The fifth collection of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies continues Warner Bros.' scattershot approach, mixing classics and obscurities. Among the best-known and funniest cartoons are "Ali Baba Bunny" (Daffy yelling, "I'm rich! I'm socially secure!"), "Bewitched Bunny" (Witch Hazel galloping off in a cloud of hair pins), and "Buccaneer Bunny" (a sterling example of one of director Friz Freleng's favorite gags: having the characters run up and down stairs and in and out of various doors). "Gold Diggers of '49" and "Little Red Walking Hood" show Tex Avery beginning to explore the self-reflexive gags that would be become one of the hallmarks of his mature style. In "Walking Hood," Grandma stops the action to answer the phone and place her order with the grocer--including a case of gin. "The Daffy Doc" is Bob Clampett at his most surreal, with Daffy and Porky getting sucked into an iron lung, bulging and shrinking like balloon animals. Some of the earliest cartoons predate the adoption of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" as the theme song for the Warner Bros. cartoons. Many shorts from the early '30s were built around songs from Warner's musicals: "I've Got to Sing a Torch Song" (written for Gold Diggers of 1933) features caricatures of Mae West, George Bernard Shaw, Benito Mussolini, and Bing Crosby frolicking to the title tune. Greta Garbo delivers the closing, "That's All, Folks!" Like the previous four sets, Golden Collection Volume 5 comes loaded with extras that range from three WWII films in which Mr. Hook urges sailors to buy war bonds to "Extremes and In-Betweens: A Life in Animation" (2000), a documentary about Oscar-winning director Chuck Jones. Many of these cartoons will have viewers of all ages in stitches. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, ethnic stereotypes, mild risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

In contrast with some of the other reviewers for this set I LOVE the older cartoons! "A Tale of Two Kitties" is one of my favorites and one that I had been waiting for. Tweety's original appearance and his somewhat sadistic personality are absolutely terrific. "Whadya know. I wan out of piddies." A great parody of Abbott and Costello! The Private Snafu and Mr. Hook shorts! The documentary on Chuck Jones. Beautiful living black and white shorts! Yay! "Eatin' on the Cuff." What a terrific little short! ... Read More

I agree with others who have complained about Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Five. While the first four volumes had some of the really old stuff, Volume Five is all but saturated with them.
It is not that the really old, black-and-white cartoons have no merit. In their time, they were surely exceptional, mainly because there was nothing else to compare them to. Think about it--in the early days of cartoon animation, making a non-living character appear to move on a screen was truly ... Read More

this is alright, but if they were smart, they would have organized each character into their own dvd sets. first off, they needed to put the other two abbott and costello parody cartoons on with the one they amazingly did add on this set! secondly, they keep ignoring foghorn leghorn, volume 6 better have a whole dvd with a good 20 of those. but these volumes are sloppy, i dont want some 30 year old morons personal favorite picks just because that screwball works at WB, they should come out with ALL bugs bunny ...

Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 is packed with lots of great classic cartoons that were made from a different era. This collection is equally great as the previous four volumes. At a time when standards were different, animators were free of making these fun likable animated shorts that were made from the depression era to the baby boomer era. These cartoons are completely uncut, just the way they were released at the movies. They're digitcally remastered so you can hear great sound and see a great ... Read More

Old and Boring. 'nuff said.
We really enjoyed the first four collections, but this one felt like Warner was intentionally trying to rip off consumers. They could have tried to include a few funny ones on discs 3 and 4. The first two discs were just kinda funny, but, for the price, not worth our time. Next time I'll believe other negative reviews and pass, if I see the word old or boring.
