DVD Reviews of Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume One

DVD Review: The Best One
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best of the volumes of Looney Tunes so far. It has great Bugs Bunny cartoons, the best Daffy cartoons ever, and a sampling of most of the characters. No other set has included a Taz episode yet, this one gives you Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety/Sylvester, Road Runner, Marvin the Martian- everything and one you could want.

The other sets are all great too, but have more specialty cartoons and discs- any of these 4 discs you can put in and watch all the way through. If you can only afford one or only want one, buy this set.

DVD Review: no menu
Summary: 4 Stars

the Looney Tunes CD's are excellent in terms of content, but they have one extremely annoying problem: there is no way to either view or choose from amongst all the cartoons on each disk using the typical DVD "scene selection" method, so you have to watch them all sequentially rather than being able to jump between favorites.

I have never used a DVD where you cannot view a "scene" menu to pick what scene in a film you want to watch and this standard feature seems even more important on a disk where each scene is it's own self contained unrelated cartoon, why was this feature left off these disks?

This is really unacceptable for an expensive product like this.


DVD Review: Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume One
Summary: 5 Stars

I was very pleased with this collection! It has several of my favorite episodes. I have been a Looney Tunes fan all my life.

DVD Review: Memories
Summary: 5 Stars

Great cartoons. I watch them with my son and it reminds me of when I was a kid and watching Saturday morning cartoons with my Dad. Much better than the violent cartoons out there today. And my son loves it

DVD Review: Even better now
Summary: 5 Stars

Hysterical!! All the classics wrapped up into one, uncut and unedited, just like I remember. Brought me back to my Saturday morning childhood; only one difference - they are even funnier as an adult. Highly recommend this product. Seriously considering volume two if I can stop watching these over and over.

Description of Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume One

They're the crown princes of animation. They're the international ambassadors of cartoon comedy. They're the fabulously funny friends you grew up with! And now 56 of the very best animated shorts starring the very wackiest Warner Bros. cartoon characters have been rounded up on DVD for the first time ever in The Looney Tunes Golden Collection! Just barely contained in four special edition discs each specially selected short has been brilliantly restored and re-mastered to its original uncut anvil-dropping laughter-inducing glory! Featuring some of the very earliest ground-breaking on-screen appearances of many all-time Looney Tunes favorites it's an unprecedented celebration for cartoon-lovers eager to re-live the heady hilarious golden age of Warner Bros. animation! Sparkling with one unforgettable landmark animated marvel after another there's that icon of carrot-crunching aplomb Bugs Bunny in a dazzling assortment of his very best classic shorts. Also highlighted in their own delightfully zany series of cartoon gems: the ever-flustered Daffy Duck and eternal straight-man Porky Pig. Plus all the rest of the beloved Looney Tunes lineup starring in some of the most wildly imaginative cartoon shorts ever created! Including an array of exclusive bonus DVD features from expert commentaries to insights into the evolution of these classic characters this is the ultimate animated experience for anyonewho's ever thrilled to the timeless query: "Ehhh? what's up Doc?"Running Time: 411 min.System Requirements:Running Time 411 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?NR UPC:?085392791828
For years, animation buffs have waited impatiently for the Warner Bros. cartoons to appear on DVD. The Warner shorts never commanded the budgets and prestige of the Disney and MGM films, and won fewer Oscars than they deserved. But decades after the best ones were created, they remain the quintessential Hollywood cartoons: brash, fast-paced, aggressively funny and uniquely American. Virtually everyone in the U.S. under the age of 60 grew up on these films, in theaters and on TV. The 56 cartoons in the set (out of a studio output of over 1,000) were transferred from good prints--which means the viewer can see dust, scratches, and occasional mistakes by the cel painters. The films are all presented uncut, in defiance of the killjoys who have insisted on censoring alleged "violence" in the versions shown on television. Warner Bros. is obviously testing consumer response with this set. Although the erratic selection includes many classics, purists will argue (correctly) that it offers neither a fair representation of the directors' oeuvres, nor anything approaching a coherent history of the characters or studio style. (Nearly half the films were directed by Chuck Jones; only three are by Bob Clampett, and there's nothing by Tex Avery or Frank Tashlin.) But it seems petty to carp about omissions and biases when the discs offer excellent, uncensored prints of some of the funniest films ever made in the U.S.--or anywhere else. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
