Excellent Material Throughout, But Where's the Rest?
The six volumes of WB cartoons in these set contain a total of 24 discs. After buying each volume, one at a time, I thought that I finally had a comprehensive collection of all the best WB cartoons ever made. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. Sorry to be a "glass half empty" guy, but a large number of memorable Looney Tunes classics were somehow left out!
There is easily enough good material to fill another 4-disc volume! I wish Warner Brothers went up to seven volumes instead of stopping at six. Seven volumes (of about 60 cartoons each) would have been the ideal number in order to include all the best.
The cartoons on this set all have superb picture quality, especially considering how old some of them are. (Compare some of the cartoons in this set with the same WB cartoons in cheap public domain collections and you'll see what I mean!)
In recent years WB cartoons have often been tampered with for TV broadcasts, for both "political correctness" (chopping...
NOT the Looney Tunes Omnibus
I love the Looney Toons but have been apprehensive up to this point at the prospect of hunting down individual volumes of the golden collection. Thankfully my patience has been rewarded by this beautiful box set. It's incredible to have 350+ films together in one package. The box art is fun and the presentation of each volume is pleasing. See my pics and you'll see that they didn't skimp on the individual cases to each volume. They could have crammed the discs into smaller cases but they didn't. At $90 this is an incredible value, as each individual volume retailed for $50. The special features are very thoughtful and well researched and truly delve into the back story of the people who made this series as timeless and beloved as it is today. This is an absolute must for those who, like me, have waited for the compilation. If you have collected the individual volumes in the past there isn't anything new for you, however. My one little qualm is that the individual volumes are so...
Contains over 350 Looney Tunes!
Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 1-6 collects all 6 volumes of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection (24 DVDs in total) into one package, at a very low price. I bought all 6 volumes separately years ago, and have been enjoying them immensely.
What you get here is a huge amount of cartoons with Bugs, Daffy, Porky, and Elmer, as well as a decent amount of Tweety and Sylvester, Road Runner, Speedy Gonzales, and Yosemite Sam. Foghorn Leghorn and Pepe Le Pew also appear, although they are underrepresented in this set.
There are also cartoons featuring more obscure characters such as Marvin the Martian, Tasmanian Devil, Hubie and Berty, Marc Antony and Pussyfoot, Chuck Jones' Three Bears, Witch Hazel, Michigan J. Frog, Owl Jolson, Buddy, Bosko, and many others, as well as some characters who were never named. Some of the cartoons here are old black and white cartoons from the early 1930s which I had never seen before.
On top of that, every one of the 24...
