Great News! I hope these are the same restored versions that Cabin
Fever released years back, I wonder if they will include the Leonard
Maltin intros.

The Cabin Fever remasters were done 14 years ago. Hopefully these are even
newer hi-def transfers? Does anyone have any insight?

Yeah I know - not holding my breath.

Even if they're the 1994 transfers, only the first 12 volumes of the VHS
series were "officially" released on DVD. Keep hope alive!

Now let's get the other Roach talkies remastered and released.

Here's to wishful thinking.

Here is the info for this set and, it seems to be an all new job.

Looks as though there will be commentary on selected films and other
stuff too.

---------------------------------------------------------------
The hunt for those seemingly countless LITTLE RASCALS releases is over. For
the first time ever, all 80 of Hal Roach's original 1929-1938 classic shorts
featuring Buckwheat, Spanky, Alphalpha, and the rest of Our Gang--from the
era before Roach sold the rights to MGM--are available here in one package.
Included among this complete collection of uncut, remastered, and restored
episodes are numerous contributions of various types from noted film
historians, an additional 10 silent shorts from Hal Roach's personal
library, several documentaries including a look at racism as it pertains to
the show, a special "where are they now" update featuring some of the
surviving cast members, and much more.

Not that we need them, but it looks like the only thing we lose from the
earlier set is the Leonard Maltin intros.
