Like previous installments, the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 mixes favorites from the Warner Bros. archives with relatively obscure older works. Chuck Jones' "Mississippi Hare" and Friz Freleng's "Sahara Hare" and "Knighty-Knight Bugs" (which won an Oscar) offer hilarious performances by Bugs. Two of Jones' earliest films, "The Night Watchman" and "Conrad the Sailor" prefigure his use of subtle expressions in his later cartoons. The disc of shorts by Frank Tashlin includes "Plane Daffy": pigeon see-duck-tress Hatta Mari anticipates Jayne Mansfield in such later Tashlin live-action comedies as Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?

Not all of these films have aged as gracefully. Younger viewers will probably not catch the references to Charlie McCarthy, Bill Robinson, and other old film and radio stars. The Speedy Gonzalez cartoons feature ethnic humor that seems embarrassing today; it's also crashingly unfunny. Each disc offers a disclaimer about stereotypes, noting, "they were wrong then and are wrong today."

The discs are loaded with extras that range from a partial set of storyboards for "Sahara Hare" to three of the "Private Snafu" shorts, which were made for the "Army-Navy Screen Magazine" during WW II. The oddest extra is the documentary Bugs Bunny Superstar, which infuriated many of the Warner Bros. artists when it was released in 1977. Much of its information should be taken with a grain of salt. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, some ethnic stereotypes, mild risqué humor, alcohol & tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Rating: - Stereotypes aside..
I am tired of a world that is so PC that we see cartoonists being killed for some religion. These were never taken literally by any 8 year older I knew in the fities or sixties. But let's get serious, if it means fun, it's better to show nudity, profanity or anti-moral issues than some cayote being blown up by an acme whatchamacallit.
Shame on me...but thse are classic laughter.

Rating: - class cartoons of the early 1900's century
I am dispointed that these loonley tunes vare no longer going to be allowed on tv. This is sad and wrong. I love these cartoons and when I watch them I was only ten years and they were from my mother generation and even a bit before them. i will have no problem showing them to my kids or grand kids someday.

This is Bugs at its best, the toon show is not intended for the young of age, but for us adults it is a great an wacky bugsy adventure. This will take us back to a time of rabbits and ducks and speedy mouse and tweety birds and did I forget to mention the cats and dogs. Wow a must for any toon collector. Keep the kids away, adults only ?

This collection is a good add for fans of Looney Tunes. It is complete with everything you will ever need to see. The price at the time of purchase was really cheap and a great investment on my end.

I always wanted a complete collection of Looney Tunes. Also would like to recommend Disney Treasure which is a great add on to all those timeless classics that kept us happy during our childhood. Man I miss those days!

What can be really said about this set that hasn't already been said. Disc One is devoted to Bugs Bunny (as the other sets do), Disc Three is Speedy Gonzalez (it's about time), Disc Two is director Frank Tashlin cartoons (not one of the big name cartoon directors),and Disc Four is Kitty Korner (cartoons about cats). While devoted Looney Tunes fans will love this (I am one), the casual fans might be disappointed because these are not all the most popular ones. If you are a casual fan, start at the ... Read More
