This set of cartoons will absolutely thrill both young and older, the characters, the style, the content, all of which were written and voiced so well, the viewer will be entertained. There is a definitive innocense, all the while there also exists a subtle humor intended for the adult. These cartoons will never again be produced in such a way, I therefore recommend that anyone interested in intelligent cartoons, combined with innocense, these are it.

Like many thirty-somethings, I grew up on Looney Tunes. The hilarious exploits of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, the Road Runner, and the gang never failed to disappoint, even when I'd seen the episodes several times over. There was something always fresh and funny about these 'toons.
As an adult, I can appreciate the art behind the 'toons a lot better. And it's definitely there. But still, the main reason we have cartoons is for kids to laugh. So I thought this collection would be perfect for my two girls (both under 6 years old).
For the most part, I was right. Of the four DVDs worth of material, about three-and-a-half are guaranteed to keep my girls in stitches - and they had never seen Bugs Bunny before. (A shameless parenting failure on my part.) Whether it's Bugs wondering if he should have made the left turn at Albuquerque, Yosemite Sam shrieking "Gold! Gold!", or Porky Pig stuttering like there's no tomorrow, these Looney Tunes keep my girls laughing.
But there are several entries, mainly on Disc 4, that are just too darn old and dated to be of much fun. That's not a criticism of the material, but just a recognition that these were aimed at a different audience- people sitting in theaters waiting for the next film to start. I don't care that many of the cartoons feature racial or ethnic stereotypes - these comic archetypes are a bit startling today, but I don't consider them harmful. But after watching Disc 4 once with the girls, the lack of laughter was reason enough to refrain from ever putting it in the player again.
I was also disappointed that there were no appearances by Marvin the Martian or Wile E. Coyote in this compilation, but you can't have everything. All in all, a darn good collection of 'toons.

I got this for my brother for Christmas. I wasn't sure which volume to get so I took a stab in the dark. Hope he likes it!

I loved Looney Tunes when I was a kid over 40 years ago and my 6 year old son loves them just a much. This is a product worth its weight in gold.

Granted that I would completely reorganize these issues (and the sales would suffer because a smaller number of people would want an entire set of black and white Porgys, etc.) but this in particular is the heart of the Looney Tunes. Clampett, Bugs and Daffy, early Porgys, wartime shorts. I wish all of Clampetts' work was on one set, remarkable stuff, but given the economics I'll take it and say thank you. Particularly as discounted here.
