    Blue Ribbon Restoration

    Warner Bros. hasn't created any new artwork or soundtracks, if the titles aren't found it seems they will simply stick with the blue ribbon version (like they did with "Horton Hatches the Egg" on the Dr. Suess DVD). A long time ago I emailed Jerry Beck about what would happen if the original...

    Just in case you don't go to the Cafe...

    It jumps to "The Abominable Snow Rabbit," which the writer feels is Daffy's last hurrah, but doesn't mention any of the cartoons between Rabbit Fire and that one and how they relate to Daffy's 1950's developement. There's no mention of imprortant cartoons like Beanstalk Bunny or My Little...

    Golden Collection 2 - Extras and Cover Art

    It's all truly exciting, especially the restored featurettes. I really can't wait to see the set, watch the restorations and listen to the commentaries. While it's sad that only four and a half cartoons had thier titles restored, we're still better off than we were.:D As for the cover - I...

    Just in case you don't go to the Cafe...

    While the original Daffy had greedy/egotistical elements, there is a difference between the personality used before the mid 50's and the one used afterwards. That the cartoons made after the mid 50's can be split into the ones using the crazy personality and ones using the greedy personality...

    Bugs Bunny Rides Again

    Yeah, that cartoon was "For He's A Jolly Good Fala" (Fala being Roosevelt's dog), the cartoon supposedly didn't get past the voice recording stage. Another altered cartoon is "Fresh Airedale." Supposedly the "#1 Dog" was originally to be Fala. The newpaper photo of Shep saving the dog still...

    Fox and Crow availability...

    The cartoons were syndicated to television in the 1950's, supposedly with Hanna-Barbera's Ruff and Reddy cartoons (H-B's early series were distributed by Screen Gems/Columbia).

    Just in case you don't go to the Cafe...

    It was a pretty good movie, not a must see or anything, but better than most Looney Tunes revival stuff with a few standout moments. I understood the plot too, but could see how the fast pace and some of the other elements in the movie could make it a little hard to enjoy (sort of like Pullet...

    The Weakly Reporter (by Chuck Jones c. 1944)

    Maybe metal objects, such as alarm clocks, were hard to get during WWII, making a working clock worth more than money since you couldn't buy a new one. I think absolutpaul was referring to the desire the public had for hard-to-get rationed items.

    G.A.C.!

    Because I want to have the pleasure of destroying those videos myself. Oh well, I might as well let the cat out of the bag. GAC stands for Grape Ape Collection. WB is putting all other cartoon restorations on hold in order to quickly restore every episode of the classic Grape Ape series for a...

    G.A.C.!

    I am a part of the great GAC conspiracy and have known about it from the very beginning. Anything is possible at GAC... I'd love to tell you all what GAC is, but Jon said he'd destroy my Filmation Droopy videos if I told anyone.

    G.A.C.!

    GAC is not a TV channel. (Actually, I just remembered there is a GAC channel, but it stands for Great American Country - it's a music channel.) However, there is still the possibility that it might be a puppet. You never know when something is going to turn out to be a puppet - and it always...

    Characters going by different names

    Goofy is George Geef in a number of early 50's cartoons.
