Greetings, Looneytics! For all who rightly place Looney Tunes alongside Mom, apple pie and web-surfing at work as American institutions, this is your time to rise and shine and watch. Yes, here on 4 discs you'll find 60 more of the finest, funniest, bestest Golden Era cartoons from the feverishly bent artistic minds at Termite Terrace. Disc 1 showcases a certain wascally wabbit. The happiness of pursuit is center stage in Disc 2 and 3's respective batches of Road Runner and Sylvester/Tweety fun. Disc 4 is an all-star cavalcade of Hollywood parodies and more. All 60 toons are restored, remastered, uncut. And each disc is chock-a-block with bonus goodies. It's a 24-carrot gem of a collection. Anything less would be dethpicable.

Brash, fast-paced, and hysterically funny, the Warner Brothers cartoons rank among the undisputed treasures of American animation and American comedy. This second collection, a follow-up to Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, includes such gems as "Porky in Wackyland," "A Bear for Punishment," "Gee Whiz-z-z," The Great Piggy Bank Robbery," and "I Love to Singa." A short documentary about director Bob Clampett features several cartoon historians, animator Eric Goldberg, Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont, and Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi (enthusiastic but over the top). But Warners continues its scattergun approach to selecting films. There are only eight cartoons by Clampett in the set, plus three by Tex Avery and one by Frank Tashlin. "Rabbit Fire" and "Rabbit Seasoning" appear on the first set, but the third cartoon in Jones's trilogy, "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!" isn't on either. More than two-thirds of the films are by Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones. That's not necessarily a bad thing. "Show Biz Bugs," "Bugs Bunny Rides Again," and the Oscar-winning "Tweety Pie" showcase Freleng's razor-sharp timing. "What's Opera, Doc," "The Dover Boys," and the justly celebrated "One Froggy Evening" rank among Jones's boldest experiments and most brilliant successes.
Volume Two includes some genuine rarities, among them, "Sinkin' in the Bathtub" (1930), the first Looney Tune, and the Oscar-winning documentary "So Much for So Little." With 60-plus cartoons, transferred from good prints Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Volume 2 is a collection to treasure. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Vol. 2 Reviews
| 291 of 294 people found the following review helpful  Directorial Information Organized by Disc, By This review is from: Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Vol. 2 (DVD) For those of you who have a favorite Director you may have found categorization by character quite frustrating. Personally I don't care for a whole disc of Bugs, or a whole disc of Daffy; I want a whole disc of Chuck or a whole disc of Friz. Even the fine episode lists above, which really do hold all the information you need, are not organized according to how the episodes appear on the discs in the collection. To remedy this problem I have the following list to provide you with the episodes, organized in the order they appear on the discs, and who directed them. I hope this proves useful to someone, and will save them from having to do this all over again themselves.Volume Two: Disc One 1.The Big Snooze (Bob Clampett) 2.Broomstick Bunny (Chuck Jones) 3.Bugs Bunny Rides Again (Friz Freleng) 4.Bunny Hugged (Chuck Jones) 5.French Rarebit (Bob Clampett) 6.Gorilla my Dreams (Robert McKimson) 7.The...

Well, even without these two classics this set would still stand up as a great sequel to the first volume (Which was just as good despite the pedantic naysayers.)Here some of the reasons why this set is worth your money; First off the restoration job is just like the first set and it is all uncut, so the addition of all the material which Cartoon Network might deem improper for your child is included, but let's look at some of the best toons... Porky in Wackyland Great to see that they aren't afraid to stick a black and white cartoon in there especially this great surreal classic which introduced the Dodo bird. The Dover Boys The cartoon that introduced smear animation that was despised by the studio producers but is...

Actually, the cartoons made when I was a kid were pretty lousy. The ones I enjoyed were already twenty or more years old even in my elementary school years; I would be exposed to them only through repeats, primarily in the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show. While there are certainly plenty of decent cartoons nowadays, there is something special about the Looney Tunes that have made them last through the ages. The four disc Volume 2 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection provides sixty or so examples of this immortal animation.The first disc features Bugs Bunny in various adventures and misadventures. Bugs is the singlemost iconic figure in the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies pantheon, and these are all good to great cartoons. Bugs contends with his usual adversaries of Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam as well as witches, Dr. Jekyll, French chefs and a number of other... Read more |
