The fifth collection of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies continues Warner Bros.' scattershot approach, mixing classics and obscurities. Among the best-known and funniest cartoons are "Ali Baba Bunny" (Daffy yelling, "I'm rich! I'm socially secure!"), "Bewitched Bunny" (Witch Hazel galloping off in a cloud of hair pins), and "Buccaneer Bunny" (a sterling example of one of director Friz Freleng's favorite gags: having the characters run up and down stairs and in and out of various doors). "Gold Diggers of '49" and "Little Red Walking Hood" show Tex Avery beginning to explore the self-reflexive gags that would be become one of the hallmarks of his mature style. In "Walking Hood," Grandma stops the action to answer the phone and place her order with the grocer--including a case of gin. "The Daffy Doc" is Bob Clampett at his most surreal, with Daffy and Porky getting sucked into an iron lung, bulging and shrinking like balloon animals. Some of the earliest cartoons predate the adoption of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" as the theme song for the Warner Bros. cartoons. Many shorts from the early '30s were built around songs from Warner's musicals: "I've Got to Sing a Torch Song" (written for Gold Diggers of 1933) features caricatures of Mae West, George Bernard Shaw, Benito Mussolini, and Bing Crosby frolicking to the title tune. Greta Garbo delivers the closing, "That's All, Folks!" Like the previous four sets, Golden Collection Volume 5 comes loaded with extras that range from three WWII films in which Mr. Hook urges sailors to buy war bonds to "Extremes and In-Betweens: A Life in Animation" (2000), a documentary about Oscar-winning director Chuck Jones. Many of these cartoons will have viewers of all ages in stitches. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, ethnic stereotypes, mild risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

- Idiots make me mad!
Don't listen to nitpickers who tear apart a lot of hard work--this is hardly a "sleazy" attempt by the evil Warner bean-counters to "unload" black and white or substandard cartoons.This is a labor of love designed to get every cartoon out to the adult collector.If you don't like it, you're a trash-talking flame-thrower who wouldn't understand a conversation about finger painting, let alone art.
If you like the Warner Brothers cartoons, you'll be picking up EVERY set--and they all have hits ... Read More
Rating: - Looney Tunes classics
Excellent. We purchased this collection for our 5 month twins they can sit and watch for a while the color, music and sounds they love!
Rating: - "Hassaaan chop!!"
This collection is one of the best ones out of the series.Watching these old classic cartoons took me back to those Saturday mornings that I spent as child, watching Looney Tunes, wrapped up in my favorite blanket eating a bowl of my favorite cereal.Even today Bugs and the gang still make me laugh.They don't make cartoons like this anymore.

- Less Porky pig
I like the color cartoons better. There is a lot of black and white Porky pig in this volume. I should've read the year better I guess.
Rating: - Pure entertainment
This set of cartoons will absolutely thrill both young and older, the characters, the style, the content, all of which were written and voiced so well, the viewer will be entertained. There is a definitive innocense, all the while there also exists a subtle humor intended for the adult. These cartoons will never again be produced in such a way, I therefore recommend that anyone interested in intelligent cartoons, combined with innocense, these are it.
