This is a good collection, but it is only for the avid Looney Tunes and vintage cartoon collector, like me. Some of these shorts may not be interesting to some people, including children. Most of these cartoons are World War 2 propaganda, which were shown at movie theaters at the time, encouraging people to buy victory bonds for defense. There is also some violence.
I recommend the Spotlight Collection Vol.6 for those who want more of the cartoons that were shown on television. If you are not a collector of vintage cartoons of an era, than this collection is not for you.

A remarkable collection once again! I'll never understand why these are not still shown regularly on cable. This collection is a bit heavy with WWII, but that is a bonus for the viewer, really. Very few of these toons were shown with any real consistency, so this may not be the best choice for a fan looking to walk down memory lane. I loved it for just that reason, and I think most hardcore fans will also. Add it to your collection...

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 it is") the all time classic 'Chow Hound' ("Don't forget the gravy!") as well as the 1942 collaboration with Dr Seuss 'Horton Hatches the Egg'. The extras and packaging, as usual, are also fantastic
Unfortunately this collection also suffers from the same problem (although to an even greater extent) as the previous two collections in that far too many cartoons from the 1930's are included. These are pretty much only interesting from a historical perspective since this was definitely NOT the golden age of WB/Schlesinger cartoons.
If the collections had primarily stuck to the 1940-1960s timespan then all of these sets would be beyond reproach. A couple of the Buddy/Bosko/Foxy cartoons from the early 30s go a long way. There are also a few pretty unfunny selections on the WWII themed disc. The producers of this package evidently chose to feature so many of these because they need to burn off the mediocre cartoons in their backlist while still leaving enough of the best of the classic era of Looney Tunes (app 1944-1960) available for future sets. Out of the 4 discs there are about 2 1/2 discs of worthy cartoons. Not really worth the original 69.99 price tag.
Having said that, now that the price has dropped to the much more reasonable 24.99 you should snap this up immediately! Just skip most of the 'toons on disc 3 and some on disc 2 and you'll be more than satisfied.

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.
