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 anyone who's ever thrilled to the timeless query: "Ehhh? what's up, Doc?"

Summary: Six volumes later... this is still the best!
Comment: A few years back when I first got this set, I remember revelling once again in what network television had taken away from me. I was thrilled to own some of my favorite Looney Tunes cartoons.
I did notice, however, the disproportionate number of Chuck Jones cartoons, with just a few Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, and Bob McKimson shorts in the mix. Unless subtitled "The Best of Chuck Jones," it really should have featured several shorts from each major director (including Tex Avery and Frank Tashlin).
But now I see that what this set lacks for in variety of style, it makes up in variety of characters. This was the mold that shouldn't have been broken. Disc 1 is dedicated to Bugs Bunny, disc 2 features Daffy and Porky, and discs 3 and 4 present a nice mix of all the major characters, plus a few minor ones. The only mistake was adding several more Bugs cartoons to discs 3 and 4. This may account for the disappearing rabbit effect on the later volumes.
These cartoons may not encompass the cream of the crop, but I do know that there are more laughs per short in this set than in any subsequent volume. So the bottomline is this: if you only want to purchase one Looney Tunes Golden Collection, this is the one to get. (But do yourself a favor and invest some cash in volume two, also!)

Summary: The Best One
Comment: This is the best of the volumes of Looney Tunes so far. It has great Bugs Bunny cartoons, the best Daffy cartoons ever, and a sampling of most of the characters. No other set has included a Taz episode yet, this one gives you Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety/Sylvester, Road Runner, Marvin the Martian- everything and one you could want.
The other sets are all great too, but have more specialty cartoons and discs- any of these 4 discs you can put in and watch all the way through. If you can only afford one or only want one, buy this set.

Summary: no menu
Comment: the Looney Tunes CD's are excellent in terms of content, but they have one extremely annoying problem: there is no way to either view or choose from amongst all the cartoons on each disk using the typical DVD "scene selection" method, so you have to watch them all sequentially rather than being able to jump between favorites.
I have never used a DVD where you cannot view a "scene" menu to pick what scene in a film you want to watch and this standard feature seems even more important on a disk where each scene is it's own self contained unrelated cartoon, why was this feature left off these disks?
This is really unacceptable for an expensive product like this.

Summary: Memories
Comment: Great cartoons. I watch them with my son and it reminds me of when I was a kid and watching Saturday morning cartoons with my Dad. Much better than the violent cartoons out there today. And my son loves it
