But many of these cartoons have been restored -- they're on the Blu-ray Platinum editions. Plus many not yet released to Blu-ray have almost certainly been scanned in HD. They could attach these cost-free to their DCP theatrical releases. How is that a financial issue? Rob is right -- doing this...

Great idea! I would love to see that Looney Tunes rainbow circle filling a big screen again, ahead of the main feature. That might even be enough incentive for me to attend movies I'm on the fence about.

I would rue the day when Bugs Bunny, Tweety and Sylvester, Roadrunner, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig do not register at all with our children. What a sad state of affairs that would be. Do your kids know these characters, or are they already lost except to us in the older generations?
