Amazon.com: 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.

Great Buy - Must Have for all you Looney Tunes Lovers Ordered this a few weeks ago and enjoyed every episode. Would recommend you purchase this DVD and reminisce...Came perfectly sealed and On-Time.. Ronnie, BX, NY..
A great gift! I added this as one of the more nostalgic gifts for my son's 21st birthday. He's always loved cartoons, especially the looney tune classics. He was thrilled with the gift!
Old Friends I grew up with these cartoons. They are not the same anymore. I think they are funnier as an adult. True genius and creativity. I cherish the memories.
Looney Tunes This is an excellent collection in one package. I grew up with Looney Tunes and my children have never seen it. Listening to my children laugh so hard and talk about it afterward is a major reward for me. Yeah, I watched it too. This is my first golden collection. I am hoping the other volumes in the collection will be of this quality.
Great I love these old bugs bunny cartoon's, the only thing was they had a lot of dust showing on the video from the original films.
