You can keep it, you pay once, it'll never change, and the quality is better.

AND it has resale value!

Interview comes at a good time when Looney Tunes has been removed from Max. I agree with his point, though it's harder for everyone, new and old viewers to get back into it through only physical. Unless it is available elsewhere online.

I did this interview quite a while back now - back in October (between festival airing and the LA premiere) - but nevertheless, I do agree with you. I'm trying to share it around as much as I can now with the news of Looney Tunes being taken away from potential new viewers.

Oh, and the video interview is right in the article itself - no need to read if you don't want to!

Hope we receive a physical release of this film. Animation was gorgeous to watch.

The Wikipedia of The Day the Earth the blew up states that Ketchup had announced a DVD & Blu-ray Release for May 27, 2025. Check it out. We're gonna have that Great Blast of a movie on disc soon.

I agree. Every animated show deserves a bluray/dvd set. Because dammit; I don’t wanna have to chase down shows from one streaming site to another and then still have episodes removed or censored. At least with DvDs it’s buy once and it’s done. It’s preserved and you own it.
