Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

[MuppetDanny]

For Warner Home Video, I worked on a number of Hanna-Barbera DVD sets

Cool! Would you know if Warner has plans to release "The Banana Splits" onto DVD?

Are the new Tom and Jerry cartoons going to televised?

So far they've only been sold in Europe. I hope someone will pick them up to air here.

They were on the schedule at one point, but the films are in such bad shape that they were pulled. Hopefully, after some restoration, they will be put back on the schedule.

We're getting wayyyyyyyyyy off topic here, but since we're already here...

I just finished work on four sets. They are:

Huckleberry Hound: Complete Seasons 1 & 2
Yogi Bear: The Complete Series
The Flintstones: Season 4
Tom and Jerry: Spotlight Collection 2

There are some great extras on these sets, especially on the Huck and Yogi. We reconstructed several of the original shows as they originally aired, complete with interstitial material that hasn't been seen in over 40 years and some in color for the VERY FIRST TIME! (Meaning, they were filmed in color, but never shown that way since most TV's and TV Stations in the late 1950's couldn't broadcast or receive color.) There are Kellogg's cereal commercials, too, which was the original sponsor.

There is also a tribute piece to the great Daws Butler, voices of Huck, Yogi, Dixie, Mr. Jinks, Snagglepuss and a bunch of others. And there is a nice documentary about Hoyt Curtin, who did all the music for Hanna-Barbera for many years.

These are just a few of the highlights.

And no, for you skeptics out there, I don't get any money whether you buy them or not, so my enthusiasm is strictly for the material.

Have you ever considered writing articles about your experiences on the Sesame Street set?

Hmm, I haven't... But I probably should. I've just been dropping little stories here and there around the forum. After I get The Muppet Movie article pulled together, maybe I can work on that.
