5/5 ANOTHER SMASH!
  by Tom A. Roberts (Lexington, KY)
This is the second installment of LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION series. Like the first it offers four DVDS, each of which has a theme. This time around, there is an extra cartoon per disc, so we get 60 cartoons instead of the 56 in VOLUME 1. However, not all the cartoons are in color this time. Two are in black-and-white.

Like the first set, the first disc exclusively features Bugs Bunny. It's not as good as the first one, though, as it is mostly comprised of pre-1948 shorts(I personally like the post-1948 ones). But people who prefer these earlier cartoons will enjoy this disc.

The second disc is mostly devoted to the Road Runner and Coyote. Unlike in the first set, where we were treated to only one Road Runner cartoon, here we get eleven, as well as the unaired pilot "The Adventures of the Road Runner." The rest of the disc is made up of various other Chuck Jones films. Overall the disc is excellent.

The third disc stars Sylvester and Tweety in nine of their best cartoons. The rest of the disc is somewhat uneven, ranging from Chuck Jones' bland "Old Glory" to Bob Clampett's masterpiece "Porky in Wackyland."

The fourth disc is a mixed bag of various Looney Tunes characters. It contains some very good cartoons ("Show Biz Bugs") and some not-so-good ones ("Katnip Korner"). It also corrects an oversight: It contains "One Froggy Evening" and "What's Opera, Doc?", two classic cartoons conspicuously missing from VOLUME 1.

Overall this volume is not as good as the first one, but when coupled with it. It comprises the very best of the Looney Tunes. This series went to produce four more boxes, but none of the subsequent sets had the power of the first two as a set. (Except perhaps the Bugs Bunny disc from VOLUME 4, which should have been on this set, but we can't have it all, can we?)

4/5 Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2

I haven't watched all of the discs yet, but got this item so my kids could watch some "real" cartoons. The cartoons and shorts are very entertaining. I would love to get volume 1, but it is still too expensive. This was a lot cheaper and still had many of the cartoons that I remember watching as a child.

5/5 Introduce Your E-Kids to Real Cartoon Entertainment

Many positive reviews already that I can validate with my purchase. These are the great cartoons your local TV stations ran in the afternoons back in the 50's and 60's; the cartoons that led off the movies at the theatres back then, as well as the great Saturday morning cartoons. They are timeless and even though your kids are into the electronics and super hero stuff today, this is material you will surely enjoy together.

My seven year old and I just load up into the big chair and enjoy!

Lots of road runner cartoons in this volume for those of you that enjoyed those so much like me.

3/5 Wrong
  by C. Rocklein
OK, everybody knows how great WB Looney Tunes can be, but who wants a huge catalogued selection like this? It may be fine for the archives or those collectors who enjoy having everything alphabetized and sitting on their shelf for the world to see, but seldom take the thing down to enjoy it. And that's the problem with this set. First cartoon on disc one "The Big Snooze" should have been the title for this whole set, disc one and four excluded. Yes, disc 1's Bugs Bunny Masterpieces are just that - and nobody minds watching consecutive Bugs cartoons. It's only when we reach Disc 2 that the whole thing starts taking a dive bomb and really starts to show just how stupid an idea it was to keep each character on one disc. While that may be ok for Bugs Bunny, it is definitely NOT ok for 15 consecutive Road Runner (and friends) cartoons. Please! Who can stand so much inanity in one serving? Then there's Tweety and Sylvester on Disc Three - most of these cartoons follow the same routine as Road Runner coyote schtick and it's just maddening to have to sit through cartoon after cartoon of the same theme and characters. To be honest, I am not a Tweety fan though Sylvester can be great - for an excellent selection of Sylvester cartoons, the disc dedicated to Cats in Looney Tunes 4 is a genuine riot - unlike the schlock on this set. OK, maybe that's too strong. The Merry Melodies on disc 4 are cool, but shouldn't have been put back to back as they do in the first 8 episodes. Seriously, the organizing of the episodes on the discs this way was a very unpractical and unappetizing way to serve up the Looney Tunes.

PS - Actually, it's hard to beleive this is going for under $13 new right now. That is a GREAT DEAL and completely worth it if for no other reason than disc one, which has 15 Bugs Bunny cartoons on it, most of which are excellent and classic Bugs, and disc 4 which also has some great episodes. Consider the other 2 discs 'bonus' and that's a steal! Actually, to be fair to disc 4, episodes 9 - 15 are all excellent, four of them Bugs cartoons, peaking with episode 14, "What's Opera, Doc" where Fudd's Viking character has a magic hat which can summon the forces of nature to 'kill the wabbit'. The wabbit, for his part, has no qualms about transforming himself into a beautiful she-viking pwincess that seduces Fudd - until he discovers the shocking twuth. Utterly hilarious!

5/5 Memories

This is the second series I have purchased for my married 37 year old son. He asked for these for a Christmas present for himself. They have had a child and want to pass this on to him. These cartoons are memories of when he was a little boy, he and I would sit every Saturday morning to watch them. I'm sure I will be ordering more.
