Keep your eye open for deals.Amazon is offering all six "Golden" collections for $65 $48.49 24 DVDsUntil midnight tonight only. For how long I don't know.Looney Tunes Golden Collections Quote
Darkwing Posted April 10, 2013 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
largento Posted April 10, 2013 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
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Posted May 6, 2013 I've been enjoying these even though I've seen them all before. I watch one a day Quote
Darkwing Posted May 6, 2013 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
largento Posted May 6, 2013 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 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
largento Posted May 6, 2013 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
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Posted May 6, 2013 Maybe I haven't seen them all. I have no recollection of "Pete Puma" in "Rabbit's Kin" (1951) Quote
Dpendleton77 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Maybe I haven't seen them all. I have no recollection of "Pete Puma" in "Rabbit's Kin" (1951) Bugs wore Pete the Puma out lmao. How many lumps do you want? Quote
itsjustme Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Maybe I haven't seen them all. I have no recollection of "Pete Puma" in "Rabbit's Kin" (1951) That's one of my favorites...I think it's also the only appearance of Pete Puma, unfortunately. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Posted May 7, 2013 Stan Freburg's commentary track where he just repeats the lines his character said is almost as informative as Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Hey I remember doing this scene" commentaries. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Posted May 13, 2013 It is very jarring to see the early, fat version of Elmer Fudd... Quote
largento Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 He does look more like Arthur Q. Bryan, though. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Hash Fellow 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. (from "Drip-Along Daffy") Quote
thejobe Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 you can watch it here on youtube. its a good one. FhS-n9qpWRI Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 25, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Posted May 25, 2013 I've never seen "The Ducksters" before. One of the lesser entries, I must say. Quote
*A:M User* Roger Posted May 25, 2013 *A:M User* 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

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Posted May 26, 2013 the overhead luggage compartment on this old plane looks unsafe to me. I wonder if there was really a plane like this or if the artists just figured it must be like on a train. ("Yankee Doodle Daffy" 1943) Quote
markw Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 No they really were like that, more or less! This photos from British Airways.com, circa 1940's; Quote

thejobe Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 that is the squirrel they reference to in the show Animaniacs. they changed the name and made it an old woman squirrel who thinks back in her glory days and is very slapstick oriented. Quote

Admin Rodney Posted August 17, 2013 Admin 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

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Hash Fellow 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
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Hash Fellow Posted April 26, 2015 another big smear... Quote
mulls Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Lucked out got the set on E Bay for $50.00. Still completely blown away by the sophistication of this stuff both the animation and the story lines talk about super talent and hard work. Amazing !!! 1 Quote
