I, sadly, agree. I mean, A for effort, Warner Archive, but...c’moooooooon. You’re better than that. 😐I’ll pick this up, anyway, because I want my Tex Avery collection...but, I would like to see these glaring issues fixed.
I suspect Jerry's line on Stu's Show will be "most people won't notice" or "mistakes were made" like on Porky 101. I don't think he cares.
A friend e-mailed Jerry Beck regarding this set, and according to Mr. Beck, the team who worked on the cartoons for HBO Max was a different team than the one who normally restores the films, as the old team was let go during the pandemic. This explains the severe drop in quality. WA will not put out a third Tex set unless they can use the old crew. Beck personally did not spot any DVNR, but he admitted that he did not inspect the cartoons frame-by-frame.

But its unfortunete if the original crew had to lose their jobs over the pandemic.

Specially if Jerry did not spot any DVNR by viewing the set in motion, i'm personally always unsure how accurate its to inspect cartoons frame by frame for these issues as nobody watch cartoons that way. You could probably inspect every every blu-ray/DVD relese so fair on animation or Live-action and by frame by frame analyst you could probably find a fault in every blu-ray/DVD release if you looked hard enough. Other than that its unfortunate if the original crew had to lose their jobs because of the pandemic. But the studio executives are always more than happy to screw over the folks on the floor to preserve the bottom line so its worth mentioning but Warner is also in the hot water for moving every major film of 2020 and 2021 release to HBO MAX (but thats another story).
...what are you talking about? How is it not a big deal anymore? The majority of 21 Tex Avery cartoons are butchered on what was to be their first high-quality release on Blu-ray.

Unless of course Jerry comes on Stu Show next weeks and tells diffrent story I don't see any reason to get worked up over this yet. Yes, its bad when folks are lose their jobs over the pandemic but its happening all over the world, various industries.
