What fantastic news. The Looney Tunes Platinum Collection included most of Avery's best cartoons but they were in SD, and there were a few favorites missing, most notably Little Rural RIding Hood and The Peachy Cobbler. Hopefully those will be included here!

Well I'm certainly appreciative to everyone who bought the Popeye releases so we could get this.

Makes sense, given Warner Bros.' forthcoming remake of Victory from House of Wax director Jaume Collet-Serra.

He starts shooting
Black Adam this summer, so that remake may not happen anytime soon, unless WB hires someone else to make it.

Seriously, has the person in charge of picking these titles ever seen a movie?

At least today brings
one thing I'll likely pre-order:
Restored in 2019 by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Film Archive and The Film Foundation in association with the Samuel Goldwyn Jr. Family Trust. Restoration funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation.
DODSWORTH (1936)
Run Time 101:00
Subtitles English SDH
Audio Spec DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 - English
Aspect Ratio 1.37:1, 4 X 3 FULL FRAME
Product Color BLACK & WHITE
Disc Configuration BD 50
Based on the best-selling novel by Sinclair Lewis, this “handsome, intelligent film” (Los Angeles Times) garnered seven Academy Award® nominations, winning one*, and is “one of the authentic masterpieces of the 1930s” (Filmex Guide). Sam Dodsworth (Walter Huston) is a small-town rags-to-riches millionaire who finds that his money cannot bring him happiness. His unsatisfied wife, Fran (Ruth Chatterton), seeking glamour and sophistication, persuades him to take her on a grand tour of Europe, where she promptly deserts him for a romantic but penniless baron. Brokenhearted, Sam meets Edith (Mary Astor), an understanding widow who arouses passions he never thought he had and sets him on a collision course with his wife, unleashing a torrent of desire, betrayal and shocking revelations.

My wife will be thrilled about
Beau Brummell. As am I, because it’s an easy birthday/wedding anniversary present for her and she’ll stop banging on about Indicator picking up the rights (which they can’t, as it’s Warner Bros).

Congrats on your new job with Warner Archives, MichaelB!
I’m no Dodsworth fan (it’s hamstrung by being two steps removed from Lewis’ novel), but I know many here and elsewhere are and at least that title could be called a classic of some sort, so that announce at least gets no derision from me

It was my first Wyler and I was less than in love with it then, but it was veeeery early in my discovery of studio-era Hollywood, so I'm curious to revisit it now. And at this point I'm just buying all the Wyler in vain hope they'll take a hint and release The Little Foxes.

The Little Foxes has been out in Spain for a few months (titled "La Loba"), courtesy of Sony ES. As to why it is a Sony release instead of a Warner one, I haven't got a clue.

The Little Foxes was a Samuel Goldwyn production, so it was probably among the titles that Goldwyn Jr. sold off in the '90s and eventually became part of the MGM catalog. So it wouldn't be a Warner release (despite RKO being the original distributor), but I don't know why Sony released it in Spain. Do they distribute MGM titles there?

Warner re-released it on dvd right about the time they acquired the rights to other Goldwyn productions, like Wuthering Heights and Guys and Dolls.

I stand corrected. That said, it doesn't seem like Warner owns them outright (they're not listed on their site for U.S. theatrical bookings and Park Circus has them available for booking worldwide with the studio listed as "Samuel Goldwyn," unlike WB-owned titles that are listed under "Warner" and are only available for non-U.S. bookings). So there are probably territories where other distributors have the video rights.

When Warner acquired the rights to the Samuel Goldwyn titles back in 2012, The Little Foxes was listed on the press release (
https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8459). I don't know if they own the titles though.

The long OOP Tom & Jerry Golden Collection Vol. 1 is
being re-released by WAC on March 17th. Could mean nothing, or it could mean Vol. 2 has finally been given the okay, especially since the "Vol 1" is being retained...
