The Golden Age Of Looney Tunes Ld Artwork

[dnestorjr]

Does anyone have scans of the artwork (Front & Back) for any or all 5 Vol. of Golden Age of Looney Tunes?

I think you may have a tough time finding these, as the box art is bigger than a home scanner bed.

surely someone has figured out a way to get this artwork. I will patiently wait

Hmmm....

Haven't you tried e-Bay?

A lot of times, there are scans of the box art for a bunch of LD's that are up for sale...

This particular box you might have a hard time finding scanned art for.

It supposedly had the lowest print fun of all the Looney Tunes LD boxsets and was released towards the end of the LD days in the US. At that point in time (circa 1996/1997), many people started to dump their LD players and LD collections little-realizing that it would take YEARS for many of the films they collected on LD and in boxsets to show up on DVD.

Look how long we all waited for a decent Looney Tunes set to show up DVD (2003)!

In all fairness to DVD, laserdisc was developed in the 1970s, marketed heavily in the early 1980s but really didn't catch on with dedicated collectors boxsets until the early 1990s. That was on the order of a FULL TEN TO TWELVE YEARS before laserdisc animation boxsets started popping up all over the place beginning in 1991/1992. A lot of LD boxsets showed up literally within the 5 years before (1992) before the beginning of the end for LD (1996-1997, when DVD arrived in urban markets).

The last American-produced LD was supposedly pressed in the US in 2001... the format didn't begin to totally die out in Japan until the PS2, then the cheapest DVD-playback device in Japan, came out in late 2000/early 2001(?). It took Japan a few more years to reach DVD mass-market and completely kill off LD (the last LD players were made in Japan in 2003 or 2004) than the US due to price disparity in software and players in Japan. It's just not as cheap to buy many bconsumer electronics and movie software in Japan... The same movie DVD that you can buy in the US for $15 the first week it's out can cost at least $38-$45 in Japan. Even a lot of anime is better-priced and a much deal (in terms of total content, running time) in the US than it is in Japan.
