Product Description:
Propelled by the creative genius of Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, and Friz Freleng, Warner Brothers' LOONEY TUNES introduced the world to some of the greatest cartoon characters to ever grace the animated cel: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzalez, Pepe LePew, Wile E.Coyote, Road Runner, Tweety, Sylvester, Marvin the Martian, Tasmanian Devil, and many more. This collection honors Warner Brothers' golden age of animation with 56 cartoon shorts remastered and restored to their original, uncut versions.

For years, animation buffs have waited impatiently for the Warner Bros.cartoons to appear on DVD. The Warner shorts never commanded the budgets andprestige of the Disney and MGM films, and won fewer Oscars than they deserved. Butdecades after the best ones were created, they remain the quintessentialHollywood 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, intheaters and on TV. The 56 cartoons in the set (out of a studio output of over 1,000) weretransferred from good prints--which means the viewer can see dust, scratches, andoccasional mistakes by the cel painters. The films are all presented uncut, indefiance of the killjoys who have insisted on censoring alleged "violence" inthe versions shown on television. Warner Bros. is obviously testing consumer response with this set. Althoughthe 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 BobClampett, and there's nothing by Tex Avery or Frank Tashlin.)But it seems petty to carp about omissions and biases when the discs offerexcellent, uncensored prints of some of the funniest films ever made in theU.S.--or anywhere else. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence)--Charles Solomon

Rating: - A great gift!
I added this as one of the more nostalgic gifts for my son's 21st birthday. He's always loved cartoons, especially the looney tune classics. He was thrilled with the gift!
Rating: - Old Friends
I grew up with these cartoons. They are not the same anymore. I think they are funnier as an adult. True genius and creativity. I cherish the memories.

This is an excellent collection in one package. I grew up with Looney Tunes and my children have never seen it. Listening to my children laugh so hard and talk about it afterward is a major reward for me. Yeah, I watched it too. This is my first golden collection. I am hoping the other volumes in the collection will be of this quality.

I love these old bugs bunny cartoon's, the only thing was they had a lot of dust showing on the video from the original films.
