Warner Archive Collection: February 2026 Blu-ray Releases; ‘Mogambo’, ‘Loopy De Loop: The Complete Collection’ & More

warner archive february 2026, blu ray, releasesThe Warner Archive Collection has unveiled their lineup of Blu-ray releases for February 2026. February sees a smaller lineup than usual due to what WAC refers to as a significant delay in the completion of restoration work and mastering due to the scheduling conflicts exacerbated by the recent Holiday break according to Warner Archive who intended nearly double the releases scheduled, but they ensure that they will be getting back to a strong offering of new releases each month beginning with the March announcement. February will see 4 new Blu-ray releases scheduled to be released on February 24, 2026 which include ‘Mogambo’, ‘Loopy De Loop: The Complete Collection’ and a couple others. As always full details and artwork for each title is included below, along with the studio’s full message regarding the delays.

A MESSAGE FROM JACK L. WARNER ABOUT THE WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION’S FEBRUARY RELEASES:
Our February release slate has several exciting new releases arriving on Blu-ray discs, of which we are very proud. However, this month’s offerings are but half of what we had hoped to bring to our loyal customers for February. The problem here was a significant delay in the completion of restoration work and mastering, mostly due to scheduling conflicts exacerbated by the recent holiday break. While the February slate is compromised by a fewer number of releases, we are proud of what that limited slate contains, and look forward to getting back to a strong offering of new releases each month, beginning with our next announcement for March. We thank you in advance for your understanding, and appreciate your continued support of the Warner Archive Collection.

“Hey! A kangaroo,” Eloise “Honey Bear” Kelly says when she sees a baby rhinoceros being lifted from an African pit. A Broadway showgirl stranded in the African jungle; Eloise is more suited for the urban jungle. Yet one look at safari guide Victor Marswell and Eloise knows exactly where she wants to be. Times change but the fun remains when Clark Gable portrays the virile Victor in this sassy, vibrant remake of Gable’s 1932 hit Red Dust. Ava Gardner is at her most glamorous, despite the location, playing tough-hided, vulnerable hearted Eloise. And Grace Kelly us the prim anthropologist’s wife who catches Victor’s roving eye. Both women earned Oscar® nominations, with Kelly also winning a Supporting Actress Golden Globe for her performance. Directed by the legendary John Ford and filled with Ford’s lung-swelling zest for the great outdoors, Mogambo shines anew having been meticulously restored directly from 4K scans of the original Technicolor negatives especially for this Warner Archive Blu-ray release.

STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR (1940)
MSRP $24.98
BD-50
B&W
64 Minutes
NOT RATED
Aspect Ratio: 16×9 1.37:1 with side mattes
Audio: DTS-HD MA 2.0 MONO
Subtitles: ENGLISH SDH

Directed by Boris Ingster

Cast: Peter Lorre, John McGuire, Maragaret Tallichet

SPECIAL FEATURES: Three episodes of Peter Lorre starring in the classic radio series MYSTERY OF THE AIR: BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL, CRIME AND PUNSHMENT, and MASK OF MEDUSA.

Critics and fans agree: Stranger on the Third Floor is the little B picture that launched one of the greatest movements in cinema history: Film Noir. Peter Lorre plays the eerie title role in this once-neglected gem about a reporter (John McGuire) whose testimony sentences a small-time loser (Elisha Cook, Jr.) to the electric chair for murder. When the reporter himself is fingered in a second murder, he realizes both crimes are the work of a furtive stranger – but will anyone believe him? All the shadowy, shivery, angled angst of German expressionism is here, married to the hard-boiled ambiguity that marks the genre. The highlight: a suspense-and-sweat-drenched dream sequence that jolted 1940 audiences into an exciting new way of looking at the movies. This new Warner Archive Blu-ray release has been remastered directly from 4K scans of the feature’s original nitrate camera negative. This “stranger” never looked so good!

Loopy De Loop is a French-Canadian wolf with a mission- to change the bad image that people have of wolves and make them appreciated as warm and generous fellow creatures. Not an easy job, even for a loup as charming as Mssr. Loopy, and the poor fellow is usually rewarded with a terrified cry of “Help!” and a clout on his head. But hope springs eternal in the heart of this unsavage beast as he tries to undo wolf’s big, bad image by rendering aid and assistance to the likes of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Little Bo Beep, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, D’Artagnan, Dr. Jekyll and more to injurious and hilarious results. Following their initial success with THE HUCKLEBERRY HOUND SHOW on television, Hanna-Barbera created the Loopy de Loop cartoons for theatrical release through Columbia Pictures. These animated antics were highly popular on the big screen where they delighted audiences of all ages for six years. Loopy is (of course) voiced by the legendary Daws Butler, with other treasured vocal artists also contributing to their talents to these shorts including Don Messick and June Foray. Now, newly remastered from 4K scans of their original camera negatives, all forty-eight of Loopy’s animated antics are contained in this complete collection, so get ready to cry, “Sacre-iliac!”

TARZAN AND HIS MATE (1934)
MSRP $24.98
BD-50
Running Time: 105 Minutes
B&W
Aspect Ratio: 16×9 1.37:1 with side mattes
Audio: DTS-HD MA 2.0 MONO
Subtitles: ENGLISH SDH
Directed by W.S. Van Dyke
Cast: Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O’Sullivan, Neil Hamilton, Paul Cavanagh

SPECIAL FEATURES: Classic M-G-M shorts “THE SPECTACLE MAKER” and “WHAT PRICE JAZZ”, and the Original Theatrical Trailer.

Hail, Tarzan and his Mate, the second (and widely considered the best) of the six M-G-M Johnny Weissmuller/Maureen O’Sullivan Tarzan feature films. But when the Hays office looked at the original version of the film, out came the scissors. And out (snip!) went a semi-nude morning swim, out (snip!) went the topless tribal women, out (snip, snip!) went warfare action and more. This edition of Tarzan and his Mate contains the long-censored moments-and recaptures the original vision of the Lord of the Apes’ life and love life. The story picks up a few years after 1932’s Tarzan the Ape Man. Tarzan (Weissmuller) has been living for several years with the Englishwoman Jane Parker (O’Sullivan), but now Jane’s former fiancé, Martin Arlington (Paul Cavanagh), comes to the jungle hoping to use her to find the legendary elephants’ graveyard–and its fabled treasure of ivory. Arlington’s arrogance and greed, however, lead to his gruesome death. Now, Tarzan races across the jungle, calling his friends, the elephants, to help save Jane from the same grisly fate.
