Customer Rating:      Summary: Looney Tunes DVD Comment: Nice to see the old cartoons we saw as kids. Can't find them on tv anymore. If you are a fan of them I highly recommend getting them. The price from Amazon was better than at the store.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great classic looney tunes! Comment: My family and I have really enjoyed watching the Looney Tunes DVDS. There are some great classic cartoons in the set. The shipping was prompt and the product received in great condition. I am very pleased with my purchase. I recommend this DVD set for anyone who likes the great classic cartoons.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Illudium Phosdex Comment: Many (but not all) of the greats! A great price for all the cartoons. Of course, these used to be free on TV ....
Customer Rating:      Summary: Cartoon classics Comment: This collection has the big red monster cartoons that I was looking for. Hard to do because I don't know the names of the cartoons.
My kids (10 and 7) and I love these cartoons. Great for the DVD player in the car/plane.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Looney tunes Comment: They're are the classics!!
I purchased it for our little girl, but my wife thinks some of them are too violent! Come on, I never tried to drop an anvil on my little brother's head or anything like that. Even when we were very little we knew it wasn't something you did to anybody, besides most of Wiley Coyote's injuries were only temporary and self inflicted.
I really got it for myself anyway!

Editorial Reviews:

For years, animation buffs have waited impatiently for the Warner Bros. cartoons to appear on DVD. The Warner shorts never commanded the budgets and prestige of the Disney and MGM films, and won fewer Oscars than they deserved. But decades after the best ones were created, they remain the quintessential Hollywood cartoons: brash, fast-paced, aggressively funny and uniquely American. Virtually everyone in the U.S. under the age of 60 grew up on these films, in theaters and on TV. The 56 cartoons in the set (out of a studio output of over 1,000) were transferred from good prints--which means the viewer can see dust, scratches, and occasional mistakes by the cel painters. The films are all presented uncut, in defiance of the killjoys who have insisted on censoring alleged "violence" in the versions shown on television. Warner Bros. is obviously testing consumer response with this set. Although the erratic selection includes many classics, purists will argue (correctly) that it offers neither a fair representation of the directors' oeuvres, nor anything approaching a coherent history of the characters or studio style. (Nearly half the films were directed by Chuck Jones; only three are by Bob Clampett, and there's nothing by Tex Avery or Frank Tashlin.) But it seems petty to carp about omissions and biases when the discs offer excellent, uncensored prints of some of the funniest films ever made in the U.S.--or anywhere else. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
