Oh please let Muscle Tussle be on there so I can get rid of the unfunny "comedy" Trouble Along the Way that has it as a bonus cartoon.

Still wondering who is this so called “collector” that chose the cartoons for these DVD’s.

Funny enough, I predicted this 2 days ago.

I hope Along Came Daffy, D’ Fightin’ Ones, and Devil’s Feud Cake are included on the set.

I'd like to see The Squawkin' Hawk included.

That would be George Feltenstein, WB librarian and head of Warner Archive. He is limited to the shorts that haven't yet appeared on Blu-ray and had recent HD remasters commissioned for (HBO) Max/MeTV/(HBO) Max Latin America and other outlets.

My comment was a joke boy, ya missed it. Went right past ya.

I think the color for the volume is going to be yellow since volume 1’s color was blue, volume 2’s was green, and the previous volume was red.

On The Extras podcast, George Feltenstein appeared and made some comments on Volume 4:

- Apparently the lineup has already been finalized and is expected to be announced later this month (for the record it’s still 25 cartoons that haven’t been restored on DVD or Blu-Ray ranging from the 30s to the 60s).

- The long wait for the announcement and the release date compared to the other releases was due to ensuring the shipment of the nitrates from the east coast (his wording makes it seem like there will be more than 2 cartoon newly restored on this release).

(He also mentioned that there’s more theatrical animation planned to be released in 2025 and that there is an increase in TV animation releases (which can be seen right now with at least 1 Hanna Barbera release per month)).

As the list of 25 shorts are going to be announced “later this month” (or very close to its release in November), what do you think the confirmed selections are going to be?

 

[Asa]

This video mentions that three cartoons have been confirmed to release on the disc

1945’s Peck Up Your Troubles, which features new restoration.

Two other shorts, 1960’s Lighter Than Hare (previously released on the Hare Extraordinaire DVD) and 1955’s Stork Naked (previously released on the Frustrated Fowl DVD) will officially receive proper formats, as opposed to widescreen.

1945’s Peck Up Your Troubles, which features new restoration.

Good to hear. The prints currently in circulation look so faded and dull.

Two other shorts, 1960’s Lighter Than Hare (previously released on the Hare Extraordinaire DVD) and 1955’s Stork Naked (previously released on the Frustrated Fowl DVD) will officially receive proper formats, as opposed to widescreen.

Interesting to note that those 2 will be part of the extras alongside the standard 25 (technically making the cartoon count 27). Still, I really like how they're doing that, so people won't complain about the double-dips.

What do you think the other 24 shorts are going to be?

All the shorts have been confirmed to appear.

The color’s cover is orange.

I correctly predicted that Along Came Daffy, D’ Fightin’ Ones, and Devil’s Feud Cake would be included on the set.

 

[Mejo]

Pretty good lineup! Really happy that there are 3 newly restored toons this time around (Holiday for Drumsticks is a favorite of mine).

Cover still looks a bit tacky, though. Would it kill them to hire a guy to draw an actual one instead of cheaply pasting characters from random screengrabs (I know this is a nitpick, but still)?

 

[Classic Speedy]

Nice list. The ones I'm most stoked about are Henhouse Henery (about flippin' time), D'Fightin' Ones (a personal favorite of mine), Holiday For Drumsticks (more Davis- yay!), Muscle Tussle (see earlier post), Double or Mutton (now we just need A Sheep in the Deep and Woolen Under Where and the S&R filmography will be complete), Hopalong Casualty (earthquake pills), and of course the corrected ratio versions of Stork Naked and Lighter Than Hare.

 

[awinger24]

Holiday for Drumsticks, Peck Up Your Troubles, Henhouse Henery, A Bone for a Bone, Muzzle Tough, Muscle Tussle, Sheep Ahoy, and Hyde and Go Tweet are some iconic and underrated shorts finally getting the HD treatment.

Muzzle Tough will be a new remastered restored because other restored from I Love Tweety Print from Japan was kind of dark probably not sure
