Looney Tunes hit the Warner Archive's releases again!

As it was announced anywhere like on the official Facebook's Warner Archive page and the always excellent Greg Method's Bugs Bunny Video Guide, (I recommand you greatly to keep a look to it when the site is still on!) the 2-Disc set Looney Tunes Collector's Vault Volume 1 is muchly a continuation to what Looney Tunes Collector's Choice have left off last year (The reason why they gotten a Vol. 1-4 set compiling the four original single discs have to do with the eventual series' finishing line.) with twenty-five cartoons, never be remastered on DVD or Blu-Ray on Disc 1 and the remaining disc is twenty-five additional shorts that own a DVD release, but needed a Blu-Ray eagerly.

We stressed enough that the contents' listings is not available yet, and George Feltenstein and Jerry Beck don't have the habit to went with projects like this the easier way, like just re-remastered the same Golden hit shorts to HD like in the Platinum era. There is so much materials that were missing on Blu-Ray and fewer that maintain in the Vaults since. 

The premise is made the new series much attractive to general consumers with many underatted A-lists  instead of a mere thing for completists, like the Collector's Choice discs often were.

With the fewer Bugs, lots of black-and-white Porkys, the fewer great Speedys, the late Foghorns, the solid batch of Tweety and Road Runner or the whole Hippety Hopper/Sylvester Jr. filmography, no mention the criminally neglected Pepes that need its Blu-Ray treatment, this is a win-win for everyone who demand more of these shorts to disc.

For now, the set is not available on retailers like Amazon, but it have a release date: June 17. Actually, the Archive division treated the Looney Tunes legacy and its fans with more respect, dignity and care in only two years than the Warner Home Video of old did in decades.

The future is going to be more brighter to Looney Tunes fans, now that Warner Archive is being free to exploited their most precious property to consumers. This is also by them that many short-lived Hanna-Barbera series getting a Blu-Ray upgrade. With retailer stores slowly abandonned the sale of movies and TV shows and the fate of physical media at uncertain, this is a bright of hope to anyone who think nobody cares about its demise. 

Eventually, the streamings outlets are less generous to audiences than they ever are, as reason why people (Especially young twenty-somethings that were sacrificed by the 2008s banking recession and 2020s COVID-19 crisis) moved on to physical medias again. This is arguably to me for the best.
