- Nice mix of classic cartoons.
Most cartoons remind me of my childhood and that's exactly why I got the DVD. I am somewhat of a collector and don't want to forget all the good memories. Production quality is A+. Good mix of cartoons. If you get this one, you might just want to get the rest.

I've loved the previous Looney Tunes collections, but, for the most part, found this one a bore. Some great cartoons are lost amidst silly early ones and middling spoofs of old-time Hollywood, most so dated that I'm sure half the references go over modern audience's heads. (I mean, how many people under the age of 60 know who Edna May Oliver was?) Too many times my reaction to a short was "That was cute" instead of "That was great." And some of them are, particularly the ones starring Bugs. In a perfect world, Warner Brothers would have come out with 4 disc collections that focus on a single character. Of course, it knows damn well that it would never sell a Speedy Gonzales Collection; so instead the company squeezes him into these Golden Collections whenever they can, which only devalues them as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, at these prices, one has to think too hard about buying a set that one will only half-enjoy.

- Wow...
I remember seeing many of these cartoons as a child and wondered why I never saw many of them again. This set does indeed include some cartoons with innappropriate racial or sexual references that children may not understand but don't need to learn. However, for the mature Looney Tunes fan, this is a great set of early cartoons that display the creativity of the Warner Bros. studio in the 1930s-1950s. Some of them are classic cartoons released during World War II and some cartoons that were only intended for servicemen (definitely not for children!). A great set for serious Looney Tunes fans!

- Hoping for More
Okay, so I'm a huge Looney Tunes fan and I often reminiesce about watching cartoons on Saturday morning, particularly Looney Tunes. The "Hilly Billy Hare" is my favorite Bug Bunny short as well as others in this selection.

Volume three had lots of Porky Pig and Elmer Fudds but no Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, or Daffy Duck. This was my only disappointment. I was hoping that it would include all of the most popular characters. I guess my biggest gripe would be that I wanted to see the most popular cartoons in this selection, but to be honest there were only a few that were.

I like Looney Tunes Volume 3, but it does leave a lot to be desired. If you are a fan though, you should still purchase this selection.

- Mis-guided images
I wish the images shown on the previews matched the actual cartoons on the dvds
