The Golden Collections have quite a bit of artifacting from compression and DVNR. They tried to put too much on each disc.

A good clue would be whether they were screening film prints or HD digital transfers.

I did a screening at the Egyptian myself. Organizers are free to create their own programs. It doesn't reflect any intent on the part of the studios.

Not a chance. They don't even want to release those kind of cartoons in collections with completely different contexts (Tom & Jerry, Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, etc.) What makes you think that they would gather them all together into a package whose context is focused specifically on the cartoons...

Watch half of it be double dips except for the Buddy super chunk.

If you want a reason to get the blu-ray for cartoons you already have on DVD, pull out your DVD and put on One Froggy Evening. Skip forward to the scene where the crowd rushed past the camera and still frame on it. That scene is absolutely perfect on the blu-ray. On DVD, it's a hot mess.

The reason these cartoons have fallen off the radar of families with children is because the people who made these cartoons are dead and gone. Current day programming directors and network executives can't take credit for back catalog, so promoting them does nothing to further their careers...

They marketed these to OCD movie collectors, not young families with kids. If they had packaged them in a kid friendly way with a variety of cartoons grouped into hour or half hour long "programs" on a basic theme and priced them as a sell through, they would have sold a lot of them. But...

The way they laid out the cartoons on some of the Golden Collection discs is abysmal. A whole disc full of Speedy Gonzales cartoons! No one could sit through that. Originally, these cartoons were intended to be seen one at a time along with a feature. Organizing them into huge "super chunks" of...

That is the only time in my life that I've heard Sniffles cartoons described as essential.

The ones that are duplicated in the blu-ray sets are either the generally accepted "classics" or they are cartoons that were mangled by DVNR or interlacing issues on DVD. Duplication doesn't matter though because animation in HD looks much better than on DVD. Pretty much all of the extras from...
