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 for volume 6, and that was $22 too much!

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..." and can often be recalled by a simple catch phrase: "No, not that! Not the birdbath!"... "This time, we DIDN'T forget the GRAVY"... etc. The Bosko shorts were less interesting for me, but they provide a great introduction to the two-tone years that did not feature that little Mouse from Disney. For those that love cartoons, this set is a must...

No one can do it better that Looney Tunes. I have all six collections and view them often.

As always, includes the best from the era. Thanks for not making me sit through 10 minutes of explanation of what is right by today's standards. A notice works out just fine.
Looney Tunes remain the very best in cartoons. You will never match that era and imagination. Computers can allow special effects, but these remain a true feeling of the time and written with excellence.
My only beef is they use that stupid center cut technology so part of the cartoon has been cut off. If you restore something, amke it so we can see ALL the picture, not just the middle section. You take the time to do it in the opening credits, and tnt or cartoon network did that one year during a June Bugs marathon. Good for them. I enjoy it more when I can see what the writer and producer wanted me to see.

Either by luck or by listening to fans, Warner finally got something right with this latest collection. In the previous sets, each contained a disc with cartoons featuring a particular Looney Tunes character. This was okay if you were in the mood to see a bunch of great Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck cartoons, but most people--I believe--prefer seeing a mix of cartoons, rather than watching cartoon after cartoon of the same character, more or less stuck in the same formula. (Really, did anyone out there have a desire to see 12 Tweety and Sylvester teamups or 12 Speedy Gonzales cartoons in a row?)
With the final collection, Warner has two good discs--the first and the last--with mostly great cartoons covering multiple characters. Maybe if they'd gone that route from the get-go they wouldn't be forced to discontinue the series due to diminishing sales.
As for the excellent Mel Blanc documentary--what took so long? Blanc was probably the single-most important player in success of Looney Tunes, and he has to wait until volume 6 to get recognized?
