The eBay sellers who are getting $150 a pop for this set are going to add me to their to-kill lists, but never mind.
Yep, the French DVD release of (almost) all of Tex Avery's cartoons is video incompetency at its finest. Whoever was in
charge of the DVNR'd cartoons on this one deserves a serious boot up the derrière.
There are plenty of other video problems with this set (although the cartoons that are done properly do look great) which
I talked about in a news post but the focus of this page is the obnoxious and totally lazy
hap-hazard use of DVNR.
"Farm of Tomorrow" is completely goosed, "The Car of Tomorrow" isn't quite as bad, and "Who Killed Who" is pretty
badly done too. On with the pictures...
Tsk tsk. The only thing more offensive in these modern days than a racial charicature is
one without lines! Only kidding.
I appreciate how hard it must be restoring old cartoons. I'm not totally against the use of a system that helps
out by removing some of the more obnoxious film defects automatically - it's the quality control I'm so mad at.
Would it be too hard to restore the scenes that the DVNR hardware/software messes up by hand - or to just go back
and lower the intensity it operates at?
Guess what's being sent back to Amazon France for a refund!
