Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Two description 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 |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Warner Brothers: Package the cartoons according to the decade that they were originally released! |
| Most casual buyers of cartoons could care less about the shorts created prior to 1955, Warner Brothers or otherwise, and definately not the old black and white cartoons. The kids today are bored by black and white; they want full-color images. The humor in the black and white stuff is largely stale and and filled with racial stereotypes, old jokes, and outdated references.
Warner Brothers: Please package and sell these cartoons according to the decade that they were originally released in. That way, consumers that only want to purchase the 1960's cartoons and those going forward can do so, and consumers that want to buy the pre-1955 cartoons can still purchase those as well. The only reason those pre-1955 shorts are included in these packages is as historical fillers; the consumers get less of what we really want, and you can sell your DVD bundles each for the same $45.00+ price, filling half of the discs up with the older cartoons that you couldn't possibly sell to most people under other circumstances. Warner Brothers knows that if they sold the pre-1955 cartoons separately, according to decade released, that there would be a few buyers, but not as many buyers as if they continue to FORCE everyone to buy the pre-1955 cartoons by mixing them up along with the post-1955 cartoons in a pricey new DVD set. It's all about the profits, not what the majority of the consumers want. |
