From what Jerry said, the "hate" part isn't going to be included in the DVD.

I didn't mean the DVD set, I was refering to a book that's coming out about the studio who's initials are H-B.

And for anyone who did not listen to the interview here is the part about the new DVD.

Jerry: I have just convinced them to at least try to put out a Woody Woodpecker and friends DVD the right way, uncut, restored and, not only that, I've gone even further than I thought I would with them. It's going to come out in summer, in June, actually in July and it's going to have like the first forty-five Woody Woodpeckers, which are the good ones, you know, all the 1940s ones where he's really crazy. And then we're going to have these classic four Tex Avery cartoons that Avery did in the 50s are going to be on here. We're going to have some 1930s Oswalds and Pooch the Pup and we're going to have some of the 1940s Swing Symphony cartoons. So it's going to be a real rounded package. It's going to have about seventy-five cartoons on it and it's--I was totally programmed that if they never put out anything again, then all the ones I really want them to restore and to make available will be there and I think everyone will go with me on that, I think you'll trust me on that, that these are the ones you really want.

Sounds like this could be a great DVD.

Hurray!
I want to buy it now. The early Woodys are great. I'd love to see the Swing Symphonys restored (though I can bet some titles won't make the cut ) The 30s stuff will be interesting for curiosity's sake as I've never seen them.
