You know we never get to know what this guy name?
A hatred for the past and everything it represents
History didn't happen if there's no proof.
The reality despite OP's and other people's panic is that it is highly likely they're shopping around for other streamers (ie Amazon, Netflix, Tubi, etc) who are willing to pay WB to stream Looney Tunes cartoons for them.
Don't believe me? Santa Inc was purged from Max, people thought that was the last we'd see of it, but the reality was Tubi was willing to pay WB to stream it on their own site. Don't be surprised if the removed Looney Tunes cartoons show up somewhere else.
This
For example, Netflix LatAm just added The Looney Tunes Show (2011) to their catalog
No it's just to save money as it costs a lot of money to maintain shows on streaming services. So as the streaming bubble bursts shows are just cutting everything that isn't in the top 10 viewership anymore
sad because when HBO Max first launched it had a huge catalog and was better than any other streaming service
>as it costs a lot of money to maintain shows on streaming services
Literally fricking how?
They sit there on a server stack that needs replaced every year or two.
They're not
Didn't they cut every Looney Tune aired after 1950 though. Still are some solid ones there before the 60s went to shit
Judge Doom won the war
Mickeychads win again
>well over 200 Walt-era Disney shorts
>only about 5% of them are on Disney+
Yo ho ho he took a bite of gum gum
That WBD buyout was a big mistake.
They're gonna sell WB next april anyway
But Cinemaphile assured me that Zaslav would save western animation from the wokes!!!
Not at all you moron. 99% of them are still avaliable on DVD and the rest are still circulating online.
Stop calling shit Lost Media when you can easily find it.
Better yet stop calling shit lost media.
"X Media that exists on other places removed from streaming service is now lost media" is a stupid Twitter meme.
Absolutely nothing like lost media. They're just coming off the service, they could be back soon or they might license them to another service. They're literally releasing some on bd in a couple weeks with plans for more. I swear to fricking god if just one of you dumb fricks tries to say they're a tax write off
>lost media
Uhhm. I'm pretty sure it isn't.
Shit replies to a shit thread. Do you actually think OP said that seriously?
If you're telling a joke, get to it.
Why are you saying that to me?
And you're a homosexual
How the frick is a series of shorts that have been available in mulitple forms BEFORE Streaming suddenly considered lost just because it got taken off a streaming service?
only like a tenth of them were on max anyway
a bit unrelated, but since a lot of you seem like fans of collecting classic cartoons:
what are the recommended ways of collecting old non-wb cartoons? are there box sets of the complete walter lantz? complete disney? screen gems, columbia, UPA, terrytoons or harvey?
I think the Disney short releases were grouped by character and mostly in order, the problem is they're OOP and expensive as frick.
>Disney
The
The Walt Disney Treasures Sets. Theyre oop but you can get almost all of the used for around $30 each
>Upa
UPA Jolly Frolics and the Mr Magoo Complete Theatrical Collection DVDs
>Lantz
Woody Woodpecker Classic Collection Vol 1 and 2
>Famous studios (Harveytoons)
There is an OOP Harveytoons set from a decade ago. There is also a complete Caspar collection DVD and a Noveltoons Bluray
>Terrytoons
there's a semi-official youtube channel that has almost all of the studio's shorts https://www.youtube.com/@TerryToons
>got rid of over 200 episodes of classic sesame street
>not getting rid of all wb cartoons
Meant now.
It's obviously an attempt for more tax writeoffs.
they wouldnt permanently write off cash cows that big
if anything they sold an exclusivity deal to someone else for some period of time

China, IL, Delocated and Eagleheart are getting delisted too
Frisky Dingo and the first two seasons of 12 oz. Mouse too
Delocated was fricking great and Eagleheart was way better than I expected.
No seriously, is there a torrent or Mega for these shorts? I ain’t signing up for Boomerang when I can just save all of them to my hard drive.
https://archive.org/details/2022ltmmever
Quality varies, but that's pretty much all of them.
>463 cartoons
Dare I?
Who dares?
Yeah, I just noticed that. There should be a couple hundred more, I don't now how to access the rest.
Bro, that's not even close to complete and only goes up to some point in the 1940s. There was another archive playlist that had literally everything,, around 1000 shorts all in chronological order, until some trolling homosexual decided to DMCA it a few months ago.
Boomer toons should be public domain by now anyway. WB should just dump it on archive.org and be done with it.
You can literally search up any episode online and watch it right now. Looney Tunes is not "lost media"
That’s not what lost media means you fricking idiot. All fields.
Well you need to make server space for new products. Remember, these cartoons are just a product, they aren't art.
Oh shut up
But i'm right, if anyone who worked on these shorts heard you considered it art, they'd laugh at you while explaining how it's just a product to be sold.
It hold so value and just takes up space for new animators to make a name for themselves
I know OP is joking but
>DVDs still in print
>New Blu-rays are being released every few months
>Shorts air multiple hours a day on multiple cable channels
If that's what passes for "lost" these days then goddamn this series is lucky
>shorts air multiple hours a day
for me, it's only at 7am in the morning on the boomer-centric network MeTV. I'm not sure what else shows it.
Boomerang airs them three hours a day, 5am-6am and 1pm-3pm
Does it? I stopped paying attention to Boomerang since they rebranded and just spammed Teen Titans and We Bare Bears all day
Yep, this is the weekday Boomerang schedule. Mostly classic shows, no Titans or Bears in sight
I always liked the idea of Boomerang but it unironically suffered a lot from being too bloated with Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry and so on back in the day and that still seems to be the case.
Don't get me wrong those are all fricking great but the roster was 33% Looney Tunes and 33% T&J when Cartoon Network was *Still fricking airing* the later as reruns back in the late 2000s through to the mid-2010s. They were probably overairing Scooby Doo as well for time periods where you could count on a solid block of basically every Scooby Doo show other than 13 Ghosts getting at least an hour to itself in the morning>
And like look at that line up. You have fricking Captain Planet and Powerpuff and all this other shit and it's just 99% Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes. Both of those were pretty frequently aired and in physical form were NEVER hard to find and still really aren't. Scooby Doo was a little harder sometimes depending on the series in specific but regularly had current runners and reruns until like 2015 or so, and sure some of the other Hanna Barbera were rarer, but honest to god would it fricking kill them to air some of the actually difficult to find shit or some of the action shows in a solid bloc from time to time.
I could forgive it if they cycle through something that they bloat it with every season or so.
Tom & Jerry during the summer, Scooby Doo in the fall, and something for spring and winter.
It was one of the things that made me uninterested in Boomerang when I was younger. Like sure I could enjoy a good classic Looney Tunes short for a laugh but to 12 or so year old me that shit was fricking filler on par with Sponegbob and other cartoons for real little kids. I wanted shit like Captain Planet or He-Man and all the old cartoons I knew existed but had only ever gotten like one or two episodes of by the time I was actually fricking cognizant.
Do you live outside the US? This actually looks like a good schedule. Shame I don't get boomerang anymore.
>Tom and Jerry
>Looney Tunes
>Scooby Doo
People pay to spend a whole day watching CN's time slot filler shows?
>Streaming is the futu-
Good, most of them sucked.
You're not an interesting person.
You mean aside from all the people that own physical versions? Or the fact that all of the shorts were uploaded years ago?
Even if this was true that doesn't make it lost media. you don't know what you're even talking about.
If you think it's going to be lost, Mega the whole thing so we can hold onto it.
>billions of copies in any dollar store and bodega
>trillions of old vhs records and recorded files to pacify kids all over the world
>internet sites liek kiss cartoons, torrents, and over all cyber packrats that hoards terras of stupid shit on hard drives
>OMG LOST MEDIA IT'S OVER
Jesus christ I hate castrated reditors like these so goddamn much.

Huh, I think those drawings weren't posted online yet. The concept art looks very nice.
