Genre: Children's Video Rating: NR Release Date: 14-NOV-2006 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Like previous installments, the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 mixes favorites from the Warner Bros. archives with relatively obscure older works. Chuck Jones' "Mississippi Hare" and Friz Freleng's "Sahara Hare" and "Knighty-Knight Bugs" (which won an Oscar) offer hilarious performances by Bugs. Two of Jones' earliest films, "The Night Watchman" and "Conrad the Sailor" prefigure his use of subtle expressions in his later cartoons. The disc of shorts by Frank Tashlin includes "Plane Daffy": pigeon see-duck-tress Hatta Mari anticipates Jayne Mansfield in such later Tashlin live-action comedies as Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? Not all of these films have aged as gracefully. Younger viewers will probably not catch the references to Charlie McCarthy, Bill Robinson, and other old film and radio stars. The Speedy Gonzalez cartoons feature ethnic humor that seems embarrassing today; it's also crashingly unfunny. Each disc offers a disclaimer about stereotypes, noting, "they were wrong then and are wrong today." The discs are loaded with extras that range from a partial set of storyboards for "Sahara Hare" to three of the "Private Snafu" shorts, which were made for the "Army-Navy Screen Magazine" during WW II. The oddest extra is the documentary Bugs Bunny Superstar, which infuriated many of the Warner Bros. artists when it was released in 1977. Much of its information should be taken with a grain of salt. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, some ethnic stereotypes, mild risqué humor, alcohol & tobacco use) --Charles Solomon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Twenty starsRoad runner fanatic. This has a full RR/WC disk. My kids love it. First choice when they are sick and need distracted: better than SpongeBob, Pink Panther, Anamaniacs........... Rating:  - Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume FourVolume four is a slight improvement over volume three in the Looney Tunes Collection. It's a four disc collection with fifteen shorts per disc for a total of sixty cartoons. As in previous sets each disc has a theme. Disc one is "Bugs Bunny Favorites"; Bugs Bunny has been the lead off set in every edition thus far. Disc two is "A Dash of Tashlin" that features Porky Pig. Disc three is "Speedy Gonzalez in a Flash" which features "the fastest mouse in all Mexico". Disc four is "Kitty Korner", a set ...

Rating: - Stereotypes aside..I am tired of a world that is so PC that we see cartoonists being killed for some religion. These were never taken literally by any 8 year older I knew in the fities or sixties. But let's get serious, if it means fun, it's better to show nudity, profanity or anti-moral issues than some cayote being blown up by an acme whatchamacallit. Shame on me...but thse are classic laughter. Rating: - class cartoons of the early 1900's centuryI am dispointed that these loonley tunes vare no longer going to be allowed on tv. This is sad and wrong. I love these cartoons and when I watch them I was only ten years and they were from my mother generation and even a bit before them. i will have no problem showing them to my kids or grand kids someday. |
