I'm surprised they could get the rights to Spaceballs, but not The Producers or Life Stinks, which are also in MGM's catalogue. And I see Fox is still conveniently ignoring Dracula: Dead and Loving It. :P

Will these be out separately? I already have "Spaceballs" on BD; but would especially love to see "To Be or Not to Be" in high-def. You haven't seen anything until you've seen Mel and Anne Bancroft sing "Sweet Georgia Brown" in Polish! :D

I'm surprised Blazing Saddles hasn't been banned yet. :lol:

"It's good to be the king!" And it's great that Mel Brooks' films are finally hitting the HD format! Still, how/when did Fox/MGM get the rights to Blazing Saddles?

I think it is a deal with Warner, the DVD box set included Blazing Saddles as well. In fact, it sounds like it's the same box set, except Blu.
