If I'm to put up with politically correct disclaimers, at least let me get my money's worth, instead of ripping me off with second-best material.
Case in question: "Señorella and the Glass Huarache".
Now don't get me wrong, I am Mexican and not in the least offended by the depiction of my fellow nationals in the cartoon. Personally, I love Speedy Gonzalez, Slowpoke Rodriguez, the two lazy crows, the sombreroed cricket and every other ethnic pun aimed at Mexico and Mexicans. Keep them coming for all I care; I don't mind. In fact, shame on those who do!
But weak humor, tired ideas and limited animation, that I truly abhor. Señorella's only merit is that it was the last cartoon to be produced by the original WB studio. Aside from that, its storytelling is slow, the gags are predictable, and the entire thing has that cheap DePatie-Freleng look, in anticipation of toon decadence to come. Why put this insipid short and not the extraordinary "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves" that's kept locked in a vault? Now there's a comic masterpiece worth apologizing for! Why not release it,if it's already available on YouTube for free, only in substandard quality?
Warner might as well charge for it, complete with a sermon by Whoopy Goldberg and Ted Danson -in blackface, if it makes them feel better- decrying its content, instead of defrauding the consumer with a "Golden Collection" filled with nickel-and-dime stuff!

OK so I admit I'm a fan of ol'time animation. This collection is for the most part what I remember as a child. These were once the standard on Saturday morning. The fact that WB kept these uncut and not so PC by todays standard's is nice.

I found this set to be not only some of the worse cartoons but defective as well as several of the cartoons on the first and second DVD had broad green bands at the bottom of the picture. Also, the cartoon selection was horrible. To many Bugs Bunny cartoons and not enough the of the other great characters such as Yosemite Sam, Peppy L'Pew, Wile E. Coyote and Foghorn Leghorn. The cartoon Ali Baba Bunny is by far the worse cartoon ever done. The animation was all computer generated and lacked any of the style of the cartoons made before. And contrary to the statement made by an earlier reviewer that there were not enough Bugs Bunny cartoons - there were by far to many. I can only hope that the next volume is not defective.

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! That Veronica Lake spider is not exactly politically correct but funny?! I really enjoyed "I've got to sing a Torch Song." Greta Garbo, Zazu Pitts, Mae West. It makes me want to see their movies. Next time more of the black and white Porkys! Buy one of these for yourself and one for your Dad and Mom too!(Maybe one for your grandparents as well!)
