I read online that The Mister Magoo Theatrical Collection will be delayed until Fall 2012. The good news is that they have found new and better elements for some of the cartoons. They are going the extra mile to deliver the best prints available. I found the information via the Shout website.

This collection of Mr. Magoo's complete theatrical shorts (that is the ones that were produced for the movie theaters), is a long time coming! It seems every major studio has issued an abundance of there very best animated shorts except for Columbia Pictures, and Paramount Pictures TerryToons Mighty Mouse, Heckly and Jekyll, et al (That's left best alone for now). But anyway Shout! Factory are the folks behind this Magoo release. According to the Cartoon Brew WEBSITE, run by Jerry Beck, these DVDS will include 2 Oscar winners, When Magoo Flew and Magoos's Puddle Jumper, as well rare pencil tests, and audio commentaries by the likes of Emily Hubley, John Canemaker, AND Charles Soloman. According to the book OF MICE AND MAGIC written by Leonard Maltin, there are about 51 Magoo shorts on this collection. Of course the voice of Magoo is by Jim Backus of "Gilligan's Island," fame. Backus worked with some of the greats like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. A talented actor. OH, Magoo you've done it again! This is a can't miss collection! I also heard that 1001 Arabian Nights, a 1959 feature film starring Mr. Magoo will also be featured as an additional bonus.

After years of waiting, Shout! will finally bring to DVD for the first time, the Mr. Magoo Theatrical Collection!!! This 4-Disc set will include all the Mr. Magoo theatrical shorts from 1949-1959, from Ragtime Bear to Terror Faces Magoo. There's rumour that it might even include Magoo's theatrical film 1001 Arabian Nights (of not, you can still buy it through Sony's Screen Classics By Request program). Extras will include commentaries, pencil tests, and more! Your Golden Age cartoon collection won't be complete without this so get yours today!

Alot are probably asking, what happen to thier order. Well, the set has been delayed to late fall but for good reasons; The folks are going the extra mile to restore the cartoons from higher quality source materials (plus newly discovered elements!). In other words, it'll be worth the wait soon. So the item will be back to pre-order soon.
