Picked up Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 4 yesterday.
Figured I’d count all the cartoons listed in the index at the back of Jerry Beck and Will Friedwald’s Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons, which was published in 1989. I counted 1049.
Then I figured I’d count all the Looney Tunes cartoons in my VHS and DVD collections. I counted 371 that date to 1988 or earlier.
Gadzooks. All these videotapes and all these DVDs that have trickled into my life over the years, and I’ve still got only about a third of the cartoons that were produced by Warner Brothers.
The end may be in sight with regard to the Walt Disney cartoons, almost all of which are on DVD now. But not here.
