Anyway, he answer any questions on future DVDs and projects. I for one have many questions for him. If anyone is attending Comic-Con this year then please ask these questions to Jerry Beck:

-Has Disney show any interest in continuing the Disney Treasures line or re-releasng their shorts in new DVD sets?
-Will there be any more Woody Woodpecker DVDs?
-Will Roadrunner make the Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD series next year?
-When will see more Popeye DVDs?
-When will a collection of Gene Deitch Tom and Jerry Shorts surfface?
-Will Paramount release Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown and Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back) on DVD?
-Do you have any interest in making a Peanuts ultimate guide?
-Do you plan to re-release your Pink Panther Ultimate Guide with updated/remastered images/pages, pages devoted to The Return Of The Pink Panther (if you can get rights cleared), The Pink Panther 2, The Pink Panther and Pals and some new pages?
-Are there any other Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera DVD plans?
-Will the other United Artists DePatie/Freleng shorts make their way to DVD soon (despite MGM having financial problems)?

Someone please ask these questions to Jerry Beck if you could on Friday. Thanks in advanced and muchly appreciated.
 
I can't answer anything else myself, but Leonard Maltin has confirmed the Treasures line to be dead. You can probably blame the slow sales on the Zorro sets put out on the line last year(I believe the second season sold out only very recently) on this, as well as the death of Roy Disney. Maybe something similar to the Treasures line will resurface on Blu-Ray in the near future but the DVD line, as far as we know it, is finished.

Not sure about rereleases, though. For all I know, it could happen, but it's worth asking about.
 
Jerry is attending Comic-Con tomorrow so if anyone is attending, please ask some of my questions to him. Thanks in advanced.
 
I have a few questions myself for those attending:

1- Jerry said earlier that a Yogi Bear DVD will be coming out around the same time as the movie does, and if said movie does well, there could be more in store for Hanna-Barbera's properties. What does he necessarily mean, and could this involvle finally getting the rest of The Huckleberry Hound Show on DVD as well as The Quick Draw McGraw Show?
2- He also said earlier that a Golden Collection-like set of DVDs for Tom & Jerry is possible. I haven't bought the Spotlight Collections but I'm considering buying them while they are out for relatively cheap, but what are the plans currently?
3- Is a Tex Avery MGM collection still a possibility?
