When films are scanned at 4K resolution from original negatives, they look this good. The age, dirt issue applies to prints. Since network air prints came from the negatives, the negs did not get a lot of handling that kept them pristine since they were not used to make multiple prints. The syndication 16mm prints which saw multiple use and degradation. The reason why the colors look so vibrant is due to the wider range of color reproduction that is possible with modern televisions. In the day, the color range was limited to the colors added to seven ranges of gray. So the subtle differences between tan and ochre would reproduce as the same "tan." Yellow was also a challenge on early color television. To compensate, the yellow used was more yellow orange to avoid looking yellow-green. The other issue of color display is due to how the images react to the medium of transfer. But considering that there cartoons were designed not for a projection medium as in theaters, but for a light beam image aimed into a television camera system is something to consider as well.

Great question! Reboot? No, definitely not. But I'd like to see more new animated adventures of the modern stone-age family, for sure. Certain crossovers, like the WWE movie, are befuddling to me, but I see WB trying to capture a new, young audience. In my view, these characters are timeless: they thrived throughout the seventies in new TV specials, and even in the 80s and early 90s, these characters were everywhere. We had Flintstones Kids on Saturday morning, we had Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles adverts all over the TV, and we even had Flinstones on our vitamins. Scooby-Doo is still going strong, and I would love to see some new animated specials that just provide us with new adventures, but not if it changes these characters into something we can't recognize.

Hi Mr. Cereal at Midnight. You mention here that episode #17 is without music or Sfx. If I am correct, then this would be the program titled The Big Bank Robbery. If so, why is there no music or sfx for this? I have the originally released individual season sets. Season 1 of this episode appears (did not watch the full episode just first few minutes) to have the music and sfx. If it is on the first season sets released individually , why would they not have access to it for this new complete blu-ray set? Have you contacted Warner’s about when a replacement disc program will start? Seems they are aware of this &would want to get the ball rolling on this as this set is due to be released in the next few days.

Yes to the full frame using less data, and these are also minimally animated. The backgrounds are still at almost all times, so I think they need less bit-rate than many other shows.

In the 80s, Hanna-Barbera created 51 new episodes with the original voice cast, and that's what makes up the majority of that new set. With the sixties episodes on Blu-ray and the Jetsons Movie hitting Blu-ray in February, I have to imagine all those 1980s episodes are coming to Blu-ray soon. Maybe from Warner Archive?

Sorry for the poor choice of words. I saw no mention of it in your video review, so assumed you weren't aware by the silence on the topic. It's one of the leading issues of concern among enthusiasts paying attention to this upcoming release at forums, since the problems that plague these restorations on HBO Max were highly likely to be carried forward to the Blu-Ray release (Such as the discovery by HighDefDiscNews that episode #17 is missing audio tracks just like when it hit HBO Max). forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=330302 Above in the first post is a presumably complete listing of the missing teasers on HBO Max. I'd be quite surprised if they're actually on your Blu-Ray discs when the other glaring error wasn't corrected. And sadly many of these missing teasers feature scenes not repeated in the main episode itself, so it's not just what amounts to an episode preview before the introduction that's missing in those cases. Another area of concern for some (Minor for most of us), is if The Man Called Flintstone still has the cut opening or if Wilma holding the torch is finally intact again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmLFl32jpNWNnck Not as important I suspect to the fans that were annoyed that this nice touch has been edited away in recent decades, given the news that the movie isn't presented in HD.

Oh, and The Man Called Flinstone doesn't open with Wilma holding the torch. It goes right into the title song. If I had to guess why, I'd say because the torch logo was representative of the fact that The Man Called Flintstone was distributed by Columbia Pictures in the sixties. Now it's owned by Warner Brothers. Columbia is a subsidiary of Sony Pictures now, so for that to appear at the beginning of the movie would be Warner Brothers running a logo for someone else before their movie. And that's IF they're even legally allowed to do so. You'd never see McDonald's advertising for Burger King, and this is a similar deal. They're rivals.

That's great news that the affected teasers are intact. Makes it all the more puzzling that they missed the error you pointed out in your review. Thanks for the good news. :) And I'm sure you're right. While some studios aren't afraid to keep another company's logo intact (Like black & white Paramount movies under Universal ownership), some prefer to edit it out. For me personally, I'm not one to get too hung up over a 5 second alteration in a movie so it didn't matter to me like it does to some. But still, like any fan, I would obviously still prefer it to be presented with 100% authenticity if I had my choice.

I wish "that other studio" would do an HD restoration of The Simpsons. Specifically seasons 1-13 because they were made with ink, paint, and film.

Listed as region A. No reports yet of anyone trying it on other region players, though many Warner discs are region free. I’m region A locked for now, so I can’t verify region.

Nothing will be added to this set. This is the complete 1960s series, not a Flintstones archive. However, you bet your sweet bippy that Warner Brothers will be watching the sales of this box set to determine the audience for future Flintstones restorations and products on disc. As mentioned in the review video, if we want more, we vote with our wallet.

@CerealAtMidnight4 жыл бұрын
Why does that suck? 4:3 is their original aspect ratio, and there is literally no way to present content that was created in 4:3 without cropping the image. We don't EVER want to see this stuff cropped, edited, or cut.

@CerealAtMidnight4 жыл бұрын
I hope you come to change your opinion in time. Original presentations should be preserved. Those black bars are there because the people presenting the show care about preserving the show as it aired. And the DVDs have black bars too. Just to make sure you understand, the only way a show like Flintstones would NOT have black bars is if roughly a third of the image was removed. Black bars are necessary to preserve how these were MADE to look. If it bothers you so much to have black bars, use the zoom button on your remote. Art shouldn’t be ruined because people don’t like having blank space on their new TVs.

heath, there was a couple of tv movies and specials that feature the flintstones that i notice that were Not included in this set the crossover between them and the jetsons was not included Nor are the tv movies where it involves pebbles and bamm grown up which are i yabba dabba doo and holly rock a bye baby Nor the flintstones halloween specials involving flintstones's neighbors, the Frankenstones nor the christmas specials which came After the episode Christmas Flintstone , which include: a Flintstones christmas From 1977, A Flintstones Family Christmas From 1993, and the tv movie A Flintstone Christmas Carol From 1994 nor flintstones little big league from 1978 there is So much Flintstones stuff Post - the Original series that this set probably would have been happy to include on it hopefully if a another re-issue does happen, more specials will get added to the set

Discussed at the 10:00 time code. This was never intended to be an archive of EVERYTHING Flintstones. This is the 1960s Hanna-Barbera TV series in its entirety, with two movies thrown in as as extras. A Flintstones archive would be hundreds (thousands?) of dollars and dozens and dozens of discs. This is focused on the original series, newly restored. And it's 60 bucks. If we want more, we gotta buy this.
