In the middle of last week, we were the first to break the news to you about extras for the upcoming
The Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 DVD set (which, by the way, is now
available for pre-order at Amazon). The very next day, Jerry Beck - an animation historian who is very much involved in getting these Looney Tunes DVDs filled to the brim with bonus material - had this to say at his own website,

Jerry Beck said he wanted to give "loyal Cartoon Brew readers an advantage" by listing those extra details, so out of respect to him we've let a few days go by before passing this on to our readers. However, other DVD news websites have been republishing this list, we're told, so we decided it was time to make sure our readers have the best info available.
Don't depend solely on the above list, however! Mr. Beck says to
"keep in mind that the following is NOT a complete list of bonus goodies - more to come!" Well, he's not kidding: he didn't mention the 2 Documentaries we reported last time, he named only 6 of the 9 reported Featurettes, he left off the New 2004 Short "Daffy Duck for President" and the 50th-Anniversary "Bugs Bunny Tribute" Show as well!
In order to make it easier for you, this morning we put together our
release listing for the new set. Clicking that link will bring you to a concise page with everything we know about the set. Cover art isn't there right this second, but we'll add it later today. For now, here's a reminder of it:
Don't forget to place your pre-order at
Amazon.com, where this is currently available for just $45.44...30% off list price. Not bad at all.
And we're more than happy to see that the "What's Opera Doc?" featurette we were hoping for (as mentioned in our
first news post about this release, after the list of shorts) is definitely included on the set! Yay! It will be great to see them expound on the info in Beck's great book,
Looney Tunes: The Ultimate Visual Guide (something no fan should be without).
Stay tuned, because we expect it won't be long at all before we have additional details for you about this exciting DVD release...November can't come fast enough!
