You heard me. Vote.
I go with the original titles, even though the missing scenes in "Castles" are very, very close.

I'd be most eager to see the cartoons with restored, original titles, then the missing footage from "Castles" and "Glory," then the commentaries, then the bonus cartoons.

Definitely the restored original titles. I'd love to see a print of "Book Revue" in which "revue" is actually spelled r-e-v-u-e, for example. The restored print of "Back Alley Oproar" sounds good too.
I hope I'm not setting my hopes too high here but I'd like to see as many restored "Blue Ribbon" prints as possible. The BR re-issues are such a nuisance, especially to the cartoons' most die-hard fans (like me for one:p ).

I voted for the bonus cartoons, since the thing I'm excited about most is the restored and splice-free "Adventures of the Road Runner" featurette being on the DVD. I'm curious about "Daffy Duck For President" too. But I look forward to pretty much everything on there, it looks like it will be a great set. :cool:

For most majority of the world, the restored negatives. Also honorable mention for the bonus shorts. :) :daffy: :D

Commentaries.
With bonus cartoons (bugs bunny shows) at #2.
Well if it was any one thing it would have to be the 60 restored cartoons. It brings us to over 10% of all the LT/MMs restored and available on DVD...

I'm most interested in seeing the cartoons themselves restored and UN-CUT, but also in the interviews and behind the scenes info.

Probably the Bob Clampett featurette. Then the lost footage from "Castles", and "Glory".

I couldn't vote, because I'm split between the lost footage and the restored original titles. Still doesn't mean I'm not revved-up to see everything else!:)

I was re-reading the voting, and it just hit me; I didn't know that "Old Glory" has lost footage. Anyone can tell me what was missing from this cartoon?

-Emmanuel:bosko:"Old Glory" is going to have its original ending for its DVD release, even though the opening is still a BR.
In the BR closing, there's a fade out during the final shot of the American flag, which leads to the "That's All, Folks" orange ring card. The original ending was probably a special end notice imposed over the shot of the moving flag. (Like how "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs", "The Major Lied 'Til Dawn" and "Two Crows From Tacos" have special endings involving transitional content in the cartoon.)

The restored negatives...
With half of the cartoons in the set being former AAP cartoons, it'll be neat to finally get rid of the dupey and faded looks. Also, I can't wait to see a crisper and cleaner Adventures of the Roadrunner.

What do I want to watch the most?
That DVD set going into my hands from the store's shelf.
Second would be the restored prints, especially the original titles. "Adventures of the Road Runner" will be interesting just to see what all the excitement is about.
I thought the footage taken from "Have You Got Any Castles" happened on the BR-release. If that footage has been made available, what happened to the original titles to the cartoon? Was an original print found without them?

Well, the first commentary I want to watch is Bill Melendez's on The Big Snooze.
I also want to know if Bill has answer to Bugs's missing line at the end of the cartoon.
But, I want to watch the original titles first.
Hey, anyone wonder if the cut pig/crocodile scene in baby Bottleneck will be restored?

Can't I just watch all of it?
Seriously, everything entices me. Commentaries, restored titles and footage, bonus cartoons, "Bugs Bunny Show" bridging sequences, "The Adventures of the Road Runner", "Daffy Duck for President", documentaries, all of it. But the documentary I'll undoubtedly watch first is the one on Treg Brown. The man doesn't get enough credit (for crying out loud, he did the sound effects and they called him "Film Editor" in the opening credits), and I hope they might show how some of his trademark noises were made. That'd be worth it if I could see the trombone gobble actually performed on a trombone, as well as possible footage of Bob Clampett doing his "boink" and "bayowhup".

I'm really just looking forward to the whole thing! I voted for the new prints of the cartoons themselves, but I'm exited about the "old gold" in this collection (more Clampett). I'm trying not to get my hopes up about blue ribbon removal. Whatever we get - we get!

I voted for the missing footage probably because "Have You Got Any Castles?" will be the first thing I watch. However, the rest is of equal importance to me.:speedy:

The cartoons themselves. Some of these I haven't seen in years.

I would watch the cartoons with their restored original titles first, followed by the cartoons with reinstated missing footage.

Like everyone else, the cartoons! I'd especially like to see Book Revue, The Big Snooze, Kitty Kornered* and Baby Bottleneck restored... can't wait until November!
(I forgot he cartoon list so I'll ask, will there be any Tashlin?)
*that one will be in Vol. 2, right?

As far as I know, "Have You Got Any Castles?" will be included and that is indeed a Tashlin cartoon. Also, that appears to be the only one.
I really wish Tashlin got more exposure on this DVD series. "Porky Pig's Feat", for example, is one short I'd simply love to see on DVD.
