Looney Tunes Altered Versions Discussion v2 (or, the Looney Tunes Dumping Ground)

[wiley207]

Looney Tunes shorts are too old to be written off for tax purpose and if it does, most of Looney Tunes would be unavailable to the public.

Most of Looney Tunes are just removed from HBO Max but they aren't written off.

Oh, OK. It's just that WB-Discovery has gone through a lot of tax write-offs that affected much of Terabyte Terrace's output. But as for the lying, I even did a couple vlogs featuring Daffy Duck (in "Golden Book Video Killers" puppet form) and Sam Valentino (my private toon detective fursona) about this. (They should also bring several of you up to speed after this forum was down during said time.)

If the cartoons had been written off for taxes, they couldn't release them on Blu-Ray. It's a really dangerous practice that is essentially destroying art.

Yeah, I'm all for complete elimination of tax write off for shows, movies, video games, books, etc.

As Cartoon Network has said in a very early promo, "A good toon is a bad thing to waste".

A chunk of WB's B&W LT library has already been computer-colorized. The rest of the B&W LT/MM library should get computer-colorized versions too. This would fall under "altered versions" since these shorts were not originally made in color.

If I know right, almost all of the B&W Sunset library has been computer colorized, but not every one of these were released (for various reasons, most notably racial or political ones)

That's why we should have content warnings preceding shorts with particularly sensitive content.

And why stop at LT/MM? WB should create computer-colorized versions of the B&W Popeye cartoons and the MGM Captain and the Kids cartoons (well the ones made in B&W). Believe it or not there are people who are put off by grayscale imagery or who just plain prefer color to B&W.
