A DVD box set called "The Essential Laurel and Hardy Collection" was released in 2011. The films on it look better than they've ever looked before, but they're still far from looking as pristine as the Columbia Three Stooges films. The Laurel and Hardy DVD set is still a must for anyone who appreciates all-time great comedy.
Fortunately, the 190 short films made by the Three Stooges at Columbia have been beautifully preserved. The original negatives have been kept in pristine condition, and they're still owned by Columbia. The Laurel and Hardy films, however, have changed hands numerous times through the decades, and the studio in which they were made closed down decades ago.
