Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Two Cusomter reviews:
Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 176
(D. Wolski, 2009-08-03) I haven't watched all of the discs yet, but got this item so my kids could watch some "real" cartoons. The cartoons and shorts are very entertaining. I would love to get volume 1, but it is still too expensive. This was a lot cheaper and still had many of the cartoons that I remember watching as a child.
(Cincy Dad, 2009-07-23) Many positive reviews already that I can validate with my purchase. These are the great cartoons your local TV stations ran in the afternoons back in the 50's and 60's; the cartoons that led off the movies at the theatres back then, as well as the great Saturday morning cartoons. They are timeless and even though your kids are into the electronics and super hero stuff today, this is material you will surely enjoy together. My seven year old and I just load up into the big chair and enjoy! Lots of road runner cartoons in this volume for those of you that enjoyed those so much like me.
(C. Rocklein, 2009-06-21) OK, everybody knows how great WB Looney Tunes can be, but who wants a huge catalogued selection like this? It may be fine for the archives or those collectors who enjoy having everything alphabetized and sitting on their shelf for the world to see, but seldom take the thing down to enjoy it. And that's the problem with this set. First cartoon on disc one "The Big Snooze" should have been the title for this whole set, disc one and four excluded. Yes, disc 1's Bugs Bunny Masterpieces are just that - and nobody minds watching consecutive Bugs cartoons. It's only when we reach Disc 2 that the whole thing starts taking a dive bomb and really starts to show just how stupid an idea it was to keep each character on one disc. While that may be ok for Bugs Bunny, it is definitely NOT ok for 15 consecutive Road Runner (and friends) cartoons. Please! Who can stand so much inanity in one serving? Then there's Tweety and Sylvester on Disc Three - most of these cartoons follow the same routine as Road Runner coyote schtick and it's just maddening to have to sit through cartoon after cartoon of the same theme and characters. To be honest, I am not a Tweety fan though Sylvester can be great - for an excellent selection of Sylvester cartoons, the disc dedicated to Cats in Looney Tunes 4 is a genuine riot - unlike the schlock on this set. OK, maybe that's too strong. The Merry Melodies on disc 4 are cool, but shouldn't have been put back to back as they do in the first 8 episodes. Seriously, the organizing of the episodes on the discs this way was a very unpractical and unappetizing way to serve up the Looney Tunes. PS - Actually, it's hard to beleive this is going for under $13 new right now. That is a GREAT DEAL and completely worth it if for no other reason than disc one, which has 15 Bugs Bunny cartoons on it, most of which are excellent and classic Bugs, and disc 4 which also has some great episodes. Consider the other 2 discs 'bonus' and that's a steal! Actually, to be fair to disc 4, episodes 9 - 15 are all excellent, four of them Bugs cartoons, peaking with episode 14, "What's Opera, Doc" where Fudd's Viking character has a magic hat which can summon the forces of nature to 'kill the wabbit'. The wabbit, for his part, has no qualms about transforming himself into a beautiful she-viking pwincess that seduces Fudd - until he discovers the shocking twuth. Utterly hilarious!
(Jeane B. Jones, 2009-06-15) This is the second series I have purchased for my married 37 year old son. He asked for these for a Christmas present for himself. They have had a child and want to pass this on to him. These cartoons are memories of when he was a little boy, he and I would sit every Saturday morning to watch them. I'm sure I will be ordering more.
(J. Favre, 2009-05-11) I always loved looney tunes cartoons growing up as a child and the Looney Tunes Golden Collections are by far the best compilation of your old favorites.
