Product Description
A collection of well known Looney tunes cartoons.
Amazon.com
For years, animation buffs have waited impatiently for the Warner Bros. cartoons to appear on DVD. The Warner shorts never commanded the budgets and prestige of the Disney and MGM films, and won fewer Oscars than they deserved. But decades after the best ones were created, they remain the quintessential Hollywood cartoons: brash, fast-paced, aggressively funny and uniquely American. Virtually everyone in the U.S. under the age of 60 grew up on these films, in theaters and on TV. The 56 cartoons in the set (out of a studio output of over 1,000) were transferred from good prints--which means the viewer can see dust, scratches, and occasional mistakes by the cel painters. The films are all presented uncut, in defiance of the killjoys who have insisted on censoring alleged "violence" in the versions shown on television. Warner Bros. is obviously testing consumer response with this set. Although the erratic selection includes many classics, purists will argue (correctly) that it offers neither a fair representation of the directors' oeuvres, nor anything approaching a coherent history of the characters or studio style. (Nearly half the films were directed by Chuck Jones; only three are by Bob Clampett, and there's nothing by Tex Avery or Frank Tashlin.) But it seems petty to carp about omissions and biases when the discs offer excellent, uncensored prints of some of the funniest films ever made in the U.S.--or anywhere else. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

 Thank's Warner Brothers For Leaving These Untouched. August 24, 2010
Armchair Pundit (Durham City, England.)
Madcap, zany, and many other adjectives, and all utterly hilarious. Oh Sylvester when will you ever learn to leave Tweety alone.
This collection is packed with characters that still enchant children (and me) even in these cynical times. The loads of extras were a nice touch I didn't expect. I also wanted to purchase MGM's Tom & Jerry and Mr Magoo, but after hearing the PC police have been interferring with them, they will not now be purchased, damn shame.
I despise PCism, it's wrong to thrust our 21st century sensibilites onto earlier documents that reflect a different age and viewpoint, it smacks of arrogance that we are right and they were wrong. Artistic expression should be regarded as sacrosanct, not something that is allowed to be interfered with when morals and mores change.
Anyway, there's more laughs in one of these ten minute cartoons then in a whole series of sitcoms.

Exactly what I wanted. I wanted to share memories of my Saturday mornings with my children. It's perfect. And the price is better on Amazon.com than retail.
EXCELLENT JOB! July 17, 2010

I don't think they could have made Golden Collection (6 sets: 1-6) any better!
PLEASE come out with more as a good sized collector's sets! there are 1,001 cartoons from 1929-1969 & we need to have this preserved & out for us to enjoy!

One of the best purchases of the year! The characterizations of Hitler and Stalin are priceless. I love the opening apology - "they weren't appropriate then, and they aren't appropriate now." Either way, hilarious all the way. Looney Tunes rocks!!
 Didn't get it June 8, 2010

After receiving an email on 4/30 that my item shipped, I finally requested a return on 5/12. I never received the product. At least my account was credited for the refund.
