Good news for Larriva fans, I guess.

[Steve Siegert]

It seems like Warner Bros' budget to restore cartoons gets smaller and smaller every year. It gives me a headache trying to imagine what the contents will be for the other Super Stars DVD's that are planned.

Without a doubt, this DVD is Warner Bros' way of giving the fans the ultimate middle finger.

[Daffysleftfoot]

What are these exactly:

1. NEW 2010 ROADRUNNER #1 (Judge Granny Case)
2. NEW 2010 ROADRUNNER #2 (Wild King Dumb)
3. NEW 2010 ROADRUNNER #3 (Wile E. Coyote Ugly)

Those aren't web toons from the KidsWB site are they?

* facepalm *

Of course I'll pick this up solely for the new-to-DVD cartoons but wow, this is not a lot to write home about.

I really hope by the "NEW 2010 ROADRUNNER" they mean the new 3D shorts and not the webtoons they listed. And at least I can get Chariots of Fur on DVD at last. Otherwise, nothing really worth while.

Pros: Finally! A Road Runner/Coyote Super Stars disc!
Larriva/DFE Cartoons which we'll see restored at last!
Chariots of Fur making it's DVD debut
Hopefully a widescreen edition of Whizzard Of Ow and maybe restored prints of Freeze Frame and Soup or Sonic (ya never know)

Cons: Will might be getting those Flash cartoons
It's 70% great but 30% rehash.
Was hoping nothing but new-to-DVD shorts (though 1 previously on DVD is fine by me)
May 24th!? I can't wait for that! I want it now (at least by March)

Despite the cons I listed, I'll buy it regardless.

I'm rather bummed that this means Chaser on the Rocks won't have audio commentary by Jerry Beck.

[The "Chase"]

Yikes. They're not even hiding it anymore that the series is half-assed.

The only reason I can see someone wanting this DVD is to get high quality Larriva footage for some AMV or somethin' (I have a hunch I'll eat those words), but even that's wasting your time when you got like 10 of Chuck's to take. Even the nostalgia from watching those webtoons around age 10 or so will not be worth it.

Like P&G though, I MIGHT get this in the future just to own a better copy of Chariots of Fur (and maybe own decent copies of the Larriva toons just for the hailabet), but no chance in hell will this be a first chance purchase.

[Speedy Boris]

OK, remember my post in that recent Super-Stars thread where I said that the upcoming Road Runner set should be good so long as it isn't mostly Larriva cartoons? Well, so much for that.

Unlike the last three new-to-DVD Super-Stars, I'm definitely passing on this set. What a wasted opportunity.

[Woody Woodpecker]

IS this the complete Larriva Road Runners if not im not buying. :speedy::shame:

[Bradskey]

- Sigh -

Well I think Jerry did say something along the lines that these really aren't for collectors. Even though they all have the ever present cop-out "This set is meant for the adult collector blah blah" verbiage on the back, apparently out of unfounded fears of offending know-nothing rugrat moms with their ancient, violent, insensitive and un-PC cartoons. I guess nothing is meant for collectors anymore, just impulse bargain racks at supermarket checkout lines.
