Favorite Looney Tunes characters Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Elmer Fudd offer plenty of laughs in this second volume of Looney Tunes fun, as do a handful of lesser-known, but equally endearing characters like Cecil Turtle, Nasty Canasta, Beaky Buzzard, and A. Flea. Favorite classic episodes include Bugs Bunny's first Academy Award winner "A Wild Hare"; "Back Alley Oproar," in which Sylvester the cat keeps Elmer Fudd awake all night; Foghorn Leghorn's efforts to prove that he's a chicken and not a schnook in "The Foghorn Leghorn"; the live-action animation piece "You Ought to Be in Pictures"; and Speedy Gonzales's attempt to get his inebriated mouse friends home safely in "Tabasco Road." The Nasty Canasta cartoons are fun parodies on the then-popular western genre; Cecil Turtle puts a whole new spin on the fairy tale "The Tortoise and the Hare"; the bashful, lackadaisical Beaky Buzzard wins hearts in a quartet of episodes; and two A. Flea episodes leave you itching for more. The gags, humor, and nonstop action throughout these cartoons are plenty entertaining. But what's really great about this collection is that it's absolutely bursting with special features that explore everything from the animators, producers, and directors, to the history of how Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies first got started, and even Warner Brothers' wartime partnership with the army. Collectors will love the segments about directors Tex Avery, Isadore "Friz" Freleng, and Bob Clampett and how each man changed and shaped the world of cartoon animation in general and Warner Brothers' characters in specific, as well as a featurette about producer Leon Schlesinger and his hands-off, profit-seeking style of leadership. The special collection of wartime Private Snafu shorts--cartoons used in military training during World War II which were not released for public viewing until many years later--offers an interesting look at what was a very practical use of a popular art form. Also included are collections of Avery's and Freleng's cartoons produced after the men left Warner Brothers for MGM, as well as a trio of Mr. Hook cartoons that were written for the navy to encourage the purchase of war bonds. Add in hours of individual cartoon commentaries and plenty of interview footage with animators, directors, producers, and animation historians, and there's plenty to keep everyone--from the nostalgic cartoon fan reliving his or her childhood to cartoon connoisseur and animation historian--intrigued and entertained for days. These cartoons are no longer considered suitable for child viewing due to excessive cartoon violence, sexual innuendo, and racial and ethnic stereotyping. --Tami Horiuchi

1) The content was NEVER intended for Children to be the main audience. A lot of (mis-directed) criticism has been thrown towards Warner Bros. for the violence and racial comedy in these cartoons. Although the cartoons are (mostly) appropriate for all ages, the original intended audience was the adult American movie goer. These cartoons were created to be shown at the movie theater, on the big screen, before the main show. it was in the 1940's, 50's & 60's considered to be part of an 'evenings entertainment" at the cinema.
2) To "whitewash" or to pretend that some of the material is obviously racially insensitive and abusive is to "whitewash" and ignore the reality of American culture of the time period when these films were created. America at that time was a racist and segregateonal society. This is an undisputable fact and any attempt to downplay or ignore this is an affront to the victims of the abuse.
Racism is wrong, has always been wrong,
But to act as if it has never existed in our culture is even more wrong, it's insulting.
With that out of the way, this wonderful collection of cartoons has to be among the greatest film treasures for ANY fan of comedy. If you are from my age group (mid-30's) then you will no doubt recall some of these cartoons from your Saturday mornings.
When I was young, these cartoons was hilarious. As an adult, the same cartoons are even more funny, and for all different reasons. The "gang from termite terrace" were some very funny and clever fellows, and it shows all through this collection.
The blue-ray HD quality of the films is AMAZING. Especially when you compare it side by side to the old TV Show quality. Breathtaking.
And did I mention that these cartoons are SOOOO FUNNY!!!! I am looking forward to sharing these treasures with my newborn son when the time is right, and hopefully, my grandchildren in the future.
In contrast to the garbage that is released as "comedy" in modern times, these cartoons are actually FUNNY and will make you LAUGH.
However, what is wrong with these people? First off, why would they bunch together these shorts in long strings of ones that feature the same characters? Even the same themes of the same characters? The worst of this is the three pronoun trouble Bugs-Daffy-Elmer shorts. I mean, it's not so bad to watch them back-to-back-to-back, but remember Saturday mornings when these things aired on tv? They came on in an order that allowed variety. It was such great fun to go from Bugs to Tweety to Speedy Gonzalez to Foghorn Leghorn, and so on all morning long. What were they thinking? If you want any shot at variety with these Blu-rays, you have to play one short at a time, returning to the menu to pick a new short every 7 minutes. Are you kidding me?
Then, there's the overall selections. I can't really complain too much. They did a decent job of gathering mostly essentials, but they were so close to nailing JUST the essentials that they should have gone ahead and done it. In the first (and only, it seems) three Blu-ray Platinum collections, they really should have just gone ahead and gathered the best 150 - at least a collection that COULD have passed as someone's reasonable Best 150 - Looney Tunes shorts. They did get what most reasonable fans would consider about the best 75-90 worked into it, so I'm thankful. But dang, they were so close to having something so great.
Oh, well. Five stars anyway. Because Looney Tunes rule.

(que se muestran en la portada del dvd) entre diferentes épocas con aproximadamente 3 horas cada uno. Está en el idioma ingles (el que yo escojo) y español. Si eres fan de los looney tunes clásicos pues no creo que te decepciónara. Lo único es que no esta en HD pero la imagen es aceptable. ¡Saludos de Jal, Mex! 😎
NOTE: This volume had a defect on one of the shorts that caused all of my blu-rays freeze so badly that they would not even power down unless I unplugged them. I reported the issue to Amazon, requesting a replacement and the replacement was shipped out LITERALLY 4 hours later on a SUNDAY and I had it in my hand 48 hrs later - for real. For this reason and many others, Amazon continues to be my go to shopping source. With over 180 family wide purchases, we have never had a problem of any kind and my first replacement request exceeded expectations.
UPDATE: Have thoroughly checked replacement disk set (which was a pleasure, not a chore) and this set is perfect.
Time to order volume 3!
