New Looney Tunes Scans
🕑 Added 2021-11-03 16:17:32 +0000 UTCOf the lot of 8 scans that I recently had done, 4 are of Looney Tune/Merrie Melodies.
Design for Leaving is a LT that has already been restored and released by WB on HBO Max. However, their version is the blue ribbon reissue with the original title cards inserted. The print I acquired has the original rings (depicted above) with the title cards. As this has already been restored, I won't do much to this print other color work. But I will take the time to restore the rings, which have some details that have faded over time.
I Wanna Be a Sailor is an early Tex Avery film. I know that this has been restored by WB, but has yet to be released on either HBO Max or MeTV (it'll probably show up on MeTV first). I don't know if they restored the original title cards, and I doubt they'll have the original rings (which my print also lacks). I'm unsure when I'll get to this as I can use the restored version to better fix the color and make a 4k version. It is unknown if/when the official restoration will air.
I'm A Big Shot Now is a rarely seen one (I'm not sure why as it does not contain non-PC depictions). This has not been released since Laserdisc. I do not know it it has been restored by WB, but my guess is yes. I'll try to get to this as soon as I can (likely after work in Baby Seal or Crusader Rabbit is complete). The color is good, just a little faded, so I should be able to bring the luster out of this one.
Mighty Hunters is an early Chuck Jones film. This too has not been released since Laserdisc and I doubt WB will restore it due to Native American depictions. This is a blue ribbon reissue with original titles. I know someone with a print with the original rings, so I'll likely be able to restore those and drop the blue ribbon title cards from this.
