Product Description:
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

Rating: - Diiisspthicable!!
Here is what is wrong about these dvds warner bros(greedy brothers) have put out:

They have decided to make each disc (on most discs & most golden collection volumes) have the same character over and over which gets right on your funbags after a while. The looney tunes unique selling point has always been that each episode is followed by a different character. This stops you getting bored of watching the same character over and over again, which makes the characters stay fresh and ... Read More

Like I said in a earlier review Love me some bugs and daffy on saturdays as opposed to that new stuff they have on TV now. Guess I'm getting to old, but not for bugs and daffy.

Rating: - The best of what is so far five very good sets
At the time I am writing this something short of 400 people have already put their two cents in, so I won't bore you with the details yet again. Let me just say that having viewed all five sets, this one is the best and is the one to start with if you don't know if you'll want to buy the others. It has the very best of the Looney Tune cartoons on it, concentrated in the peak years of 1948-1953. Bugs is featured in over a third of the cartoons, and there is little from the very early cartoons. Do note ... Read More

I bought this for my grandaughter so I'd have something I could stand to watch with her and I wasn't disapointed. Its great! Worth every penny.

Rating: - A good collection of Looney Tunes.
I love these collections. I enjoy watching them with my children (8 and 11). They are timeless. The collections tend to have several classics and a few filler features. I would like to get one comprehensive collection, rather than many piecemeal collections.
