Now for the big news today: Warner Bros is conducting an online survey (http://looneytunes.warnerbros.com/specialevents/whv_survey/index.html) in which they ask all kinds of market research questions about their upcoming Looney Tunes DVD releases! We don't know how long the survey will be up, and access seems to be limited. But if you can get in, the survey takes about 10 minutes. And this is your chance to weigh in on issues like extras and packaging. A number of interesting details are revealed in the survey, including the following potential release options:
The Looney Tunes Golden Collection (4 discs - $69.95), containing 60 of the best restored and remastered shorts, featuring the "best of favorite characters" and plenty of supplemental material.
The Looney Tunes Premier Collection (2 discs - $26.95), containing 28 of the best restored and remastered shorts, featuring the "best of favorite characters" and some supplemental material.
The Looney Tunes Hit Reality (1 disc - $19.95), containing 20 all new cartoons "featuring your favorite characters starring in spoofs of reality TV shows such as Survivor, Iron Chef, Fear Factor and more" with bonus material.
The Bugs Bunny Carrot Collection (1 disc - $19.95) containing 14 classic Bugs Bunny shorts.
Since Warner is looking for market research, let's give 'em some. Obviously, we'd prefer the Golden Collection option. The most important thing to us here at The Digital Bits is that EVERY SINGLE Looney Tunes short finds its way onto DVD for collectors at some point in the future. If released at a rate of 60 shorts per collection, it would take some 18-20 collections to get them all out. But hey... there's always hope. In any case, it's good to know that Warner is at least getting serious about releasing these shorts on DVD. Keep in mind that until these titles are officially announced, anything you've read here (or see in the survey) is tentative at best. While we wait for that, here's a look at one potential packaging design for the Golden Collection...

(Don't have an FTP at work, and I'm glad I read the bandwidth leeching rule first, but it's a pic of the fanciest collection, and the one I hope they do).
More pictures (and lively discussion) about the Looney Tunes survey and DVDs are available in this thread over at the Home Theater Forum (http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=133298).
The survery is to determine what format they should use, so please go vote. :)
