Description:
RESTORED, REMASTERED AND REE-DICULOUS: COMPLETELY UNCUT AND UNCENSORED LOONEY-NESS, INCLUDING SOME HOME VIDEO DEBUTS! You know what you want. More three-day weekends. More ounces in a pound of chocolates. More Looney Tunes. Your wish is our command. Because in this 4-disc set are 60 more of the most looneytic Looney Tunes ever unleashed on rabbit, duck, pig or humanity. Indeed, some have never before been on home video! Disc 1 features the tall, gray and haresome one. Disc 2 lampoons Hollywood. Ham actor Porky Pig rules Disc 3. And Disc 4 has the duck and a cast of crazies. One thing: to watch these, you must be as tall as this sign. Wrong disclaimer. Read the one in the box below. Got the idea? Now have fun. And pass the chocolates. Disclaimer Box Copy: The Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 3 Is Intended for the Adult Collector and May Not Be Suitable for Children.

Like the previous entries in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, volume 3 confirms how brilliant the Warner Bros. artists were and how durable their creations have proven. The set includes classics that every cartoon buff will recognize: "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!," "Robin Hood Daffy," "Birds Anonymous." Other selections are less familiar but significant in the development of the studio: "Sinkin' in the Bathtub," the first Looney Tune; "I Haven't Got a Hat," the earliest Warners cartoon viewers can watch for fun, rather than as an historic curiosity; "Porky's Romance," in which director Frank Tashlin introduced rapid cutting to cartoons. Some of the caricature films have aged less gracefully. Younger audiences will recognize the drawn versions of W.C. Fields, the Marx Brothers, Katharine Hepburn, and Charlie Chaplin. But will anyone under the age of 60 remember Edna Mae Oliver, George Arliss, or Ned Sparks?

The producers have once again loaded the discs with supplemental material, including "Point Food Rationing," a unseen short explaining wartime ration books; a BBC documentary on Chuck Jones; and interstitial animated sequences for The Bugs Bunny Show. "Philbert" ranks as the oddest of the extras: an unsold (and leaden) pilot from 1963, featuring live actors and an animated title character. Whoopi Goldberg introduces the set, explaining that some of the ethnic gags would no longer be considered appropriate. But she correctly adds that to remove them would falsify both the history of animation and American popular culture. It all adds up to a set every cartoon fan will want. (Unrated, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Who needs Fort Knox when you have this Gold!!!
Better reviews and plenty of valid commendations have been given to this wonderful collection already so I will just add my humble two cents about one disc in particular.

After excitingly perusing the contents, I was eager to watch all cartoons immediately but the disc I expected the least from was the Porky Pig Disc as Porky never stood out in my childhood memories, always being upstaged by Bugs and Daffy...

BOY was I wrong!!! The Porky cartoons are AMAZING! Incredibly ... Read More

The Looney Tunes Golden Collection series has been a godsend for fans, but only serious collectors will probably be enthralled beyond this third volume. There are still plenty of classics herein, including some of my personal favorites that were not included in the first two sets, and that makes this third set worth the purchase. But the "greatest hits" strategy of the Golden Collection, with the cartoon shorts compiled categorically rather than chronologically, inevitably runs out of steam with ... Read More

They just don't make cartoons like these any more. I laugh out loud when I watch them and this Christmas I am giving them as gifts for posterity!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol 3

This is a great collection of Looney Tunes. Makes three of the five collections I own and a welcome addition. Recommend it highly.
