DVD Reviews of Looney Tunes: Spotlight Collection, Vol. 5
DVD Review: Looney, But Is It Looney Enough?
Summary: 3 Stars
With the upcoming Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 on the horizon,. many die hard fans are anxious to see some of the best animated classics from the Warner Brothers library all over again. But, whenever they've made the most with the hype of the Golden Collections, they unfortunately have a budget version called the spotlight collection. Although they are inexpensive, it just doesn't drive as much to die hard fans, as the case that others have. The only one that clicked from the budget collection was the Looney Tunes: Movie Collection which was Volume 3, because it was completely different from the others ones. Now that a new edition is set to make it to the stores in a few months, does the spotlight shine or dim on the smaller collection?
The Looney Tunes: Spotlight Collection, Volume 5 is a 2 disc DVD set which highlights a smapling of the upcoming Golden Collection Volume 5. The cartoons have been remastered well, but it does miss out and doesn't highlight as much for die hard fans, as much as it tries to being new fans of the classic cartoon series. The first disc mainly features Bugs Bunny, like it did on the previous Golden Collections. This one however, does feature a twist as Bugs has to share the spotlight one of his rivals, Daffy Duck. There aren't as many Bugs cartoons here as there were before, and doesn't really highlight as many shorts were Bugs and Daffy battled with their wits, considering most of hose greats were used from the previous Golden Collections. The only three cartoons that shows Bugs & Daffy duking it out, mainly show in the Bing Crosby & Bob Hope relationship Chuck Jones directed towards the two of them in classic like Ali-Baba Bunny, and the quirky Abominable Snow Rabbit, and A Star Is Bored which Friz Freleng portraits Daffy being a double for Bugs on a movie set. Other than that there both sharing there greats here in classics like Bugs' Bonnets where Bugs is head to head against Elmer Fudd, but taking on the serious guises of hats that show too much personality, and The Stupor Salesman ( one of the animated greats directed by unsung and overshadowed director Art Davis), which Daffy flexes his salesman muscles, refusing to take no for an answer from a wanted criminal just to make a buck. I just honestly wished that more cartoons which showed Bugs vs. Daffy in the looney ways possible could've been shown here like The Million Hare and Beanstalk Bunny. Which remains unfortunate, considering all the good ones like Show Biz Bugs, and Rabbit Seasoning, were used in previous volumes.
The second disc is mainly a fairy tale remake series in where the Looney Tunes gang takes on knockoffs of classic stories like Goldimouse & The three Cats which features a mouse who intrudes a house where Sylvester & Sylvester Jr. live for food and shelter, which leaves Sylvester Jr. craving for something other than pourage, a mouse. Also, Bewitched Bunny, a knockoff of the Hansel & Gretel story that is the debut of Witch Hazel, one of Bugs' overlooked foes, and the lessker-known Senorella & The Glass Hurache, a Mexican version of the classic Cinderella story which was one of the first toons that Warner brothers made after leaving the legendary Termite Terrace in the 1960's.
All in all, The Looney Tunes: Spotlight Collection Volume 5 could've been a bit better. It leaves a lot missing for new fans, and doesn't draw enough for longtime fanatics and classic animation collectors. Insead, I absolutely recommend Looney Tunes fans await the upcoming Golden Collection Volume 5 instead. There are many more greats there, including classics from the early 1930's from Porky Pig, and a tribute to legendary animator Bob Clampett. This shows that spotlight has dimmed further on the budget series.

Description of Looney Tunes: Spotlight Collection, Vol. 5
Restored. Remastered. Reeediculously funny! The good times roll with 30 more of the brightest, bestest cartoons anywhere. Disc 1 showcases - drum roll, please! - the renowned wabbit and fowlball, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, in landmark romps that include Buccaneer Bunny and Stupor Duck. And once upon a time there were three bears...but any similarity to The Bear's Tale and the actual Goldilocks story is purely hilarious in Disc 2's Fairy Tales lineup. Here, the Warner funmakers give their own delirious tailspins to renowned fables â?" from Paying the Piper (with Porky Pig as the Pied Piper) to Tweety and the Beanstalk, to the Wolf's escapades in Little Red Walking Hood. Ah-oooOOOO, what a treat!Bestsellers in DVD
