DVD Reviews of Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Four
DVD Review: Much funnier than any thing more contemporary
Summary: 5 Stars
The old cartoons were written with real humor in mind. The stuff out today is mostly junk. Humor is humor. Just because something about me or someone else is the brunt of the humor makes it no less funny. If we can not laugh at ourselves than why should we be able to laugh at anything? The raters use to say that Bugs, Daffy, Foghorn, Speedy, Sylvester, Porky and the rest of the bunch were offensive minorities and dangerous to children. What a lie. The political climate today is fueled by manipulative pacification and ridiculous accusations. These are just cartoons and some may think that this is not the place to express such concerns, but the censorship that has occurred in the last 20 or so years makes this the place to say the truth about how the political left is ruining American society.DVD Review: Awesome classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up on Looney toons as a child, I remember cartoons, the old fashioned ones we used to watch on Sat morning in the 70's. They were just pure hysterical gut-busting entertainment, and Bugs Bunny poked fun at everyone. He teaches us to laugh at ourselves, our differences and our alikenesses. It is sad they view him as "non-PC" these days (note the disclaimer at the beginning of the DVD's). But, everyone was fair game to him. And, I don't think being humorous is wrong, but it is a product of its time, and we cannot deny it happened. When "racial or ethnic" references are made, the humor shows that the one making the reference is just as ridiculous as the one being referred to. So, it was social commentary.
These days, the kids are watching mind numbing, PC to the point of exclusion, educational cartoons at every turn. The fail to show humor, they fail to show it is ok to laugh at ourselves and to embrace our differences that make us who we are. They fail to show just plain old humor, and human nature. And, when a child goes out into the world, they do not know how to handle other people's differences when they encounter those situations. Bugs Bunny makes it all good.
My husband and I were commenting on this one day. How the cartoons are not the same as they used to be. We discovered that both of our favorite episode was the one with Yosemite Sam and his "stupid" dragon. We went on a search of this episode which brought us to this purchase. We now have two Looney Tunes anthologies. And, our kids love them, it is a great family time to share. There are historical and literary references that I also feel teach them. But, most of all it is the healing laughter we all enjoy. Plus, we have to explain to our children the meaning behind some of those references, and how society has come to deal with it.
We love this Collection, and will undoubtedly be back for more.
DVD Review: If you grew up watching these, get it! If you did not grow up watching them, STILL get it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having grown up on these cartoons, I jumped at the chance to get the first four volumes, with the first three together as a package, at a nice discount, then this volume alone.
I was definitely NOT disappointed!
There were also some extras, such as isolated soundtracks, alternate takes, and occasional documentaries.
Classic is a very overused term these days, but these wonderful old cartoons exemplify classic in every way, from the wonderful animation, instantly recognized sound effects, truly funny story lines, and (possibly most of all) the voice of the legendary, late and very great Mel Blanc.
If you grew up watching these, you already know what I am talking about.
If you haven't had the pleasure of watching cartoons the way they were MEANT to be, I must urge you to buy at least one volume, and I bet you will be hooked.
I will sound like one of those old fogies when I say it, but Spongebob Squarepants simply pales in comparison to these.
Oh, and your kids will LOVE you for it!
Amazon's shipping was peerless, getting them to me on Thursday morning, after I had ordered them on Saturday afternoon.
Now, THAT is service!
DVD Review: great stuff!

Description of Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Four
More Looney Tunes. Your wish is our command. Because in this 4-disc set are 60 more of the most looneytic Looney Tunes ever unleashed on rabbits, pigs, mice or cats. Indeed, some have never before been on home video! Disc 1 features the tall, gray and haresome one. Disc 2 is all pig. Disc 3 is all about Speedy. And Disc 4 is the cats meow. One thing: to watch these, you must be as tall as this sign. Wrong disclaimer. Read the one in the box below. Got the idea? Now have funLike previous installments, the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 mixes favorites from the Warner Bros. archives with relatively obscure older works. Chuck Jones' "Mississippi Hare" and Friz Freleng's "Sahara Hare" and "Knighty-Knight Bugs" (which won an Oscar) offer hilarious performances by Bugs. Two of Jones' earliest films, "The Night Watchman" and "Conrad the Sailor" prefigure his use of subtle expressions in his later cartoons. The disc of shorts by Frank Tashlin includes "Plane Daffy": pigeon see-duck-tress Hatta Mari anticipates Jayne Mansfield in such later Tashlin live-action comedies as Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
Not all of these films have aged as gracefully. Younger viewers will probably not catch the references to Charlie McCarthy, Bill Robinson, and other old film and radio stars. The Speedy Gonzalez cartoons feature ethnic humor that seems embarrassing today; it's also crashingly unfunny. Each disc offers a disclaimer about stereotypes, noting, "they were wrong then and are wrong today."
The discs are loaded with extras that range from a partial set of storyboards for "Sahara Hare" to three of the "Private Snafu" shorts, which were made for the "Army-Navy Screen Magazine" during WW II. The oddest extra is the documentary Bugs Bunny Superstar, which infuriated many of the Warner Bros. artists when it was released in 1977. Much of its information should be taken with a grain of salt. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, some ethnic stereotypes, mild risqu? humor, alcohol & tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
