Here's what's up, Doc: 56 mostly classic Warner Bros. cartoons from the studio's 1940s and '50s heyday. This essential -- if not definitive -- four-disc set gloriously illustrates the simple method to the Warners' madness: The animators didn’t make these cartoons for children, but rather to amuse themselves. They countered Disney's more artful Silly Symphonies with their own Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, and they don't come loonier or merrier than the Warners’ stable of cartoon icons. All are represented here, including the titanic trio of "wascally wabbit" Bugs Bunny (ranked by TV Guide as the greatest cartoon character of all time), Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig. Further all-stars from the Looney Tunes universe include Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Road Runner, Pepe Le Pew, Tweety, Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, the Goofy Gophers, and rodent duo Hubie and Bertie. It doesn't get any better than "Rabbit Seasoning," "Rabbit of Seville," and "Duck Amuck." This set also includes such lesser-known stand-alone gems as Chuck Jones's "Feed the Kitty." But that's not all, folks. Animation buffs will treasure segments devoted to the animators, peerless voice artist Mel Blanc, and musical maestro Carl Stalling, as well as illuminating cartoon commentary and a documentary chronicling the golden age of Warner cartoons narrated by Stan Freberg. Considering Warners' prodigious output, it is understandable that several masterworks might be missing in action. But no "What's Opera, Doc"? No "One Froggy Evening"? No "Little Red Riding Rabbit"? To quote Bugs: Of course you know this means war! Donald Liebenson, Barnes & Noble

June 04, 2009: Parental watch groups messed up the cartoon industry. The old 'Tunes' are the BEST. Sure people smoke tobacco and there might be a slightly politically incorrect statement here or there, BUT SO WHAT!

They need to go back on television in their UNCUT form like when I was a kid growing up in the 70's.
