mike stehr Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Have any of you folks have found any sort of Warner Bros Looney Toons on DVD? I mean the good violent un-cut ones from about the early Forties to the late Fifties. Not the cheesy stupid ones from the sixties, or the Dorky simple humor ones from the thirties,(Maybe the late 30's.) If there is Looney Toons fans out there, you know what I'm talking about. I may be strange, but this is the one of the major things I want for DVD. THANX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Mike is on to something here, the toons he's referring to are classics that deserve to be viewed unmolested by continuing generations. If there aren't any on DVD there SHOULD be. Those were absolutely great cartoons, especially in their original uncut versions. Loony Tunes, early Tom & Jerry, Popeye, and Ren & Stimpy are good examples of very talented animators with a knack for blending humor that entertains the kids but allows the adults to pick up on subtle social and political references. If enough people indicate they're interested then Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, and the like will respond to the demand, large companies generally won't ignore the opportunity for income. The problem is just a matter of getting past the PC morons with their Socialist agenda, but if everyone interested in seeing good cartoons on DVD would e-mail the distributors it can get done. There's also some online petitions to that extent, so if you want to see good, uncut animation on DVD just whack those keys and state your opinion. The PC types that say these toons are racist or inflammatory should quit trying to rewrite history and view them in context, allowing for the era the animation was produced in. History should be used to educate, not be erased because a small percentage of whiners "aren't comfortable" with it. As for any PC types that dislike this post my suggestion is to keep trying for your Darwin Award, the sooner you get one the better off the world will be.
