what d'ya think'll be split for GC Vol. 5?

[speedy fast]

The first four Golden Collectiosn each featured a previous production that was split into two parts and put on two seperate discs of the golden collection. I think The Boys From Termite Terrace was originally a two-part special, but I'm not sure. Now, there have been hour-long (or longer) features that weren't split, but I am wondering what you think might be split into two parts.

I have a feeling that Happy Birthday Bugs might get split into two parts. Other options are How Bugs Bunny Won the West and Toonheads: The Wartime Cartoons.

If I recall correctly, "How Bugs Bunny Won the West" was only a half-hour show, and strangely had live-action connecting footage, with very little new animation, including a scene where after tossing the can up, Bugs shoots corks into the holes Yosemite Sam shot into a can, replacing the scene where Bugs shoots Sam in the face. and I think there was an animated scene for the show's title.

Very true!!! The live-action was of actor Denver Pyle acting as narrator. The best new animation sequence though was the closer, with Bugs slowly riding his horse off into the sunset whilst singing "Home On The Range" (ala the old musical-westerns), it really is a nice moment! The special was directed by Jim Davis, late of 'Fox and Crow':fox::crow: comic fame and a host of classic-era cartoon studios (including Warners and Fleischers).

On the set they include "Confederate Honey" on, they might want to include the entire "Gone With The Wind" as an extra, so they'll probably split the movie several times over several Golden Collections. They might decide to do the same with "The Vikings" (for "Prince Violent"), and the Burgess Meridith version of "Of Mice And Men" (for "Hoppy Go Lucky").

Nah, that'd probably be overkill (plus it would eat up a lot of disc space that could be used for more LT-germane features). What they could do is Just give those cartoons Behind-the-tunes features (and in the Case of Honey, tons of Disclaimers to put the Un-PC stereotypes into context)

It would be better (and perhaps more logical) if done the other way around.

I agree with Speedy, that is a much more logical idea and confederate honey would still be included...

I think Harry Love need too to be mentionned in the next Volume 5. Life Raymond Scott this year! ;) Well, that's just an idea

Harry Love wasn't really that important to WB's legacy. He was primarily an effects animator which is still a vital role to a cartoon but not to the degree where they would have him profiled. In other words, the "effects animator" is basically a "background supporter" for animation more than anything else (which is primarily why Love was only credited once in a while, i.e. for cartoons that had more effects animation than usual which would be enough to warrant him a credit).

In terms of profiles, I wouldn't mind seeing one of some of the character animators such as Virgil Ross, Ken Harris, Ben Washam, or Rod Scribner. People talk about these individuals quite a bit and I would love to learn just a little more about these talented people! :D

[Bugsmer]

I was kidding, guys. "Gone With The Wind" is about four hours long. All I did was take the reverse of the WB Movies DVDs. Although it's easy to include a cartoon on a DVD with a movie, it's completely nonsensical to do it the other way around. That is, with current technologies.:tweety:

Matt and all~

Well that's essentially true. BUUUUUUT a number of times in the Forties Harry Love was indeed a FULL-fledged animator at Schlesinger and Warners!!:eek: Harry claimed that he'd come and gone about ten times (almost certainly that's exaggerated). But he quit just one-too-many times, and when he came back the next time he found that only the effects animator's position was open! Thus was born A.C. ("Ace") Gamer's replacement.:cool:

Now WHICH 1940's Warner's cartoons Harry was a full animator on is the great unknown... Gentleman, start your analyzing!!!:p (I know of ONE period for sure:)).
With both Love and Gamer having previously been full-animators profiles would likely be more interesting than you might think.;)

So, where did Ace end up? Was he doing TV?

I'll leave it to the experts. I wouldn't know what to look for.
