While I welcome the Indy movies (long overdue, IMHO) there are DVD's that haven't been released that are available on VHS, and LaserDisk that I have been patiently waiting for. Un-edited Bugs Bunny (Elmer Fudd, Road Runner, Foghorn Leghorn ect, al). Some of the funniest cartoons were done in the late 40's and into the late 50's. Yet, these are available only in VHS format. I want a library of these classics on DVD!

Me too, me too! Let's hear it for the Looney Tunes!!!

Big bump for the Warner Brothers cartoon classics on DVD! Looney Tunes, Merry Melodies, et al. Simply timeless..

Actually many of them were released to laserdisc in the 1990s. Jerry Beck (who wrote the index to every WB cartoon short) compiled up a series of 5 boxed sets (10 hours each, approx 400 shorts) for MGM-Turner. Warner Brothers released many of the shorts that they owned (films that began production in the 1950s) to a series of discs (bundled by theme or character). There were only 1000 shorts total.

The Private Snafu shorts are all on one DVD (I ordered my copy from DeepDiscountDVD and it took them awhile to track down a new copy but they got me with within a few months).

Some of the shorts are now turning up on DVD in Japan (bundled by character). The laserdiscs even included several sides of just politically incorrect shorts. I doubt that WB would ever even acknowledge those films today.

They are available on LD and I believe the DVDs are in the works...
