These four discs are great fun highlighting the golden age of Looney Tunes cartoons, simply the best cartoons EVER!
And I don't say that simply because these were the cartoons of my childhood. I say that because the characters, many of which are voiced by Mel Blanc, are iconic, the phrases have become part of our national lexicon. "What's up doc?" "Shhhh, I'm hunting wabbits." Sufferin' succatash." "I thought I saw a putty tat." "Th' th' that's all folks." And even the roadrunner's "Beep beep."
The first disc focuses on the undisputed leader of Looney Tunes (OK, maybe disputed by Daffy Duck) Bugs Bunny. The smart, wiley, and wascally wabbit gets out of every situation...many times by cross dressing (LOL) and confounds everyone from Elmer Fudd to the Tasmanian Devil.
The second disc concentrates on Daffy, who SOOOO wants to be Bugs, but just can't quite make it there. Daffy and his terminal complexes (superiority, inferiority among others) is frickin' hilarious. The feud between Duck Season and Rabbit Season is among the best of the cartoons.
The third and fourth discs bring in the rest of the Looney Tunes cast. Porky Pig, the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote (you think he would not order from Acme anymore), Sylvester, Tweety Bird and Granny, Pepe le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn and many others.
These tunes are original and fun, and funny as hell. They are not dated at all, and the violence that I remember so many complaining about is such cartoon violence that I can't believe anyone would thing it is real or harmful. Really, how many times can Wile E. be blown up and still come after the roadrunner?
This is a great collection and some of the extras are great too. Fun fun fun!!

I LOVE Pepe le Pew! He's so funny! By the way, how many videos of him were in the DVD?
