with a nasty habit... kill da wabbit!

Nope. I was thinking of "Haredevil Hare" in the first GOLDEN AGE OF LOONEY
TOONS collection. Sorry!

"You Ought To Be In Pictures" (1940)
"Porky In Wackyland" (1938)
"Porky Pig's Feat" (1943)
"The Case of the Stuttering Pig" (1937)
Nope, not at least on #1 and #2. Don't know what'll be on #3. Kinda
doubt it though, since the MGM/WB deal on the material is pretty clear.

No, "Haredevil Hare" (1948) was on #1. The later rework of the Marvin
saga "Hare-Way to the Stars" (1958) is noticably funnier, I think.
Looking forward to seeing this on LD...
PS. For all those interested in WB animation, I strongly recommend
Jerry Beck's & Will Friedwald's "Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies" (1989)
$14.95, ISBN 0-8050-0894-2. A lovingly crafted reference book.

Current pricing in the lastest Sight 'n' Sound catalog is
$34.95 for each of the 6 disks.
Considering that the MGM sets listed at $99.95 for a 5 disk
set, five of these disks would set you back $174.75. And they
are all typically 14 'toons per disk.
Boo Warner Brothers! Bravo Ted Turner!

You also forgot to mention, if you order any early, you get 15% off
each LD...

Perhaps so -- but IMHO, "Haredevil Hare" is well worth seeing, too.
Otherwise, where else would you here

In fact, I believe that Sight and Sound is offering these discs at 20% off
if pre-ordered. This comes to about $28 each, which is quite reasonable.

But NOT reasonable compared to the MGM boxed release. With the S'n'S
pre-order the box came to about $80 which is $16/disk. I still think
the WB pricing is a rip-off.

How times have changed, remember when WB was keeping all their disc prices
down to $25 and $30. Then I thought they were great. Now I think MGM/UA gives
the most bang for the buck.

But still no Roadrunner :-(
Am I the only person in the world still waiting for Roadrunner
releases?
