If you are a Fleischer fan and collector, you might want to check out this new BD that's coming out. You can see the quality of their restorations from the example. The Betty Boop cartoons are all new to BD (except for "Dizzy Dishes"). I'll have to check my Popeye and Superman sets to see if the 2 cartoons, included here, needed improvement.

Oops! Looks like 3 of the BB are on the Thunderbean BB BD, but I'm sure they will look a lot better on this new disc.

Anybody get the LTCV V2, yet? I'll probably order one next week. George Feltenstein says he's waiting for word to start on V3.  :)

I haven't ordered yet.  I'm waiting to have enough for free shipping.

I never order less than $35 worth of stuff.  ;D

LTCV V2 came today! Don't know whether to start on those or finish the '30s cartoons first.  :-\

I ended up canceling an order with one vendor so I can re-order it along with LTCV V2 from the other vendor to make my $35 minimum.  Mine also arrived but it will stay shrink wrapped for a long time.

Why?

LTCV V3 has been green-lit!  :)  Be a while before titles, though.

Did you get the BB80 reissue and did it have the booklet?

I haven't unwrapped BB80 yet either.  I am first running through my collection of genre BDs and DVDs.  I watch at least 5 a week but I have a bunch more to go.  After I finish the movies, then I will continue with the Shorts/TV Shows.

If the BB set doesn't have the booklet, I'll post some scans.

Porky said, "That's All Folks" and he was right! I just finished watching all 271 WB cartoons from the 1930s.  :)

How long did it take?

Maybe a couple of months? Usually watched 5 a day.
