Looney Tunes DVDs!!!!!!

Looney Tunes Golden Collection contains 56 cartoons on 4 DVDs.

Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume Two contains 60 cartoons on 4 DVDs.

Both collections contain audio commentaries, interviews, documentaries, and other extras.

All cartoons are uncut and uncensored.

I have both of these sets, and I love them very much.

Anyone else here have any thoughts or opinions on these?

with one of the Looney Tunes directors, Chuck Jones, which they re-aired recently, because of the DVDs. Jones said that they often put in a pornographic frame-just one frame-in a cartoon short just to mess with the producers and others from the front office. He said they had meetings they called "Yes" meetings, because if you couldn't say yes to a concept that was pitched, you were quiet as the idea was developed. He really liked the Road Runner cartoons, because they showed how much versatility you could get into a set formula with set rules.

What do they cost? And do they contain the WWII propaganda 'toons?

Each set has a suggested price of about $65, and sells in stores and at online retailers for about $50.

Neither set has any of the World War II propaganda cartoons.

However, the sets are being compiled by Looney Tunes historians, who plan to eventually release uncensored versions of every Looney Tunes cartoon ever made. At this rate, that would be about 17 or 18 sets. However, as the amount of available extras declines, there may be more than 60 cartoons per set.

I picked up Disney's WWII box set and while I was watching it, I was constantly thinking to my self "this is cool, but I'd way rather be watching Warner Brothers."

But the first one is truly a gem.

Now if somebody could just put out the pre-TV Popeye in a quality set I will be a happy man.

"Kukla, Fran, and Ollie."

Remember them?

I loved them when I was a kid, but, watching them as an adult, I realized that they were just filthy! I mean, the sly jokes and allusions and innuendo. Shame on them. How fabulous Bur Tilstrom was, and what a great sport Fran was.

Ever notice how Beulah Witch is a double for Mother Teresa?

I've loved Looney Tunes from the beginning of my life. As early as I can remember, seeing them in the movies, before the main feature - this goes back to the 1950s, kids - and ever since.

In the courtroom, whenever I'd be nervous, I'd (seriously) think to myself, "What would Bugs do?" And I always knew Bugs would push it on through, no matter what the obstacles might be. No, I never represented anything named "Acme," fortunately.

I was lucky enough to meet Chuck Jones, the animator, a number of years ago. I told him how Bugs had helped me out when I was just beginning my career, and he opined that Bugs, deep down, probably had the soul of a lawyer. We laughed, and agreed not to decide if that was a good or a bad thing.

He gave me a signed sketch of Bugs that's one of my all-time greatest treasures.

Now, I gotta get me them DVDs. Thanks for the hint.

There are lots of Vol. 2 up for auction - prices under 50 bucks.
