 I've finished watching the first of many great DVD sets I got for Christmas, and this new Looney Tunes set is really fantastic! There's no need to go on about how great the cartoons look, since I've mentioned the beautiful restoration in the past (and finally they've included a little documentary about the process). The DVDs in this set include one for Bugs Bunny, one for Porky Pig, one full of Hollywood references, and one miscellaneous disc. As usual, the audio commentaries are terrific - I love all of the different styles, from Jerry Beck getting old-timers' perspectives on a cartoon, to John Kricfalusi bad-mouthing every director on the planet except his hero, Bob Clampett! There are some classics included that have always been my favorites, such as Robin Hood Daffy, The House That Jack Built (for some reason I always thought "celebrity mice" are hilarious), and all those great "things that come to life" shorts (where characters on books and groceries jump off their labels and sing and dance). I also love to see things like the first appearance of Pepe LePew, an early Foghorn Leghorn that sounds like Yosemite Sam, and really old characters that just didn't make it, like Porky's friend Beans. There are some really good documentaries included covering the big directors, too. Besides an annoying Whoopi Goldberg introduction, these DVDs are pure gold - I guess that's why they call them the Golden Collection!
