Another month, and another Hanna-Barbera title makes its way to Blu-Ray. Yesterday, WB announced that the original Wacky Races will be coming to Blu-Ray April 29th. Like the other Hanna-Barbera Blu-Ray releases, it will be based off 4K scans of the original negatives. The show will be spread across two discs as well. At the moment, we don't know what extras will be included, but I'm willing to bet they will simply carry over the special features from prior DVD releases.
Out of all the Hanna-Barbera shows announced for Blu-Ray recently, this one was definitely not a shock. Wacky Races has been airing in all its restored glory since MeTV Toons launched last June, so it was only a matter of time before it would come to Blu-Ray. It's a little disappointing that they didn't go ahead and package this series with its spin-offs, but it's no dealbreaker, at least for me. Wacky Races is probably my favorite Hanna-Barbera series from the late sixties, so I'm excited for this one. Hopefully after this release, they'll start to fill in some of the gaps from their early catalog.
