Greetings, Looneytics! For all who rightly place Looney Tunes alongside Mom, apple pie and web-surfing at work as American institutions, this is your time to rise and shine and watch. Yes, here on 4 discs you'll find 60 more of the finest, funniest, bestest Golden Era cartoons from the feverishly bent artistic minds at Termite Terrace. Disc 1 showcases a certain wascally wabbit. The happiness of pursuit is center stage in Disc 2 and 3's respective batches of Road Runner and Sylvester/Tweety fun. Disc 4 is an all-star cavalcade of Hollywood parodies and more. All 60 toons are restored, remastered, uncut. And each disc is chock-a-block with bonus goodies. It's a 24-carrot gem of a collection. Anything less would be dethpicable.
User Submitted Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Two Reviews September 23, 2008 Oldie cartoons Great collection of old WB cartoons. I want the whole set! Chuck Jones was a genius. Lots of laughs and lots of memories.
June 15, 2008 Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Two Volume Two is actually a better collection than Volume One. This collection contains 60 cartoons, 15 per disc. Disc One is titled Bugs Bunny Masterpieces, many are Bugs Bunny classics. Disc Two is titled Road Runner & Friends. Not all feature the Road Runner, the last few are one-hit wonders, such as "The Dover Boys". Disc Three is titled Tweety & Sylvester & Friends. Once again, some are without the title characters. Disc Four is titled Looney Tunes All Stars: On Stage & Screen. This disc does contain "One Froggy Evening" which won an Academy Award. There are some Bugs Bunny cartoons on this disc, it also contains some one shots, such as "I Love to Singa", a takeoff on the Jazz Singer. Like Volume One's disc four, Volume Two's disc four is the least enjoyable.
Warner Bros. is charging an exorbitant price for these collections, if you don't catch them on sale, you're probably overpaying. In general, disc four has the cartoons we're least interested in, it's the padding of the set, it's only reason for being there is so Warner Bros. can make even more money by increasing the number of volumes being released. This is still a classic collection of Warner Bros. cartoons. One of the best things about the collection is that all the cartoons are complete & uncut.
May 8, 2008 looney tuney A fun collection. The grandkids love these and they are used before the feature movie in our prison ministry. The guys love it. Just like the movies or Saturday morning...
April 28, 2008 Another great Looney Tunes DVD set I purchased this set after running through volume 1 enough with my daughter that we were ready for some new episodes. This is another great set, with some classic episodes that were left off of volume 1 and some generally zany and surrealistic ones, many of which I have never seen before. I didn't like this one as well as volume 1 for a couple of reasons: 1) too many cartoons with the same characters on each DVD. I prefer when they get mixed up, rather than sitting through a bunch of Tweety and Sylvesters all in a row. And 2) too many cartoons that have obscure references (such as old Hollywood stars and popular literature from the early 20th century) that kids just won't get -- and you probably won't either. If you don't have volume 1, get that one. If you do, then go ahead and get this one. It is a worthy addition to your cartoon library!
April 23, 2008 Looney Tunes, Golden collection volume ll This brings me back to a time when cartoones were a Saturday morning tradition. A time when parents got up and watched cartoons WITH their children, and everyone enjoyed them. Today, cartoons are mostly for adult viewing. They teach kids about fighting and blood spurting from wounds, or that backtalting parents, bad language etc. is acceptable behavior. Granted that there is violence in these cartoons as well, but the caliber is much lower, and not nearly as likely to be imitated by children. It's time to go back to basics....back to Bugs!!!
April 20, 2008 Saturday Morning Cartoons! What a treat to watch your favorite Looney Tunes uncensored! I bought Volumes 1 and 2 for $27 each! Talk about a bargain! And the best part is, whenever you feel like it, you can re-live Saturday morning once again, without the commericals!
April 20, 2008 Love It!!! This collection took me back and I couldn't stop laughing my head off. What genius. The collection of cartoons is perfect!
April 9, 2008 Looney Tunes: Simply the Best This collection is a good add for fans of Looney Tunes. It is complete with everything you will ever need to see. The price at the time of purchase was really cheap and a great investment on my end.
I always wanted a complete collection of Looney Tunes. Also would like to recommend Disney Treasure which is a great add on to all those timeless classics that kept us happy during our childhood. Man I miss those days!
March 24, 2008 Must have Brings me back to childhood Saturday mornings, trying to watch and laugh and not wake up my parents.
March 16, 2008 Warner Brothers: Package the cartoons according to the decade that they were originally released! Most casual buyers of cartoons could care less about the shorts created prior to 1955, Warner Brothers or otherwise, and definately not the old black and white cartoons. The kids today are bored by black and white; they want full-color images. The humor in the black and white stuff is largely stale and and filled with racial stereotypes, old jokes, and outdated references.
Warner Brothers: Please package and sell these cartoons according to the decade that they were originally released in. That way, consumers that only want to purchase the 1960's cartoons and those going forward can do so, and consumers that want to buy the pre-1955 cartoons can still purchase those as well. The only reason those pre-1955 shorts are included in these packages is as historical fillers; the consumers get less of what we really want, and you can sell your DVD bundles each for the same $45.00+ price, filling half of the discs up with the older cartoons that you couldn't possibly sell to most people under other circumstances.
Warner Brothers knows that if they sold the pre-1955 cartoons separately, according to decade released, that there would be a few buyers, but not as many buyers as if they continue to FORCE everyone to buy the pre-1955 cartoons by mixing them up along with the post-1955 cartoons in a pricey new DVD set. It's all about the profits, not what the majority of the consumers want.
