Looney Tunes - Golden Collection Cusomter reviews:

(Jimmy L., 2009-10-11) These Looney Tunes classics are still hilarious fun, and the excellent Golden Collection sets are like treasure troves for fans. This set (Volume One) is, in my opinion, the very best of them all. It's the best place to start a Looney Tunes collection. If you only own one set, this is the one to get. The Warner Brothers theatrical cartoons (Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies) represent a high point in animation. The cartoons were groundbreaking for their wild humor and off-the-wall style. I'm only an amateur when it comes to animation history, but the cartoons are great and the bonus features are very interesting. The Looney Tunes were originally played before Warner Bros. movies and were later played on television and marketed toward kids. This is how I saw the Looney Tunes growing up. The cartoons, however, were not made with kids in mind, and I am happy to say that they hold up very well with adult viewers. I was a little surprised how FUNNY these fifty- and sixty-year-old cartoons still are. As this is the first Golden Collection set, I believe these 4 discs contain the best mix of Looney Tunes classics of all the sets. Many memorable cartoons from my childhood. Disc One focuses on Bugs Bunny, Disc Two focuses on Porky and Daffy, and the final two discs are a hodge podge of Looney Tunes characters. High points include: "Baseball Bugs" - classic Bugs Bunny baseball cartoon "Rabbit Seasoning" - part 2 of the classic Rabbit Season/Duck Season, Bugs-Daffy-Elmer trilogy "High Diving Hare" - Bugs vs. Yosemite Sam and a high-diving routine; funny stuff "Rabbit of Seville" - Bugs and Elmer in an opera (the one where barber Bugs massages Elmer's head with his toes) "Duck Amuck" - Daffy is at odds with the animator "Drip-Along Daffy" - Daffy as a Wild West gunslinger, Porky as the sidekick "Deduce, You Say" - Daffy and Porky in a Sherlock Holmes/Watson caper "Rabbit Fire" - the first Rabbit Season/Duck Season, Bugs-Daffy-Elmer cartoon "Long-Haired Hare" - Bugs poses as a conductor to exact revenge on an opera singer "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century" - Daffy and Porky as space explorers "Early to Bet" - the Gambling Bug makes a cat take on a dog in a game of cards, despite his losing streak "Don't Give Up the Sheep" - a wolf tries to outsmart a sheepdog ...as well as appearances by Marvin Martian, Sylvester, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, Wile E. Coyote, Roadrunner, and even the Tasmanian Devil. Almost all the cartoons are winners. Some are sure to stand out in your memory, some are culturally or historically significant. These 4-disc Golden Collection sets are ideal for collectors and animation buffs. Along with nearly 60 cartoons, these sets include a wealth of bonus features and behind-the-scenes extras. Very interesting stuff and well worth it, if you're interested in such things. Among the extras included in this set are "Behind-the-Tunes" featurettes on Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester/Tweety, Roadrunner/Wyle E. Coyote, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, Carl Stalling (the man behind the music), and Mel Blanc (the voices of the Looney Tunes); a documentary on the "Golden Age of the Looney Tunes"; and informative audio-commentaries for select cartoons. **More casual fans or kids/families may be more interested in the less-expensive "Spotlight Collections" (volume one), which feature just two discs of cartoons, without the bonus features. If all you want are the cartoons to watch, these 2-disc sets may be a better option for you.** The Looney Tunes Golden Collections make excellent gifts and can occasionally be found on sale for about $26 (down from about $50). The sets are great for cartoon lovers and collectors, featuring behind-the-scenes extras to go along with the Looney Tunes shorts. Of all the (six) Golden Collection volumes, this first set is the best, featuring classic cartoons from all the major characters and first-rate bonus features. Later releases were more specialized, but this set contains a healthy mix. One of my favorite DVD sets. Very highly recommended.
(Michael Johnson, 2009-10-04) Was a great gift for a family member and it arrived on time and in great shape. Would buy from seller again.
(Jennifer Collier, 2009-09-11) I purchased the Looney Tunes-Golden Collection for my husbands birthday present. Among all the other gifts he received this was the one he has enjoyed to most. I love to listen to him laugh over and over again. By the end of the night we were all sitting in the TV room having a great time remembering these great cartoons.
(Dorys Santana, 2009-09-10) Purchased as a gift fot my hubby to add to his collection. Loved the movie.
(Debbie E. Douglas, 2009-09-05) ...the item arrived damaged/broken and the company refused to replace it. I certainly wonder how these companies can sell through Amazon. This very much affects our trust in doing any business w/Amazon.com
