Movie Reviews of Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Four

Movie Review: Much funnier than any thing more contemporary
Summary: 5 Stars

The old cartoons were written with real humor in mind. The stuff out today is mostly junk. Humor is humor. Just because something about me or someone else is the brunt of the humor makes it no less funny. If we can not laugh at ourselves than why should we be able to laugh at anything? The raters use to say that Bugs, Daffy, Foghorn, Speedy, Sylvester, Porky and the rest of the bunch were offensive minorities and dangerous to children. What a lie. The political climate today is fueled by manipulative pacification and ridiculous accusations. These are just cartoons and some may think that this is not the place to express such concerns, but the censorship that has occurred in the last 20 or so years makes this the place to say the truth about how the political left is ruining American society.

Summary of Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Four

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 rabbits, pigs, mice or cats. Indeed, some have never before been on home video! Disc 1 features the tall, gray and haresome one. Disc 2 is all pig. Disc 3 is all about Speedy. And Disc 4 is the cats meow. 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
Like previous installments, the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 mixes favorites from the Warner Bros. archives with relatively obscure older works. Chuck Jones' "Mississippi Hare" and Friz Freleng's "Sahara Hare" and "Knighty-Knight Bugs" (which won an Oscar) offer hilarious performances by Bugs. Two of Jones' earliest films, "The Night Watchman" and "Conrad the Sailor" prefigure his use of subtle expressions in his later cartoons. The disc of shorts by Frank Tashlin includes "Plane Daffy": pigeon see-duck-tress Hatta Mari anticipates Jayne Mansfield in such later Tashlin live-action comedies as Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?

Not all of these films have aged as gracefully. Younger viewers will probably not catch the references to Charlie McCarthy, Bill Robinson, and other old film and radio stars. The Speedy Gonzalez cartoons feature ethnic humor that seems embarrassing today; it's also crashingly unfunny. Each disc offers a disclaimer about stereotypes, noting, "they were wrong then and are wrong today."

The discs are loaded with extras that range from a partial set of storyboards for "Sahara Hare" to three of the "Private Snafu" shorts, which were made for the "Army-Navy Screen Magazine" during WW II. The oddest extra is the documentary Bugs Bunny Superstar, which infuriated many of the Warner Bros. artists when it was released in 1977. Much of its information should be taken with a grain of salt. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, some ethnic stereotypes, mild risqu? humor, alcohol & tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
