Movie Reviews of Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Five
Movie Review: Give us more of the 30's and 40's!
Summary: 5 Stars
In contrast with some of the other reviewers for this set I LOVE the older cartoons! "A Tale of Two Kitties" is one of my favorites and one that I had been waiting for. Tweety's original appearance and his somewhat sadistic personality are absolutely terrific. "Whadya know. I wan out of piddies." A great parody of Abbott and Costello! The Private Snafu and Mr. Hook shorts! The documentary on Chuck Jones. Beautiful living black and white shorts! Yay! "Eatin' on the Cuff." What a terrific little short! That Veronica Lake spider is not exactly politically correct but funny?! I really enjoyed "I've got to sing a Torch Song." Greta Garbo, Zazu Pitts, Mae West. It makes me want to see their movies. Next time more of the black and white Porkys! Buy one of these for yourself and one for your Dad and Mom too!(Maybe one for your grandparents as well!)

Rating: NR

Media Type: DVD
The fifth collection of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies continues Warner Bros.' scattershot approach, mixing classics and obscurities. Among the best-known and funniest cartoons are "Ali Baba Bunny" (Daffy yelling, "I'm rich! I'm socially secure!"), "Bewitched Bunny" (Witch Hazel galloping off in a cloud of hair pins), and "Buccaneer Bunny" (a sterling example of one of director Friz Freleng's favorite gags: having the characters run up and down stairs and in and out of various doors). "Gold Diggers of '49" and "Little Red Walking Hood" show Tex Avery beginning to explore the self-reflexive gags that would be become one of the hallmarks of his mature style. In "Walking Hood," Grandma stops the action to answer the phone and place her order with the grocer--including a case of gin. "The Daffy Doc" is Bob Clampett at his most surreal, with Daffy and Porky getting sucked into an iron lung, bulging and shrinking like balloon animals. Some of the earliest cartoons predate the adoption of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" as the theme song for the Warner Bros. cartoons. Many shorts from the early '30s were built around songs from Warner's musicals: "I've Got to Sing a Torch Song" (written for Gold Diggers of 1933) features caricatures of Mae West, George Bernard Shaw, Benito Mussolini, and Bing Crosby frolicking to the title tune. Greta Garbo delivers the closing, "That's All, Folks!" Like the previous four sets, Golden Collection Volume 5 comes loaded with extras that range from three WWII films in which Mr. Hook urges sailors to buy war bonds to "Extremes and In-Betweens: A Life in Animation" (2000), a documentary about Oscar-winning director Chuck Jones. Many of these cartoons will have viewers of all ages in stitches. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, ethnic stereotypes, mild risqu? humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
