It's not Tex.

As "tashlinfan44" said in a previous post, he got an email from Beck saying that he would announce the Warner projects by name on the show, but that obviously didn't happen and we were given yet another nondescript "stuff is coming" tease. Can you compensate for that?

So much for "good, exciting stuff is happening".

So, the WHV proper release is most likely Tom and Jerry, and the WAC release is either Looney Tunes or Happy Harmonies. Though if Tex isn't happening, I really doubt it's the even-less-marketable MGM one-shots.

I must say, after all this hype this February release had better be the most amazing, colossal home video release of classic cartoons ever.

Let’s not forget the article that came out that noted that 12 Looney Tunes were being restored.

Tom and Jerry is still with the main WHV group. Only other option is Superman.

I must have missed it, but when was Popeye ruled out?

Also, Jerry declined at least a Blu-Ray upgrade to the Supermans back on July 31st, so that ain't it.

I doubt the WHV release is Tom and Jerry. Why would they decide to revisit it now after canning it before? Nothing has changed to my knowledge. If there's a chance that they're revisiting it, I'd say there's just as much of a chance that they could have let WAC take the reigns finally. Besides, they haven't released a Tom and Jerry DTV movie since 2017 and all that's scheduled for the future is a live action/animated theatrical movie.

July 31st was quite a while ago, so I wouldn't say that rules Superman out.

im pretty certain it isnt jerrys choice or his wish to skimp out on details and simply say "stuff is coming"
its probably all in the hands of the company that doesnt want their stuff getting leaked, last minute decisions he has to follow. i dont think he intends to make the wait seem like something's getting overhyped either (trust me, its gotten a little annoying hearing the same old thing too)

either way i dont think ill be too picky, id like to see some more weird or obscure stuff unearthed from warner archive. though i will say the mgm studio cartoons deserve a good release of some sort...regardless of who directed them

I think that's the rub. There's a movie coming out, so if anything was going to break the impasse on Tom and Jerry, that was going to be it.

Other than Tom and Jerry, there isn't much that fits the bill of color theatrical shorts. Tex and Popeye, which have been counted out, Looney Tunes, Superman and the other MGM cartoons.

It not being Tex is already a downer, as is the fact that this secret project was so resource-intensive, it pushed the 1950's Popeyes off the schedule again. If it's just going to be a random grab-bag of Looney Tunes, that's going to be disappointing.

It has already been mentioned that the set coming out would NOT contain the television versions. So how could it be something like The Bugs Bunny Show?

Oh, I didn't catch that detail. Would it be wrong to have a Bosko set then?

So from what we know at this point, the mystery February release from WAC is:

- Theatrical
- In color
- The NON-TV version(s)
- NOT Tex Avery
- Likely required many resources
- Very exciting to those who have previewed it
- NOT Popeye

If I had to guess, it might be some collection of 60s Looney Tunes (maybe Seven Arts), or, if they are MGM shorts, probably Barney Bear.

Let me remind everyone that we know for a fact that at least 12 Looney Tunes are being restored at the moment, thanks to the article that came out discussing the Wizard of Oz. If I had to guess, then I would say that those Looney Tunes would be on the mainstream release.

I don't think a Golden Collection-style random grab bag of Looney Tunes is very exciting either, especially if double dips are mixed in again. Go comprehensive and chronological or go home.

The mainstream release could be Tom and Jerry. Like Scooby Doo, it's the one classic franchise that's completely in the mainstream unit's control and there's the movie coming out.

It does suck that we have to speculate on a release that's hitting in give or take two months. It had better be the best damn release ever for all the waiting and hype.

What I don't understand is why "the NON-TV versions" was even mentioned. If it's a set of theatrical cartoons, why would anyone think it would include television versions of said cartoons? It's a really confusing detail.

The only example for Warners would be the A.A.P versions of the Popeye's, but we have already been getting those. I'm honestly really confused at this statement.
