These films look and sound stunning in HD. Now t
he only exception to this is Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf and Yogi and the Invasion of the Space Bears. These films were produced using an early form of digital ink and paint. These two films have been up-converted from their original SD masters to HD. So, every effort made to improve the visual quality of the programs. Even though they are not perfect, these transfers are still pretty nice.

Now in addition beautiful looking film transfers. Warner Archive added two additional 50 minute cartoons.
 Scooby goes to Hollywood (1979) and Yogi's Ark Land (1973) The pilot for the series that would be Yogi's Gang. 

This is an epic Blu-ray set! This set includes two Blu-ray cases with 5 discs each. Part One has Yogi Bear on the from cover, while disc 2 has Judy Jetson on the front cover.
