Fifteen cartoons dating from World War II give Volume 6 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection more focus than previous sets. Many of the 1940's cartoons remain very funny. Bugs Bunny dresses up as Brunnhilda and rides in to the strains of "Tannhauser" in "Herr Meets Hare" (1945), a gag Chuck Jones re-used to greater effect in "What's Opera, Doc" a dozen years later. In "Russian Rhapsody" (1940) some of the gremlins who sabotage Hitler's bomber are caricatures of the Warner Bros. artists. Chuck Jones appears as a chunky, pinkish-tan homunculus swinging a mallet; Friz Freleng is a little green man with a saw-like nose. Younger viewers may find the references to wartime shortages puzzling--or fail to recognize the caricatures of Hermann Goering, Hideki Tojo and Joseph Stalin. Some of the other cartoons can still bring down the house, including "Satan's Waitin'" (1954), in which Sylvester manages to lose all nine of his lives in pursuit of Tweety, and "Bear Feat" (1949), another exercise in futility for Jones' Three Bears. The early musicals featuring Bosko, Foxy (or Freddy Fox) and Buddy have not aged well. Created by Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising, these characters were modeled on Felix the Cat and Mickey Mouse, but lack charm and personality. Some more recent films reveal how social attitudes have changed. "Wild Wife," a spoof of a suburban housewife's tribulations, may have seemed hilarious in 1954; today, it's just a laundry list of sexist gags. Like the previous installments, Volume 6 comes loaded with extras. The rarest are five shorts Friz Freleng directed at MGM in 1938. Producer Fred Quimby lured Freleng away from Warner Bros.--only to insist he adapt the comic strip "The Captain and the Kids," Rudolph Dirks' version of "The Katzenjammer Kids." Freleng correctly predicted the films would flop as the characters were "the meanest little bastards in the world," and soon returned to Warners. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, ethnic stereotypes, mild risqué humor, alcohol & tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

This final Golden Collection has some great classic Looney Tunes that I have been waiting for. The most anticipated for me was 'Satan's Waitin'' in which Sylvester goes to Hell numerous times as he uses up his nine lives, egged on by the bulldog Devil. This was taken out of the Saturday morning rotation many years ago. We also get the first Yosemite Sam cartoon 'Hare Trigger'. Other standouts are 'Often an Orphan' with Charlie Dog and Porky ("I'm 50 percent pointer. There it is, there it is, there ... Read More

This collection is okay, and you should buy it if you want to have a complete collection, but overall this set isn't as enjoyable as the earlier sets. Historically, though, they are great to watch.

This product is a good overall buy. What i am seeing though is that the first discs have the best cartoons on them. Then the later discs contain mostly filler (much older black and white cartoons). These older cartoons are not very entertaining and will not keep kids attention.

I love Looney Tunes cartoons, except for most of the ones on volume 6. I'm a Bugs and friends person, and I do not like the old, forgotten, Disney knockoff, original characters. Most of this stuff is from that lot of toons. The 'extras' contained a few that I liked, but most of the rest were skipped.
If you like Bugs, Elmer, Porky, Sylvester, Tweety, and friends, but don't like old black and white characters that are basically Disney clones, don't waste your money! I only paid $23 ... Read More

This is a brilliant compilation of some of the best and some of the least-remembered from the golden age of studio animation. Chief among these are the Disc 2 shorts from World War II. Bugs, Daffy and their pals repeatedly thumb their nose in "der fuhrer's face" and rekindle the spirit of what it was like to live during the war years. Also notable in this collection are the many one-shots that are fondly remembered, but rarely seen. Usually descriptions of these cartoons include, "Remember the one with..." ... Read More
