Tim Millard (01:05):
Hello and welcome to the extras.
I'm Tim Millard, your host, andjoining me for one last podcast
of 2025.
A very big one here.
Our George Feltenstein withthe Warner Archive, and
animation historian Jerry Beck.
I'm here.
Good morning.
Hi.
Yeah, speaking of good morning,uh, we all have our coffee
because uh because we got upbright and early because this is
(01:28):
a uh a big day, very excitingday.
And I think uh George, you havea big announcement for
animation fans you want to tellus.
George Feltenstein (01:37):
Well, I'm happy to announce that on
Tuesday, March 24th, 2026, fanswho've been patiently waiting
for the next uh release in theseries of The Looney Tunes
Collector's Vault, Volume 2 willbecome available on Blu-ray.
It'll be a two-disc set with 51cartoons, and the
(02:03):
manufacturer's suggested listprice is $24.98.
So basically, you're gettingthe cartoons for just slightly
less than 50 cents a cartoon,which is really awesome.
This will be like theCollector's Vault Volume 1, in
that the first disc containscartoons that have never been
(02:25):
part of a Warner Brotherscartoon collection on DVD or
Blu-ray in remastered form.
So there's some real heavyhitters in there as well as some
very true rarities.
And then on the second disc,it's the Blu-ray premiere as
part of a Warner Brotherscartoon collection in remastered
(02:49):
form of 25 more cartoons thatwere previously only available
in standard F DVD collections.
So overall, this with the priorCollector's Vault, Collector's
Vault will now have brought ahundred cartoons.
(03:10):
I'm doing the math correctly,yes, because Doubler Mutton was
a double from Collector'sChoice.
So this brings a hundred morecartoons to Blu-ray for the
first time in a Warner Brotherscartoon collection remastered
form.
And uh we've uh been workingtirelessly on this.
(03:30):
As I may have mentioned, thiswas supposed to come out as our
November pre-Christmas animationsurprise.
And it was around June we foundout that we could move on the
Tom and Jerry project inconjunction with our other
(03:53):
colleagues.
So we did that.
That pushed Looney into thefirst quarter of 2026.
But uh as things now, it's onlythe beginning of what will be
possibly our most excitinganimation year ever.
Tim Millard (04:13):
So uh that blows my mind, George, because I was
just looking back at what you'vereleased this year, and it's uh
amazing year for classicanimation.
Um, I haven't been around longenough to call it the best, but
in terms of Blu-ray releases,it's probably pretty hard to
beat.
And a big part of that, ofcourse, is this recent Tom and
(04:34):
Jerry that you uh you mentioned.
So that this has been afantastic year.
Next year with this Marchrelease, wow.
Just looking forward to it.
So well, going to that firstdisc, George.
What uh did you want to kind ofrun through some of the the
names on there or highlight?
George Feltenstein (04:54):
I'm gonna reel off the names and uh uh let
Mr.
Beck make some comments thatthat may join in because there
are certain titles, includingthe very first one, that people
have been Ooh, I'm dying againfor.
There's a little reference toEight Ball Bunny, but anyway, um
(05:18):
the first cartoon on disc one,and uh this is alphabetical.
Uh, we do that on purpose tojust create a versatile viewing
experience.
First cartoon is A Lad and HisLamp, which has been specially
uh remastered from a 4K scan offthe original successive
(05:42):
exposure negatives uh for thisspecific release.
It's a brand new, right off thenitrate, and a cartoon people
have really wanted with JimBackus as the genie.
I know Jerry loves this cartoonas much as I do.
Jerry Beck (06:00):
Oh, yeah.
It's it's great.
I mean, it's as you said,there's a rare appearance of Jim
Backus who hadn't been Mr.
McGoo quite yet.
Um he might have done the firstuh one at that point, but McGoo
wasn't a star yet.
And um, he's obviously wellknown for being on radio at that
time, playing a character notunlike the genie personality
(06:22):
that he puts in this film.
This is one of those greatMcKimson ones.
I'm finding it interesting.
I'm just in my head, I'mthinking, gee, all these
cartoons that have been withheldbefore for various reasons, of
which we have fought and arecoming through.
But the thing is, when we'reable to present them from this
point on, and really anything inthis set, is gonna be the best
(06:46):
quality ever for uh thesepreviously suppressed cartoons.
Uh, I find it interesting thatthat's the uh that's how it's
all you know come out.
That some of the ones that arethe most outrageous uh are
actually gonna get the bestpresentation.
It's just the way fate in thethe world has worked.
Um Aladdin's Lamp.
(07:06):
Um yeah, Bugs versus the Genie.
Um, I mean, uh one of the majorones that uh that hasn't been.
And we don't really have toomany major Bugs bunnies that
haven't been out.
Um uh so it's unbelievable thatby uh alphabetical order it's
the first cartoon that you willsee.
If it weren't, I know many ofthe consumers, I know me, uh I
(07:31):
would immediately have gone tothis cartoon, you know, first,
you know, to check it out.
But it's right there.
You could just push play all,and uh you'll have a great
experience on that.
That's really all I can say,except it's about time.
George Feltenstein (07:45):
I speak for the happen to be very fond of
what McKimson did with bugs inthat late 40s period.
Me too.
He turned out some really gems.
Jerry Beck (07:59):
Yeah.
George Feltenstein (07:59):
Uh it wasn't just the uh the overweight
bugs, you know, that's weirdperiod in his design, you know.
But it's a great cartoon.
And the next cartoon is Ain'tThat Ducky, with Daffy Duck,
directed by Friz Frilling.
Oh and then the next cartoon isBone Sweet Bone, which is a
(08:21):
non-character cartoon directedby Arthur Davis, Boston Quacky
with Daffy Duck and Porky Pig,directed by McKimson.
Boulevard Dier from The Bronx,directed by Friz Frilling.
That's a rarity.
Uh, The Bird Came COD withConrad Kat from The Mind of the
(08:43):
Amazing Chuck Jones.
Yes.
Country Boy, that's an earlycartoon.
That's an early one, but FrizFrilling.
Jerry Beck (08:51):
Is Drop Dead Gorgeous, as you will see.
Um, you know, vivid, crystalclear.
Nothing could top that, exceptwhat's the next cartoon, George?
George Feltenstein (09:02):
The next cartoon is the Daffy Duckaroo in
glorious black and white.
Now, there's something specialabout the fact that this is
another cartoon that wasespecially remastered from the
original negative, in this case,a nitrate black and white
camera negative for thisrelease.
And um, Jerry, why don't youshare the little piece of
(09:26):
interesting information aboutthis cartoon when you saw it
before?
Jerry Beck (09:31):
A lot of things one could say about this one.
Um, it's actually a great DaffyDuck cartoon, one of the best.
It's black and white, and it'sbeen rarely seen.
And, you know, this isdefinitely a major piece of
Daffy's filmography, I must say.
It's almost like a clampettcartoon.
A lot of clampets animators areon this.
This cartoon, like Porky andWacky Land, made references in
(09:55):
the cartoon to the studio,Warner Brothers.
You know, the famous scene inWacky Land with the Dodo is
riding the Warner Brothers.
Right.
Well, and there was always asplice.
For years, that was a cut outof that cartoon.
That cartoon got restored yearsago because it's such a
classic.
This one has a similar WarnerBrothers reference.
It's just a reference to WarnerBrothers that's in the uh
(10:19):
Indians' the truck.
It's no big deal.
It's not even the greatest gagin the world.
But when they sold thesecartoons to TV, this was in the
50s, the thick of um, you know,Hollywood's battle with
television.
Hollywood hated television, andum they they figured out ways
to sell cartoons ultimately totelevision, but they in this
(10:41):
case they had to cut out, asthey did with Wacky Land, uh any
references to Warner Brothers,whether it's the beginning
shield, whether it's uh, youknow, a reference in the
cartoon.
And this one suffered for thatfor a long time.
Um, I mean, there's a leadcharacter in this.
Daffy's adversary is a NativeAmerican.
And so that was one of the manyreasons that this one also has
(11:04):
a lot of gags related torationing and World War II and
that era, you know, very datedin that way, but yet beautifully
animated, hilariously funny.
Uh, one of the major Daffiesthat has been omitted over the
years, just overlooked.
I think uh this will bring itback to the attention it
deserves.
George Feltenstein (11:25):
And just to give the background on exactly
why the Warner Brothersreferences and logos were cut, a
year before the major,pre-August 48 for cartoons,
pre-December 49 for features,was the big sale of the Warner
Library, which took us 40 yearsto get back.
(11:47):
Right.
But um a year before that, theysold black and white Looney
Tunes in a package to GuildFilms.
Right.
And Guild Films had to makethose cuts because they didn't
want any reference to WarnerBrothers.
The fine grains that were madefor that purpose have those
(12:07):
edits.
That's why we had to go back tothe original negative, and we
were delighted to find it hadnot been tampered with.
So um, I'll move on to the nextcartoon, which is Dr.
Jerkel's Hyde, directed by Mr.
Freling.
That is a favorite of a lot ofpeople.
The Excited Rooster withFoghorn Leghorn, Fastest with
(12:30):
the Mostest with Wild E, Coyote,Super Genius, and Roadrunner,
Foul Weather, Will Sylvester,and Tweety.
Here's a big one.
I taught Putty Tat.
Jerry Beck (12:42):
Yeah.
George Feltenstein (12:43):
Remastered, especially for this collection
from the original Technicolor,successive exposure, negative
nitrate.
Looks amazing.
It's such an important cartoonthat it was included in Bugs
Bunny Superstar, which was madeby our mutual friend Larry
Jackson 50 years ago.
(13:04):
And that has remained in BugsBunny Superstar, but not looking
very good.
This new master is arevelation.
I think people will be veryexcited about it.
Then we have I Go For You withMacintosh, the Goofy Gophers,
which is quite wonderful.
I love them.
I Was a Teenage Thumb.
Okay.
(13:25):
Which is a really uniquecartoon.
Jerry has to make a commentabout that.
Jerry Beck (13:30):
I'm sure I do.
Uh no, I mean, it's it's one ofthose, I call those, one of
those uh uh Jones 60sexperimental films.
I mean, it really isn't.
It's a little fable, but it'sit's done in a high style.
Jones, I think maybe of all thedirectors there, even all the
animators there, ventured to theuh earliest uh Anasty and
(13:51):
Zagreb animation festivals.
He was becoming aware of theinternational animation scene
and the how animation wastreated in Europe.
And it was more of an adultmedium than we had in this
country, certainly by the 60swith the rise of Hanna Barbera.
Things were just different.
And Jones chose to go the moreartistic path and made films
(14:13):
like High Note and Nelly's Follyand later on, dot in the line.
This was now his newsensibility was to do these, uh
uh try some things that hadn'tbeen tried before.
This is definitely one ofthose, uh, and has a great,
unique uh feel to it that's morecloser to what Jones, his own
personal art was like.
(14:34):
Uh, I love it, and I love thatthey even tried stuff like this.
You know what I mean?
That that's the thing that Ilove.
So that's why it's here.
George Feltenstein (14:43):
The next cartoon, Little Blabber Mouse,
directed by Chris Frilling, isone of those cartoons that was
unfortunately on a disc beforein awful looking form from a
terrible old master as a bonus.
I was always against that.
I fought against it, I lostthat battle, but now we're
(15:05):
making it available uh with abeautiful HD master.
Uh Mother was a Rooster.
Foggy, Foghorn Leghorn, ofcourse.
Pest for Guests with the GoofyGopers Gophers, they have a nice
presence on this disc.
Yeah.
The Rattled Rooster, which isnot a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon,
(15:25):
and it's directed by ArthurDavis.
Yeah.
A Sheep in the Deep with Ralphand Sam, Saka Doodle-Doo with
Foghorn Leghorn again, and thenTennessee Williams' uh great
animated cartoon is Street CatNamed Sylvester.
Kidding about TennesseeWilliams, but I love that title.
To Itch His Own, which starsthrumroll.
(15:46):
Angelo the Mighty Flea fromChuck Jones.
That's another cartoon that hewas kind of doing something a
little different with, I think.
Jerry Beck (15:54):
It's his own, yeah.
That's another, that's anotherChuck experiment, I call it.
Right.
George Feltenstein (15:58):
Yeah.
It's terrific.
Yeah.
A Waggly Tale from FrizFrilling, which is very cute.
Uh, Ralph and Sam return inwoolen underwear.
Oh, yeah.
And then the last cartoon ondisc one is Zoom at the top with
Wild E Coyote and Road Runner.
So that is disc one.
(16:19):
Disc two, we start off withAwful Orphan with Pookie Pig and
Charlie Dog directed by ChuckDrew.
Jerry Beck (16:28):
George, you gotta you gotta uh uh give us the the
overall what disc two is.
George Feltenstein (16:33):
Uh yes, thank you for reminding me.
Disc two contains cartoonsremastered in high definition
that have never been part ofWarner Brothers cartoon
collection on Blu-ray.
They may have been on DVD.
I think almost all of themwere.
Uh, but now they're remasteredin high def for the first time
(16:55):
as part of a collection.
So the first cartoon is AwfulOrphan.
Uh and that is I love CharlieDog.
I love all the Charlie Dogcartoons.
That's Porky and Charlie Dog.
Then we have A Burden of GuiltyCage uh from Mr.
Frelling, starring Tweety andSylvester.
Jerry Beck (17:14):
Tweety and Sylvester.
I gotta I'll I'll interjectbecause I want to occasionally
sell her commentary.
Uh I just want to say that theuh some of these, some of these
series are maybe considered, youknow, or mainly overlooked
because of Bugs and Daffy andother classics that we put out.
But even Tweety and Sylvester,people don't recall that was
(17:37):
really second to Bugs Bunny inpopularity back in the in the
50s for sure.
Um people love them.
That's why Freeling did so manyof them.
And they're incredible.
The timing on those, the comedyin those, perfect.
I mean, it's a real, real greatseries.
And um, you know, I'm a bigadvocate of it, and I just want
(17:58):
to mention that.
I mean, uh it's important.
George Feltenstein (18:00):
It's terribly important.
I agree with you completely.
We move on to Bowery Bugs in arare directed by Arthur Davis
cartoon, but a very memorableone.
I remember this even fromchildhood.
Yeah.
Because it's about jumping offthe bridge, which is kind of an
interesting uh, you know, littleplot device for children to be
(18:21):
exposed to.
Jerry Beck (18:22):
I I always, I always I always enjoyed as a uh a kid
like you, George, I believe, whogrew up in New York.
And I was in Queens.
So whenever they would havelike the hair, you know, hair,
what is the hair grows inManhattan?
Hair grows in Manhattan and uhBowery Bugs.
I mean, you know, I love thatthat they would reference New
York, you know, uh uh in uhDaffy Doodles, Daffy's running
(18:46):
all over New York, skyscrapersgoing into the subway.
Love that.
Anyway, I'll stop.
George Feltenstein (18:52):
I love it too.
Um uh we've got uh Claws forAlarm directed by Chuck uh with
Porky Pig and Sylvester.
Crowing Pains with FalcornLegcorn, courtesy of Mr.
McKimson.
Another one of my personalfavorites, frigid hair with
Bugs, directed by Chuck Jones.
Hair remover, another one Ilove.
(19:14):
This was Tashlin when he wasleaving, right?
Right.
So McKimson got the credit, butit's really Tashlin.
Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Jerry Beck (19:24):
It's it's Hair Remover is, I believe, Tashlin,
whether there's credit or not,I'd have to go look.
George Feltenstein (19:30):
But um uh it's I don't think both of them
are credited, and I don'tremember which one.
So I don't either, but yeah.
But that's why I put both ofthem as the director, you know.
When people see the list, theywill see that.
We uh we credit both incrediblelegendary talents.
Speaking of legendary talents,the next cartoon is by Fred
(19:54):
Avery, Tex Afree, The HecklingHair, uh from 1941.
Fantastic cartoon.
Uh Hop and Go, directed by NormMcCabe.
Often overlooked, but a very,very funny cartoon.
Jerry Beck (20:11):
And then people are gonna want to know that the film
um has gotten a cleanup.
George Feltenstein (20:18):
This is a especially remastered, yes.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
So uh picture and sound are nowwhere they should be.
The next cartoon is another oneI remember loving as a kid,
Hide and Hair.
Um, it's Bugs, directed byFrilling, but it almost has a
Jones aspect to it.
A little bit around the edges.
(20:39):
Yeah.
Jerry Beck (20:40):
You know, the more you look at these cartoons, the
more you'll notice that almoston everybody's, maybe not
Jones's, but but uh the reasonis is they all work together.
As much as they were separateand they had their own units,
they looked over each other'sstoryboards.
They may have contributed thisor contributed that.
There's one of the I'm notgonna remember the name of it
offhand, but the One of the uhSylvester's son cartoons uh with
(21:05):
that McKimson did.
And the very first shot, um uhapparently there was a problem.
He couldn't get his animatorsto do the first get this first
shot done, they needed help.
And they used Ben Washam fromChuck Jones's unit, and this one
little shot of uh that opensthe film has Sylvester talking
to his son, and it looks exactlylike a Chuck Jones cartoon.
(21:27):
Yeah.
I'm like, if you ever wanted toimagine what a Sylvester and
son directed by Chuck Jones, youknow, this cartoon would show
you that.
But anyway, I digress.
Yes.
George Feltenstein (21:37):
Well, that's a perfect lead-in to our next
cartoon directed by Chuck Joneswith Porky Pig and Sylvester
jumping Jupiter.
Yeah.
You couldn't have set it upbetter.
Jerry Beck (21:49):
Yeah, that's the final of that trilogy that they
did.
And it's also more way out,literally, uh, than some of the
other ones.
They're not in a haunted house.
I'm not gonna spoil it for youif you haven't seen it, uh, but
they're in a unique location inthe in that cartoon.
George Feltenstein (22:04):
Uh, then we we enjoyed The Last Hungry Cat
with Sweetie and Tylvester.
Jerry Beck (22:09):
Sylvester The Last Hungry Cat, I must quickly
mention that was a spoof, atakeoff of uh of Alfred
Hitchcock.
Yes, very strange, veryunusual, very adult, grown-up
cartoon for Tweety andSylvester, as you will see.
Uh, Sylvester smokes and has anervous.
George Feltenstein (22:28):
But Jerry, weren't cartoons made for kids?
No.
No, they were always trying tothe watch cry.
People say, Why do you spend somuch time on cartoons?
These were animated short filmsmade for theaters for adults
that were okay for the kids inthe audience to enjoy too.
When they became televisionfodder, it was a different
(22:51):
story.
Right.
But they were made for theatersand adults, and just even the
name of the cartoon.
Uh, you know, it's coming offThe Last Angry Man.
You know, I mean, it'swonderful.
Uh, the next cartoon is withSylvester and Mr.
Speedy Gonzalez, MexicanBorders.
And then we have Mouse Menace,another Arthur Davis cartoon
(23:14):
with Porky Pig, Odor of the Daywith Pepe LePew, not from Chuck
Jones, but another from ArthurDavis.
And then Charlie Dog returnswith Porky Pig in Often and
Orphan.
And then The Pest That Came toDinner with Porky, directed by
Arthur Davis.
Ready Set Zoom with Wild E,Coyote, Super Genius, and The
(23:39):
Roadrunner.
Sent Invental Over You, whichis Peppy LePew, directed by
Jones, of course.
And then Stop, Look, and Hastenwith Wild E and The Roadrunner,
uh, directed by Jones.
To beep or not to beep, alsoWiley and The Roadrunner from
(23:59):
Mr.
Jones.
Here's one that you don't getto see very often, but you
should, and you'll enjoy ithere.
Wagon Heels.
Jerry Beck (24:07):
Wagon Heels, uh Bob Clampett, and uh very, very
funny uh Western spoof.
You know, the Westerns, I wantus to say for our audience, uh,
many, many cartoons parodiedWesterns.
And that's because from thebeginning of cinema through the
earliest days of TV into the 60sand 70s, Westerns were a major
(24:30):
genre.
Uh, Americans love them.
I love them myself.
Uh, and uh, you know, everybodyknew the cliches, so it was,
you know, you know, prime for uhmaking making fun of.
George Feltenstein (24:43):
And the Western genre is still hanging
in there, popular on television.
Yeah.
Jerry Beck (24:50):
Oh, yeah.
George Feltenstein (24:51):
With the Taylor Sheridan shows, the
Yellowstone and whatnot.
But also, uh, you know, we didour monogram Cowboy Collections.
Yep.
And uh we've got a lot moreWesterns coming up in the live
action.
There's another monogramMatinee on the way in Blu-ray.
Good.
It's a little sneak peek uh forthe non-animated folks.
But uh we love the the Westerncartoons that parody them.
(25:15):
I usually think of justYosemite Sam, but there were
many others.
Um Wagon Heels, I'm veryexcited, that's a part of it.
The next cartoon is Woe Be Gonefrom Mr.
Jones uh with Wiley andRoadrunner.
And then the next is rarelyseen uh Wise Quackers with Daffy
(25:36):
Duck and Elmer Food.
It's a frelling.
There's certain aspects of theplot that were considered a
little objectionable, but wehave the freedom to release the
cartoon in this adultcollector's collection.
And then last but certainly notleast, Chuck Jones directs
Daffy Duck and You Were NeverDuckier.
(25:57):
Yeah.
And there are the 51 cartoons,ladies and gentlemen, that will
be yours on March 24th.
Pre-orders will be going uplong before that.
There will be a very healthypre-order period.
I'd say the pre-orders willprobably go up right after the
new year.
And I would recommend thatpeople order early because uh
(26:19):
there isn't usually enoughinventory because demand exceeds
what the stock has built.
I keep trying to tell people tobuild more inventory in
anticipation of what the fanswill want.
So hopefully we will haveplenty of inventory on Street
(26:41):
Day.
I think this is a very excitingcollection.
I'm delighted we're gonna beable to bring this to the fans.
We're hoping there will be avolume three.
If volume two sells well, therewill be a volume three, and
we'll have enough time to knowhow to gauge that.
And uh again, that just adds towhat I was indicating earlier
(27:03):
of there will be a lot moretheatrical animation in 2026,
which I think is worthcelebrating.
So this uh announcement uh Ithought it would be really great
to share with our loyalconsumers and fans what the
contents of Looney TunesCollectors Vault Volume 2 are,
(27:28):
so they can have it as a littletiny Christmas present and a
thank you from the WarnerArchive Collection for the
support of the audience, thefans, the consumers out there
who are buying our releases.
We couldn't do it without yoursupport, and we appreciate your
support and hope to continue onfor decades to come.
(27:52):
Yes.
Jerry, what do you say?
Another 70, 80 years, you wantto keep doing this?
Jerry Beck (27:56):
Oh, yeah.
Oh, definitely.
It's definitely gonna be a longa long while because we have so
much more to mine.
I call it mining.
Mining is endless, it'sendless.
George Feltenstein (28:06):
So it's it's been very exciting.
People will be able to see thebeautiful packaging.
I I think they did a beautifuljob with the package, and uh the
backpackage notes are by noneother than Mr.
Beck himself.
And uh it's just gonna be aterrific set that I hope all the
(28:27):
fans will really be enjoyingfor years and years to come.
Well, George, before we wrapup, were there any extras that
were Yes, I will mention, andI'm glad you brought that up,
because the cartoons on Disc 2that had commentaries from
animation historians on theirDVD releases as part of the
(28:49):
Golden Collections and whatnot,those commentaries have all been
carried over.
That was something that peoplewere not happy about with the
first volume that we didn't dothat.
And we made sure to do thatthis time.
So there will be commentarieson this disc.
And I think it's it's justgoing to be a great deal of
(29:11):
entertainment for a veryreasonable price.
Yeah.
Tim Millard (29:14):
Well, fantastic.
This, like you said, this is aterrific little Christmas
present for those uh uhanxiously waiting to hear.
And uh then uh next year it'sgonna be fantastic to get this.
But I'm I'm excited to get mypre-order in.
And thank you guys for takingtime out, coming on the extras,
sharing with us, because unlikejust reading about this, I love
hearing the little stories andand where you guys point out
(29:36):
which ones are kind of highlyanticipated or expected or or
favored by yourself.
But uh, thank you guys.
This is a fantastic, fantasticuh podcast uh uh and and gift to
the fans.
So thank you.
George Feltenstein (29:50):
Well, and thank you, Tim.
It's always a pleasure to be aspart of the extras and to share
our enthusiasm with animationenthusiasts of all ages.
Tim Millard (30:04):
What a terrific Christmas gift for me, for you,
for all of us who enjoy classicanimation and have been waiting
to hear what these cartoons areon volume two.
So now we know and we can enjoyplanning ahead and anticipating
this release.
We will put up the pre-orderswhen they become available, as
George said, probably in earlyof 2026.
(30:26):
So you can look for that if youaren't yet on our Facebook
group or following our Facebookpage.
You may want to do that.
I put them up there right awayas well.
I want to wish everyone a happyholidays and a happy new year,
and we'll look forward to aterrific 2026.
Until next time, you've beenlistening to Tim Millard.
Stay slightly obsessed aboutplastic animation.
Hello and welcome to the extras.
I'm Tim Millard, your host, andjoining me for one last podcast
of 2025.
A very big one here.
Our George Feltenstein withthe Warner Archive, and
animation historian Jerry Beck.
I'm here.
Good morning.
Hi.
Yeah, speaking of good morning,uh, we all have our coffee
because uh because we got upbright and early because this is
(01:28):
a uh a big day, very excitingday.
And I think uh George, you havea big announcement for
animation fans you want to tellus.
George Feltenstein (01:37):
Well, I'm happy to announce that on
Tuesday, March 24th, 2026, fanswho've been patiently waiting
for the next uh release in theseries of The Looney Tunes
Collector's Vault, Volume 2 willbecome available on Blu-ray.
It'll be a two-disc set with 51cartoons, and the
(02:03):
manufacturer's suggested listprice is $24.98.
So basically, you're gettingthe cartoons for just slightly
less than 50 cents a cartoon,which is really awesome.
This will be like theCollector's Vault Volume 1, in
that the first disc containscartoons that have never been
(02:25):
part of a Warner Brotherscartoon collection on DVD or
Blu-ray in remastered form.
So there's some real heavyhitters in there as well as some
very true rarities.
And then on the second disc,it's the Blu-ray premiere as
part of a Warner Brotherscartoon collection in remastered
(02:49):
form of 25 more cartoons thatwere previously only available
in standard F DVD collections.
So overall, this with the priorCollector's Vault, Collector's
Vault will now have brought ahundred cartoons.
(03:10):
I'm doing the math correctly,yes, because Doubler Mutton was
a double from Collector'sChoice.
So this brings a hundred morecartoons to Blu-ray for the
first time in a Warner Brotherscartoon collection remastered
form.
And uh we've uh been workingtirelessly on this.
(03:30):
As I may have mentioned, thiswas supposed to come out as our
November pre-Christmas animationsurprise.
And it was around June we foundout that we could move on the
Tom and Jerry project inconjunction with our other
(03:53):
colleagues.
So we did that.
That pushed Looney into thefirst quarter of 2026.
But uh as things now, it's onlythe beginning of what will be
possibly our most excitinganimation year ever.
Tim Millard (04:13):
So uh that blows my mind, George, because I was
just looking back at what you'vereleased this year, and it's uh
amazing year for classicanimation.
Um, I haven't been around longenough to call it the best, but
in terms of Blu-ray releases,it's probably pretty hard to
beat.
And a big part of that, ofcourse, is this recent Tom and
(04:34):
Jerry that you uh you mentioned.
So that this has been afantastic year.
Next year with this Marchrelease, wow.
Just looking forward to it.
So well, going to that firstdisc, George.
What uh did you want to kind ofrun through some of the the
names on there or highlight?
George Feltenstein (04:54):
I'm gonna reel off the names and uh uh let
Mr.
Beck make some comments thatthat may join in because there
are certain titles, includingthe very first one, that people
have been Ooh, I'm dying againfor.
There's a little reference toEight Ball Bunny, but anyway, um
(05:18):
the first cartoon on disc one,and uh this is alphabetical.
Uh, we do that on purpose tojust create a versatile viewing
experience.
First cartoon is A Lad and HisLamp, which has been specially
uh remastered from a 4K scan offthe original successive
(05:42):
exposure negatives uh for thisspecific release.
It's a brand new, right off thenitrate, and a cartoon people
have really wanted with JimBackus as the genie.
I know Jerry loves this cartoonas much as I do.
Jerry Beck (06:00):
Oh, yeah.
It's it's great.
I mean, it's as you said,there's a rare appearance of Jim
Backus who hadn't been Mr.
McGoo quite yet.
Um he might have done the firstuh one at that point, but McGoo
wasn't a star yet.
And um, he's obviously wellknown for being on radio at that
time, playing a character notunlike the genie personality
(06:22):
that he puts in this film.
This is one of those greatMcKimson ones.
I'm finding it interesting.
I'm just in my head, I'mthinking, gee, all these
cartoons that have been withheldbefore for various reasons, of
which we have fought and arecoming through.
But the thing is, when we'reable to present them from this
point on, and really anything inthis set, is gonna be the best
(06:46):
quality ever for uh thesepreviously suppressed cartoons.
Uh, I find it interesting thatthat's the uh that's how it's
all you know come out.
That some of the ones that arethe most outrageous uh are
actually gonna get the bestpresentation.
It's just the way fate in thethe world has worked.
Um Aladdin's Lamp.
(07:06):
Um yeah, Bugs versus the Genie.
Um, I mean, uh one of the majorones that uh that hasn't been.
And we don't really have toomany major Bugs bunnies that
haven't been out.
Um uh so it's unbelievable thatby uh alphabetical order it's
the first cartoon that you willsee.
If it weren't, I know many ofthe consumers, I know me, uh I
(07:31):
would immediately have gone tothis cartoon, you know, first,
you know, to check it out.
But it's right there.
You could just push play all,and uh you'll have a great
experience on that.
That's really all I can say,except it's about time.
George Feltenstein (07:45):
I speak for the happen to be very fond of
what McKimson did with bugs inthat late 40s period.
Me too.
He turned out some really gems.
Jerry Beck (07:59):
Yeah.
George Feltenstein (07:59):
Uh it wasn't just the uh the overweight
bugs, you know, that's weirdperiod in his design, you know.
But it's a great cartoon.
And the next cartoon is Ain'tThat Ducky, with Daffy Duck,
directed by Friz Frilling.
Oh and then the next cartoon isBone Sweet Bone, which is a
(08:21):
non-character cartoon directedby Arthur Davis, Boston Quacky
with Daffy Duck and Porky Pig,directed by McKimson.
Boulevard Dier from The Bronx,directed by Friz Frilling.
That's a rarity.
Uh, The Bird Came COD withConrad Kat from The Mind of the
(08:43):
Amazing Chuck Jones.
Yes.
Country Boy, that's an earlycartoon.
That's an early one, but FrizFrilling.
Jerry Beck (08:51):
Is Drop Dead Gorgeous, as you will see.
Um, you know, vivid, crystalclear.
Nothing could top that, exceptwhat's the next cartoon, George?
George Feltenstein (09:02):
The next cartoon is the Daffy Duckaroo in
glorious black and white.
Now, there's something specialabout the fact that this is
another cartoon that wasespecially remastered from the
original negative, in this case,a nitrate black and white
camera negative for thisrelease.
And um, Jerry, why don't youshare the little piece of
(09:26):
interesting information aboutthis cartoon when you saw it
before?
Jerry Beck (09:31):
A lot of things one could say about this one.
Um, it's actually a great DaffyDuck cartoon, one of the best.
It's black and white, and it'sbeen rarely seen.
And, you know, this isdefinitely a major piece of
Daffy's filmography, I must say.
It's almost like a clampettcartoon.
A lot of clampets animators areon this.
This cartoon, like Porky andWacky Land, made references in
(09:55):
the cartoon to the studio,Warner Brothers.
You know, the famous scene inWacky Land with the Dodo is
riding the Warner Brothers.
Right.
Well, and there was always asplice.
For years, that was a cut outof that cartoon.
That cartoon got restored yearsago because it's such a
classic.
This one has a similar WarnerBrothers reference.
It's just a reference to WarnerBrothers that's in the uh
(10:19):
Indians' the truck.
It's no big deal.
It's not even the greatest gagin the world.
But when they sold thesecartoons to TV, this was in the
50s, the thick of um, you know,Hollywood's battle with
television.
Hollywood hated television, andum they they figured out ways
to sell cartoons ultimately totelevision, but they in this
(10:41):
case they had to cut out, asthey did with Wacky Land, uh any
references to Warner Brothers,whether it's the beginning
shield, whether it's uh, youknow, a reference in the
cartoon.
And this one suffered for thatfor a long time.
Um, I mean, there's a leadcharacter in this.
Daffy's adversary is a NativeAmerican.
And so that was one of the manyreasons that this one also has
(11:04):
a lot of gags related torationing and World War II and
that era, you know, very datedin that way, but yet beautifully
animated, hilariously funny.
Uh, one of the major Daffiesthat has been omitted over the
years, just overlooked.
I think uh this will bring itback to the attention it
deserves.
George Feltenstein (11:25):
And just to give the background on exactly
why the Warner Brothersreferences and logos were cut, a
year before the major,pre-August 48 for cartoons,
pre-December 49 for features,was the big sale of the Warner
Library, which took us 40 yearsto get back.
(11:47):
Right.
But um a year before that, theysold black and white Looney
Tunes in a package to GuildFilms.
Right.
And Guild Films had to makethose cuts because they didn't
want any reference to WarnerBrothers.
The fine grains that were madefor that purpose have those
(12:07):
edits.
That's why we had to go back tothe original negative, and we
were delighted to find it hadnot been tampered with.
So um, I'll move on to the nextcartoon, which is Dr.
Jerkel's Hyde, directed by Mr.
Freling.
That is a favorite of a lot ofpeople.
The Excited Rooster withFoghorn Leghorn, Fastest with
(12:30):
the Mostest with Wild E, Coyote,Super Genius, and Roadrunner,
Foul Weather, Will Sylvester,and Tweety.
Here's a big one.
I taught Putty Tat.
Jerry Beck (12:42):
Yeah.
George Feltenstein (12:43):
Remastered, especially for this collection
from the original Technicolor,successive exposure, negative
nitrate.
Looks amazing.
It's such an important cartoonthat it was included in Bugs
Bunny Superstar, which was madeby our mutual friend Larry
Jackson 50 years ago.
(13:04):
And that has remained in BugsBunny Superstar, but not looking
very good.
This new master is arevelation.
I think people will be veryexcited about it.
Then we have I Go For You withMacintosh, the Goofy Gophers,
which is quite wonderful.
I love them.
I Was a Teenage Thumb.
Okay.
(13:25):
Which is a really uniquecartoon.
Jerry has to make a commentabout that.
Jerry Beck (13:30):
I'm sure I do.
Uh no, I mean, it's it's one ofthose, I call those, one of
those uh uh Jones 60sexperimental films.
I mean, it really isn't.
It's a little fable, but it'sit's done in a high style.
Jones, I think maybe of all thedirectors there, even all the
animators there, ventured to theuh earliest uh Anasty and
(13:51):
Zagreb animation festivals.
He was becoming aware of theinternational animation scene
and the how animation wastreated in Europe.
And it was more of an adultmedium than we had in this
country, certainly by the 60swith the rise of Hanna Barbera.
Things were just different.
And Jones chose to go the moreartistic path and made films
(14:13):
like High Note and Nelly's Follyand later on, dot in the line.
This was now his newsensibility was to do these, uh
uh try some things that hadn'tbeen tried before.
This is definitely one ofthose, uh, and has a great,
unique uh feel to it that's morecloser to what Jones, his own
personal art was like.
(14:34):
Uh, I love it, and I love thatthey even tried stuff like this.
You know what I mean?
That that's the thing that Ilove.
So that's why it's here.
George Feltenstein (14:43):
The next cartoon, Little Blabber Mouse,
directed by Chris Frilling, isone of those cartoons that was
unfortunately on a disc beforein awful looking form from a
terrible old master as a bonus.
I was always against that.
I fought against it, I lostthat battle, but now we're
(15:05):
making it available uh with abeautiful HD master.
Uh Mother was a Rooster.
Foggy, Foghorn Leghorn, ofcourse.
Pest for Guests with the GoofyGopers Gophers, they have a nice
presence on this disc.
Yeah.
The Rattled Rooster, which isnot a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon,
(15:25):
and it's directed by ArthurDavis.
Yeah.
A Sheep in the Deep with Ralphand Sam, Saka Doodle-Doo with
Foghorn Leghorn again, and thenTennessee Williams' uh great
animated cartoon is Street CatNamed Sylvester.
Kidding about TennesseeWilliams, but I love that title.
To Itch His Own, which starsthrumroll.
(15:46):
Angelo the Mighty Flea fromChuck Jones.
That's another cartoon that hewas kind of doing something a
little different with, I think.
Jerry Beck (15:54):
It's his own, yeah.
That's another, that's anotherChuck experiment, I call it.
Right.
George Feltenstein (15:58):
Yeah.
It's terrific.
Yeah.
A Waggly Tale from FrizFrilling, which is very cute.
Uh, Ralph and Sam return inwoolen underwear.
Oh, yeah.
And then the last cartoon ondisc one is Zoom at the top with
Wild E Coyote and Road Runner.
So that is disc one.
(16:19):
Disc two, we start off withAwful Orphan with Pookie Pig and
Charlie Dog directed by ChuckDrew.
Jerry Beck (16:28):
George, you gotta you gotta uh uh give us the the
overall what disc two is.
George Feltenstein (16:33):
Uh yes, thank you for reminding me.
Disc two contains cartoonsremastered in high definition
that have never been part ofWarner Brothers cartoon
collection on Blu-ray.
They may have been on DVD.
I think almost all of themwere.
Uh, but now they're remasteredin high def for the first time
(16:55):
as part of a collection.
So the first cartoon is AwfulOrphan.
Uh and that is I love CharlieDog.
I love all the Charlie Dogcartoons.
That's Porky and Charlie Dog.
Then we have A Burden of GuiltyCage uh from Mr.
Frelling, starring Tweety andSylvester.
Jerry Beck (17:14):
Tweety and Sylvester.
I gotta I'll I'll interjectbecause I want to occasionally
sell her commentary.
Uh I just want to say that theuh some of these, some of these
series are maybe considered, youknow, or mainly overlooked
because of Bugs and Daffy andother classics that we put out.
But even Tweety and Sylvester,people don't recall that was
(17:37):
really second to Bugs Bunny inpopularity back in the in the
50s for sure.
Um people love them.
That's why Freeling did so manyof them.
And they're incredible.
The timing on those, the comedyin those, perfect.
I mean, it's a real, real greatseries.
And um, you know, I'm a bigadvocate of it, and I just want
(17:58):
to mention that.
I mean, uh it's important.
George Feltenstein (18:00):
It's terribly important.
I agree with you completely.
We move on to Bowery Bugs in arare directed by Arthur Davis
cartoon, but a very memorableone.
I remember this even fromchildhood.
Yeah.
Because it's about jumping offthe bridge, which is kind of an
interesting uh, you know, littleplot device for children to be
(18:21):
exposed to.
Jerry Beck (18:22):
I I always, I always I always enjoyed as a uh a kid
like you, George, I believe, whogrew up in New York.
And I was in Queens.
So whenever they would havelike the hair, you know, hair,
what is the hair grows inManhattan?
Hair grows in Manhattan and uhBowery Bugs.
I mean, you know, I love thatthat they would reference New
York, you know, uh uh in uhDaffy Doodles, Daffy's running
(18:46):
all over New York, skyscrapersgoing into the subway.
Love that.
Anyway, I'll stop.
George Feltenstein (18:52):
I love it too.
Um uh we've got uh Claws forAlarm directed by Chuck uh with
Porky Pig and Sylvester.
Crowing Pains with FalcornLegcorn, courtesy of Mr.
McKimson.
Another one of my personalfavorites, frigid hair with
Bugs, directed by Chuck Jones.
Hair remover, another one Ilove.
(19:14):
This was Tashlin when he wasleaving, right?
Right.
So McKimson got the credit, butit's really Tashlin.
Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Jerry Beck (19:24):
It's it's Hair Remover is, I believe, Tashlin,
whether there's credit or not,I'd have to go look.
George Feltenstein (19:30):
But um uh it's I don't think both of them
are credited, and I don'tremember which one.
So I don't either, but yeah.
But that's why I put both ofthem as the director, you know.
When people see the list, theywill see that.
We uh we credit both incrediblelegendary talents.
Speaking of legendary talents,the next cartoon is by Fred
(19:54):
Avery, Tex Afree, The HecklingHair, uh from 1941.
Fantastic cartoon.
Uh Hop and Go, directed by NormMcCabe.
Often overlooked, but a very,very funny cartoon.
Jerry Beck (20:11):
And then people are gonna want to know that the film
um has gotten a cleanup.
George Feltenstein (20:18):
This is a especially remastered, yes.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
So uh picture and sound are nowwhere they should be.
The next cartoon is another oneI remember loving as a kid,
Hide and Hair.
Um, it's Bugs, directed byFrilling, but it almost has a
Jones aspect to it.
A little bit around the edges.
(20:39):
Yeah.
Jerry Beck (20:40):
You know, the more you look at these cartoons, the
more you'll notice that almoston everybody's, maybe not
Jones's, but but uh the reasonis is they all work together.
As much as they were separateand they had their own units,
they looked over each other'sstoryboards.
They may have contributed thisor contributed that.
There's one of the I'm notgonna remember the name of it
offhand, but the One of the uhSylvester's son cartoons uh with
(21:05):
that McKimson did.
And the very first shot, um uhapparently there was a problem.
He couldn't get his animatorsto do the first get this first
shot done, they needed help.
And they used Ben Washam fromChuck Jones's unit, and this one
little shot of uh that opensthe film has Sylvester talking
to his son, and it looks exactlylike a Chuck Jones cartoon.
(21:27):
Yeah.
I'm like, if you ever wanted toimagine what a Sylvester and
son directed by Chuck Jones, youknow, this cartoon would show
you that.
But anyway, I digress.
Yes.
George Feltenstein (21:37):
Well, that's a perfect lead-in to our next
cartoon directed by Chuck Joneswith Porky Pig and Sylvester
jumping Jupiter.
Yeah.
You couldn't have set it upbetter.
Jerry Beck (21:49):
Yeah, that's the final of that trilogy that they
did.
And it's also more way out,literally, uh, than some of the
other ones.
They're not in a haunted house.
I'm not gonna spoil it for youif you haven't seen it, uh, but
they're in a unique location inthe in that cartoon.
George Feltenstein (22:04):
Uh, then we we enjoyed The Last Hungry Cat
with Sweetie and Tylvester.
Jerry Beck (22:09):
Sylvester The Last Hungry Cat, I must quickly
mention that was a spoof, atakeoff of uh of Alfred
Hitchcock.
Yes, very strange, veryunusual, very adult, grown-up
cartoon for Tweety andSylvester, as you will see.
Uh, Sylvester smokes and has anervous.
George Feltenstein (22:28):
But Jerry, weren't cartoons made for kids?
No.
No, they were always trying tothe watch cry.
People say, Why do you spend somuch time on cartoons?
These were animated short filmsmade for theaters for adults
that were okay for the kids inthe audience to enjoy too.
When they became televisionfodder, it was a different
(22:51):
story.
Right.
But they were made for theatersand adults, and just even the
name of the cartoon.
Uh, you know, it's coming offThe Last Angry Man.
You know, I mean, it'swonderful.
Uh, the next cartoon is withSylvester and Mr.
Speedy Gonzalez, MexicanBorders.
And then we have Mouse Menace,another Arthur Davis cartoon
(23:14):
with Porky Pig, Odor of the Daywith Pepe LePew, not from Chuck
Jones, but another from ArthurDavis.
And then Charlie Dog returnswith Porky Pig in Often and
Orphan.
And then The Pest That Came toDinner with Porky, directed by
Arthur Davis.
Ready Set Zoom with Wild E,Coyote, Super Genius, and The
(23:39):
Roadrunner.
Sent Invental Over You, whichis Peppy LePew, directed by
Jones, of course.
And then Stop, Look, and Hastenwith Wild E and The Roadrunner,
uh, directed by Jones.
To beep or not to beep, alsoWiley and The Roadrunner from
(23:59):
Mr.
Jones.
Here's one that you don't getto see very often, but you
should, and you'll enjoy ithere.
Wagon Heels.
Jerry Beck (24:07):
Wagon Heels, uh Bob Clampett, and uh very, very
funny uh Western spoof.
You know, the Westerns, I wantus to say for our audience, uh,
many, many cartoons parodiedWesterns.
And that's because from thebeginning of cinema through the
earliest days of TV into the 60sand 70s, Westerns were a major
(24:30):
genre.
Uh, Americans love them.
I love them myself.
Uh, and uh, you know, everybodyknew the cliches, so it was,
you know, you know, prime for uhmaking making fun of.
George Feltenstein (24:43):
And the Western genre is still hanging
in there, popular on television.
Yeah.
Jerry Beck (24:50):
Oh, yeah.
George Feltenstein (24:51):
With the Taylor Sheridan shows, the
Yellowstone and whatnot.
But also, uh, you know, we didour monogram Cowboy Collections.
Yep.
And uh we've got a lot moreWesterns coming up in the live
action.
There's another monogramMatinee on the way in Blu-ray.
Good.
It's a little sneak peek uh forthe non-animated folks.
But uh we love the the Westerncartoons that parody them.
(25:15):
I usually think of justYosemite Sam, but there were
many others.
Um Wagon Heels, I'm veryexcited, that's a part of it.
The next cartoon is Woe Be Gonefrom Mr.
Jones uh with Wiley andRoadrunner.
And then the next is rarelyseen uh Wise Quackers with Daffy
(25:36):
Duck and Elmer Food.
It's a frelling.
There's certain aspects of theplot that were considered a
little objectionable, but wehave the freedom to release the
cartoon in this adultcollector's collection.
And then last but certainly notleast, Chuck Jones directs
Daffy Duck and You Were NeverDuckier.
(25:57):
Yeah.
And there are the 51 cartoons,ladies and gentlemen, that will
be yours on March 24th.
Pre-orders will be going uplong before that.
There will be a very healthypre-order period.
I'd say the pre-orders willprobably go up right after the
new year.
And I would recommend thatpeople order early because uh
(26:19):
there isn't usually enoughinventory because demand exceeds
what the stock has built.
I keep trying to tell people tobuild more inventory in
anticipation of what the fanswill want.
So hopefully we will haveplenty of inventory on Street
(26:41):
Day.
I think this is a very excitingcollection.
I'm delighted we're gonna beable to bring this to the fans.
We're hoping there will be avolume three.
If volume two sells well, therewill be a volume three, and
we'll have enough time to knowhow to gauge that.
And uh again, that just adds towhat I was indicating earlier
(27:03):
of there will be a lot moretheatrical animation in 2026,
which I think is worthcelebrating.
So this uh announcement uh Ithought it would be really great
to share with our loyalconsumers and fans what the
contents of Looney TunesCollectors Vault Volume 2 are,
(27:28):
so they can have it as a littletiny Christmas present and a
thank you from the WarnerArchive Collection for the
support of the audience, thefans, the consumers out there
who are buying our releases.
We couldn't do it without yoursupport, and we appreciate your
support and hope to continue onfor decades to come.
(27:52):
Yes.
Jerry, what do you say?
Another 70, 80 years, you wantto keep doing this?
Jerry Beck (27:56):
Oh, yeah.
Oh, definitely.
It's definitely gonna be a longa long while because we have so
much more to mine.
I call it mining.
Mining is endless, it'sendless.
George Feltenstein (28:06):
So it's it's been very exciting.
People will be able to see thebeautiful packaging.
I I think they did a beautifuljob with the package, and uh the
backpackage notes are by noneother than Mr.
Beck himself.
And uh it's just gonna be aterrific set that I hope all the
(28:27):
fans will really be enjoyingfor years and years to come.
Well, George, before we wrapup, were there any extras that
were Yes, I will mention, andI'm glad you brought that up,
because the cartoons on Disc 2that had commentaries from
animation historians on theirDVD releases as part of the
(28:49):
Golden Collections and whatnot,those commentaries have all been
carried over.
That was something that peoplewere not happy about with the
first volume that we didn't dothat.
And we made sure to do thatthis time.
So there will be commentarieson this disc.
And I think it's it's justgoing to be a great deal of
(29:11):
entertainment for a veryreasonable price.
Yeah.
Tim Millard (29:14):
Well, fantastic.
This, like you said, this is aterrific little Christmas
present for those uh uhanxiously waiting to hear.
And uh then uh next year it'sgonna be fantastic to get this.
But I'm I'm excited to get mypre-order in.
And thank you guys for takingtime out, coming on the extras,
sharing with us, because unlikejust reading about this, I love
hearing the little stories andand where you guys point out
(29:36):
which ones are kind of highlyanticipated or expected or or
favored by yourself.
But uh, thank you guys.
This is a fantastic, fantasticuh podcast uh uh and and gift to
the fans.
So thank you.
George Feltenstein (29:50):
Well, and thank you, Tim.
It's always a pleasure to be aspart of the extras and to share
