Anyone know how Old Glory has yet to be released with the opening rings restored? There were 150 prints made in its initial run! How does that happen? Did all of the initial 150 prints get destroyed, or did they ALL get the blue ribbon treatment?

Also, to put it into perspective, most LTMMs would only have 4 print, yet about 40 of the 100 or so of them have managed to be restored!

I doubt it will ever happen. That's because WB saids the opening is lost. But if someone in the future finds a 16mm print with the original opening, then WB won't remaster it from 16mm, they only remaster openings from 35mm prints.

That's strange, as Disney accept 16mm footage and WB used recreated titles anyway.

Jerry Beck told me on his old Facebook that WB only remasters Looney Tunes cartoons from 35mm prints.

Well, that's nice, so please elaborate on why, 2/3 of "Bugs Bunny Superstars" and Daffy Ducks Superstars" are in a "Unreleased Format" which is nothing other than a "Faked" widescreen? Why is there audio loss @ 4:50 minutes on "Zee Best Of Zee Best" Oder Of The Day? Warner Bros. ppppffffttttt, and they wonder why they don't sell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's go on Warner Bros. releases, "Tom & Jerry - Chuck Jones Collection" another release in a fake widescreen. Their release of "Phantom Tollbooth", another release in a fake widescreen! Their butchery of "Rankin Bass" releases (Edited, Redubbed, etc...)
