DVD Reviews of Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Five
DVD Review: "Hassaaan chop!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
This collection is one of the best ones out of the series. Watching these old classic cartoons took me back to those Saturday mornings that I spent as child, watching Looney Tunes, wrapped up in my favorite blanket eating a bowl of my favorite cereal. Even today Bugs and the gang still make me laugh. They don't make cartoons like this anymore. DVD Review: Less Porky pig
Summary: 2 Stars
I like the color cartoons better. There is a lot of black and white Porky pig in this volume. I should've read the year better I guess. DVD Review: Pure entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
This set of cartoons will absolutely thrill both young and older, the characters, the style, the content, all of which were written and voiced so well, the viewer will be entertained. There is a definitive innocense, all the while there also exists a subtle humor intended for the adult. These cartoons will never again be produced in such a way, I therefore recommend that anyone interested in intelligent cartoons, combined with innocense, these are it.DVD Review: Many timeless classics, but some entries more of historical value than for the kiddies
Summary: 4 Stars
Like many thirty-somethings, I grew up on Looney Tunes. The hilarious exploits of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, the Road Runner, and the gang never failed to disappoint, even when I'd seen the episodes several times over. There was something always fresh and funny about these 'toons.
As an adult, I can appreciate the art behind the 'toons a lot better. And it's definitely there. But still, the main reason we have cartoons is for kids to laugh. So I thought this collection would be perfect for my two girls (both under 6 years old).
For the most part, I was right. Of the four DVDs worth of material, about three-and-a-half are guaranteed to keep my girls in stitches - and they had never seen Bugs Bunny before. (A shameless parenting failure on my part.) Whether it's Bugs wondering if he should have made the left turn at Albuquerque, Yosemite Sam shrieking "Gold! Gold!", or Porky Pig stuttering like there's no tomorrow, these Looney Tunes keep my girls laughing.
But there are several entries, mainly on Disc 4, that are just too darn old and dated to be of much fun. That's not a criticism of the material, but just a recognition that these were aimed at a different audience- people sitting in theaters waiting for the next film to start. I don't care that many of the cartoons feature racial or ethnic stereotypes - these comic archetypes are a bit startling today, but I don't consider them harmful. But after watching Disc 4 once with the girls, the lack of laughter was reason enough to refrain from ever putting it in the player again.
I was also disappointed that there were no appearances by Marvin the Martian or Wile E. Coyote in this compilation, but you can't have everything. All in all, a darn good collection of 'toons.
DVD Review: Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this for my brother for Christmas. I wasn't sure which volume to get so I took a stab in the dark. Hope he likes it!

The fifth collection of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies continues Warner Bros.' scattershot approach, mixing classics and obscurities. Among the best-known and funniest cartoons are "Ali Baba Bunny" (Daffy yelling, "I'm rich! I'm socially secure!"), "Bewitched Bunny" (Witch Hazel galloping off in a cloud of hair pins), and "Buccaneer Bunny" (a sterling example of one of director Friz Freleng's favorite gags: having the characters run up and down stairs and in and out of various doors). "Gold Diggers of '49" and "Little Red Walking Hood" show Tex Avery beginning to explore the self-reflexive gags that would be become one of the hallmarks of his mature style. In "Walking Hood," Grandma stops the action to answer the phone and place her order with the grocer--including a case of gin. "The Daffy Doc" is Bob Clampett at his most surreal, with Daffy and Porky getting sucked into an iron lung, bulging and shrinking like balloon animals. Some of the earliest cartoons predate the adoption of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" as the theme song for the Warner Bros. cartoons. Many shorts from the early '30s were built around songs from Warner's musicals: "I've Got to Sing a Torch Song" (written for Gold Diggers of 1933) features caricatures of Mae West, George Bernard Shaw, Benito Mussolini, and Bing Crosby frolicking to the title tune. Greta Garbo delivers the closing, "That's All, Folks!" Like the previous four sets, Golden Collection Volume 5 comes loaded with extras that range from three WWII films in which Mr. Hook urges sailors to buy war bonds to "Extremes and In-Betweens: A Life in Animation" (2000), a documentary about Oscar-winning director Chuck Jones. Many of these cartoons will have viewers of all ages in stitches. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, ethnic stereotypes, mild risqu? humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
