The folks at Warner Archive have always done a good job in bringing Hanna-Barbera titles to DVD and Blu-Ray, but they've really been on fire this year. This February saw the Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 films released both as a box set and individually on Blu-Ray, and we've gotten several of the early Scooby-Doo direct-to-video films as well. It doesn't look like WB is slowing down either, as this past Friday, it was announced that Top Cat will be making his long-awaited high-definition debut!
Arriving on August 27th, "Top Cat: The Complete Series" will be the first time the classic series has ever been offered on Blu-Ray. All thirty episodes will be spread across four Blu-Ray discs, and the release also comes with a bevy of special features. Of course, these features were all previously available on the DVD releases, but it's nice that they included them in this one. Some features include audio commentaries on three episodes, classic commercials, and an interview with several of the show's cast members, conducted by the late Earl Kress.
Overall, this looks to be another slamdunk by the Warner Archive crew, and I cannot wait to get my hands on this release. I'm curious as to what series they'll release next on Blu-Ray, though. I'm guessing they'll go with Yogi Bear, but I could very well be wrong. Maybe they'll surprise us and give us a Blu-Ray set of Quick Draw McGraw. Hey, a guy can dream!
