Darkwing Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Just bought. Been waiting for years to snag a good deal like this for Looney Tunes. Thanks EDIT: I notice that The Twilight Zone complete Blu-Ray collection is 170 dollars compared to the nearly 400 dollar regular price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I got the individual sets as they came out (much pricier, since I think they ran $60 a set). I've been too broke to get any of the new blu-ray releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkwing Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Since the set arrived, the family and I have been usually watching a bunch before having supper. It is nice to finally have these on DVD. So I must say, thanks for letting us all know that they had gone on sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I don't have the patience you guys have. I watched them cover to cover every time a volume was released. :-) What was great about having them (and the other cartoon DVDs I amassed when I was gainfully employed) was that I was able to introduce them to my nephews and give them a sort of animation education to try to counter the low quality TV animation they take in on a daily basis.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted May 6, 2013 I guess these Warner Brothers cartoons aren't really ON TV anymore, are they? I thought they would be a perpetual Saturday morning program but there isn't really a Saturday Morning block of cartoons now. It's hard to believe kids are growing up unaware of these. It's ... un-American! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I think they do show butchered versions of some of them, but they are more or less comic asides between other programming. There's also a looney tunes show which is some kind of situational comedy with bugs & daffy living in suburbia. Bland & cutesy. My nephews watch some pretty terrible stuff on Netflix, but they are too young and unsophisticated to know there's a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted May 22, 2013 This is an interesting technique. The camera is "following" Daffy as he runs to the left but the background isn't just moved to the right, it's slanted to the right also.

*A:M User* Roger Posted May 25, 2013 *A:M User* Share Posted May 25, 2013 Probably should have bought these when I had the chance. As far as Saturday morning cartoons go, I don't think those have been on for a while. At least, I can't remember the last time I went looking for them that they were on. Late '90s maybe? I think most stuff is just on Cartoon Network these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Rodney Posted August 17, 2013 Admin Share Posted August 17, 2013 Is "Sahara Hare" in this collection? (I assume it is) I see that a nice breakdown of the storyboards has been posted over at "What about Thad" blog: http://www.whataboutthad.com/2013/06/04/an...of-sahara-hare/ It's the one where Bugs goes head to head with Sam firing cannons back and forth. We were always entertained when this one showed. The storyboards (and deleted scene) are most definitely worth reviewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted April 25, 2015 This reminds me of the old "Mission:Impossible" series where they'd show you all the gadgets they were going to use at the start but you didn't know how they all fit into the plan until the end. So basically, "Mission:Impossible" was 15 seconds of a Road Runner Cartoon stretched out over an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
