and Jerry cartoons were produced in CinemaScope / Letterbox, and that’s how they’ll be presented.

[@garrettjamesgj3132]

Are they gonna be the same as it was released or are they gonna censor “racist” scenes

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Doubt they will censor anything, that’s not typically something Warner does.
