    What does it mean if

    The "dubbed version" disclaimer simply refers to the copyright of the foreign dubbed audio track which Turner had redone in the mid-1990s. A more detailed answer on GAC Forums.

    Toonzone Talkback - BOOM! Announces "DuckTales" Comics by Warren Spector/Miquel Pujol

    Forgive me if this was brought up in a previous thread. I got the "Like a Hurricane" trade paperback from Amazon the other day since I missed the individual issues of Uncle Scrooge... overall I thought the new-to-the-USA stories were pretty bland. The cat people in that first story seemed...

    Toonzone Talkback - BOOM! Announces "DuckTales" Comics by Warren Spector/Miquel Pujol

    Maybe Louie's Place could be under the new management of his twin brother, Larry. :p Don't have too much to add, except that this is a very interesting thread that I have enjoyed reading. I am actually looking forward to the BOOM DuckTales book and am hoping it'll be good. Just seeing good...

    "Tex Avery, The Wacky World Of" Talkback

    It is no coincidence that Wacky World was produced by a French company. Tex Avery's MGM cartoons have been very popular in France for years, there have been several pieces of merchandise made over there featuring Droopy, the Wolf and Red Hot Riding Hood (you can see many examples on eBay). In...

    Toon Zone Talkback - "Looney Tunes Super-Stars": Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote: Supergenius Hijinks C

    WB has updated the information about the Roadrunner DVD. The webtoons aren't on the disc after all, it will be the three theatrical CGI Roadrunner cartoons from 2010. It also looks like "Freeze Frame" and "Soup or Sonic" are being dropped, replaced by two more Larriva RRs. More information on...

    "The Island of Misfit Christmas Specials" Talkback

    It's likely that the modern HD version is sped-up by CBS in order to cram everything in there and have enough space for commercial breaks. I watched it last night, too and it sounded a little "off" to my ears. I know this is what ABC does with The Grinch and Charlie Brown when they squeeze them...

    Toon Zone Talkback - NYCC2010: Warner Archive to Release the "Censored Eleven"

    Don't get too excited just yet. It is sounding like this "news" story misquoted what Warner Archive was saying. They made no official announcement, just that they were *looking in to* a possible release of the C11. I think someone was a bit overeager to post a "scoop".

    Why T&J 'tales didn't Do well ?

    Tom and Jerry Tales has an interesting history. It was initially made at the request of (and financial backing of) the foreign TV market, who wanted some brand-new Tom and Jerry material. It actually aired overseas for nearly a full year before it was picked up in the USA by Kids WB. It...

    Walt Disney Treasures 54-Disk Compilation Box - Coming Nov. 1

    This has actually been available for almost a year now, it came out last winter. It includes all the previously released Treasures except for the Swamp Fox/Elego Baca set (no idea why they skipped that one) and the two Zorro season tins (which came out in retail stores around the same time this...

    Cartoon Network Hall of Fame - Dexter's Laboratory Season 1 Announced!

    If you missed the Complete PPG set, Amazon currently has it on sale for $29.99. I just bought myself a copy for that price last night. Great news about Dexter. Looking forward to that one.
