Honestly, what did I pay for exactly. There is something majorly wrong with this DVD set. 2 out of the 4 discs are complete garbage. I thought I was going to see cartoons with Bugs, Tweety, Sylvester, Daffy, etc. Instead, all I get is cartoon after cartoon of German / Nazi banter and WW II crap. They should rename this Looney Tunes WW II edition.... not Golden Collection. It's a waste of $. Don't bother.

This is the last in a great series of digitally restored Looney Tunes cartoons. It is very unfortunate that the series is ending since there is a lot of additional material that could be added to the series. The originality and depth of these cartoons cannot be matched by today's standards of animation. The freedom of expression was unlimited and the humor was not age specific. Gone is the golden age of the real cartoon, never again to grace the silver screen (or tv) in the current polarized arena of political correctness. Amazon sold this set for a very attractive price when compared to the suggested retail price sold by others. The free shipping for orders over $25 was also very appealing.

I am 47, and I don't know who Bosko is, nor did I find the cartoons funny. I am glad I have the rest of the Golden set, and that at least two of the 4 DVDs in Vol 6 are great.

Like the other five volumes hitherto issued in this series, this sixth collection is quite interesting for collectors of classical toons. The selection is quite varied, including both quite early b/w ones as well as quite a few of the rare WWII vintage, very typical in their propaganda style and therefore often excluded from other collections, as they're today hardly to be considered politically correct. Don't let the warning texts on the cover discourage you: These toons are funny for both grown-ups and kids: Actually much funnier than most of the crap issued during this century.

I have read all of the reviews for this product after viewing this collection. I do have all six collections now, and I am forced to agree with many of the reviewers who stated that Warner Brothers have only themselves to blame if these collections are not selling well enough to continue the series. I am obliged to believe that whoever is in charge of designing or arranging these collections either never watched them growing up or really has no idea and cares less about what the majority of fans want to see in these collections. Disc 1 is a catch all of most of the major characters, although again I am forced to agree with many who point out that Foghorn Leghorn and Yosemite Sam have been poorly represented in this series. Disc 2 is a collection of WWII propaganda cartoons that haven't been featured in previous collections, and frankly it is hit amd miss on this disc. Disc 3 is the biggest waste of space I have seen yet in any of these collections - all Bosko, Buddy, or Beans, none of which are Looney Tunes characters in the strict sense, and even the bonus cartoons are a loss. I am hardly a prude in any sense, but I found the World of Leon Schlesinger section (to put it plainly) vulgar in the extreme. Disc 4 is outstanding with many of the most requested miscellaneous shorts featured on this disc. Each disc features either three or four bonus cartoons with those on discs 1 and 4 being the best and some of those on disc 2. I did enjoy the featurette on Mel Blanc on Disc 4. Even allowing for the fact that by this time all the cherries have probably been picked, this collection would have been improved by putting more of what the fans want in it instead of putting out what WB evidently wanted to put out. More people will buy your product if you give them what they want, as opposed to what you want to sell. I think Looney Tunes are part of many people's pasts that they wish to retain and remember, and I think not only WB but all those who release classic TV programs and movies on DVD would do well to remember that. This collection is a good collection for those who want to have some of their favorite cartoons in their library, but it is not the best one by a long shot.
