Looney Tunes: Platinum Collection, Vol. 1

If Volume One's 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer is criticized, it will be for the nicks, scratches, scuffs, dirt, dust and marks that occasionally appear. However, each imperfection is inherent to the original source and animation cels, and has little or nothing to do with the tender, loving, restorative care Warner has afforded the various shorts. The Looney Tunes palette is alive and kicking, with bright colors, vivid primaries and inky blacks drizzled from the animators' pens. Every last detail and flick of the wrist is present and accounted for as well, and it holds up well under high definition scrutiny. (So long as your expectations are informed and reasonable.) Grain varies from short to short, sure. But such is the nature of the faithful-remastering game. Softness sometimes intrude but, once again, concerned parties should submit their complaints to the fifty to seventy-year-old source materials, not the encode itself, the remastering methodology or the studio's commitment to the project. Macroblocking, banding, aliasing, ringing and other eye-gougers are nowhere to be seen, and compression anomalies and other digital oddities simply aren't a factor. A select few shorts even come close to looking as if they were animated yesterday; no small feat considering that couldn't be farther from the truth. There is, of course, a filmic unevenness to the presentation that's especially noticeable when plowing from short to short in one sitting. That hardly qualifies as an issue, though, and doesn't detract from the otherwise meticulous remaster and impressive technical transfer. It doesn't get much better than this, Looney Tuners. Enjoy.

And now, 56 of the very best animated shorts starring the very wackiest Warner Bros. cartoon characters have been rounded up on DVD for the first time ever in The Looney Tunes Golden Collection!

Sparkling with one unforgettable, landmark animated marvel after another, there's that icon of carrot-crunching aplomb, Bugs Bunny, in a dazzling assortment of his very best classic shorts. Also highlighted in their own delightfully zany series of cartoon gems: the ever-flustered Daffy Duck and eternal straight-man Porky Pig.

Including an array of exclusive bonus DVD features from expert commentaries to insights into the evolution of these classic characters, this is the ultimate animated experience for anyonewho's ever thrilled to the timeless query: "Ehhh? what's up, Doc?"

For years, animation buffs have waited impatiently for the Warner Bros. cartoons to appear on DVD. The Warner shorts never commanded the budgets and prestige of the Disney and MGM films, and won fewer Oscars than they deserved. But decades after the best ones were created, they remain the quintessential Hollywood cartoons: brash, fast-paced, aggressively funny and uniquely American. Virtually everyone in the U.S. under the age of 60 grew up on these films, in theaters and on TV. The 56 cartoons in the set (out of a studio output of over 1,000) were transferred from good prints--which means the viewer can see dust, scratches, and occasional mistakes by the cel painters. The films are all presented uncut, in defiance of the killjoys who have insisted on censoring alleged "violence" in the versions shown on television. Warner Bros. is obviously testing consumer response with this set. Although the erratic selection includes many classics, purists will argue (correctly) that it offers neither a fair representation of the directors' oeuvres, nor anything approaching a coherent history of the characters or studio style. (Nearly half the films were directed by Chuck Jones; only three are by Bob Clampett, and there's nothing by Tex Avery or Frank Tashlin.) But it seems petty to carp about omissions and biases when the discs offer excellent, uncensored prints of some of the funniest films ever made in the U.S.--or anywhere else.

Looney Tunes Super Stars Bugs Bunny Hare Extraordinaire

EARS TO YOU, BUGS! 15 Never-Before-On-DVD Vault Classics! Hare they are – the smart aleck rabbit’s cartons you’ve probably never seen, because they’ve never ever been on DVD. Nothing but the 24-carrot good stuff, too: 15 shorts from the era when hunkered-down animation geniuses at good ol’ Termite Terrace scribbled and drew with unabated Looneytic glee. Join the fun as the rascally one’s pursuit of carrots and laughs puts him on the menu (Bedevilled Rabbit), on the make (Hare Trimmed), on deck (Mutiny on the Bunny), on the lam (Foxy by Proxy) and on 11 more hare-brained adventures. There are no odds or oddballs this funny bunny can’t overcome. Exactly what you’d expect from a super star.

None of the 15 cartoons in Hare Extraordinaire have been released on DVD before. The best film in the collection is Friz Freleng's "Hare Trimmed" (1953), with its brilliant animation of Bugs disguised as Granny, daintily lifting his skirts as he prances about on his outsize rabbit feet. "Mutiny on the Bunny" (1950), one of several shorts Freleng made with Yosemite Sam as a pirate, offers plenty of laughs, as do "Napoleon Bunny-Part" (1956) and "Bedeviled Rabbit" (1957). "Lumber Jack-Rabbit" (1955) was the only Warner cartoon made in 3-D as part of the mid-50's craze, but it's not a distinguished film. Many of these cartoons rank as B- and C-level entries in the Warner Bros. canon. Robert McKimson's "Bushy Hair" (1950) is essentially a remake of his "Gorilla My Dreams" (1948)--as is Freleng's "Apes of Wrath" (1959). In the very late McKimson cartoons "The Million Hare" (1963) and "False Hare" (1964, the last theatrical Bugs short), the energy has gone out of the animation, the direction, and even Mel Blanc's vocal performances. In contrast to the six Looney Tunes Golden Collections, Hare Extraordinaire feels sloppily produced. Several of the films have been ineptly cropped to give the impression they were made for a widescreen format: when Bugs dresses up as Josephine in "Napoleon Bunny-Part," most of his bonnet is cut off. Areas of color shimmer and boil in "Lumber Jack-Rabbit." Warner cartoon fans will want Hare Extraordinaire to complete their collections, but it's a disappointing follow-up to the exemplary Golden sets. (Unrated, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Looney Tunes Movie Collection Vol. 3 (DVD)

Lights, camera, Looney-ness! The Spotlight is on 2 Looney Tunes movies - now remastered so that every image shines and every fine Acme product goes swoosh like new. The chase is on in Disc 1's The Bugs Bunny/Road-Runner Movie as Elmer pursues the pesky wabbit, Daffy Duck tries to elude the animator's eraser and Wile E. Coyote tears after Road Runner and Bugs. By the way, how do you catch a Road Runner? You don't! Beep-Beep! More cartoon harelarity is what's up, doc, in Disc 2's Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales. Our long-eared hero becomes a spinner of fantastical stories while held captive in a desert sultan's palace. Yosemite Sam is the sawed-off sidewinder wielding the sultan's sword. Mad mallard Daffy joins the fun, coping (or not) with a meanie-genie. The rest, as they say, is...hysterical!

The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie

Chuck Jones directed some of the funniest shorts in the history of filmmaking, and this 1979 feature-length compilation includes several of his best cartoons. Among the 11 shorts shown in their entirety are the classics "Robin Hood Daffy," "What's Opera, Doc?," "Bully for Bugs," and "Duck Amuck," which remain as hilarious as they were when first released 50 years ago. As with any collection, the viewer wonders why some films were omitted or cut ("Long Haired Hare" combs footage from several Road Runner shorts into a 20-minute montage weakening the pacing). These caveats aside, The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie provides a showcase not only for Jones's razor-sharp timing, but for the work of his exceptional crew, which included designer Maurice Noble, writer Mike Maltese, composers Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn, and voice actor Mel Blanc. --Charles Solomon

1001 Rabbit Tales

If Bugs Bunny were to direct his signature inquiry--"What's up, doc?"--toward the modern-day Warner Bros. creative team, he wouldn't be far off. For 1001 Rabbit Tales, they've doctored up a batch of classic cartoons featuring the carrot muncher and his bumbling comrades and bundled them, near seamlessly, into a feature-length film. Here's the premise: Bugs and Daffy, both book salesmen, are competing to sell the most copies of a kids' book. Instead of burrowing a beeline to his sales territory (he should have made a left at Albuquerque), Bugs ends up in the castle of Yosemite Sam, here a harem-leading honcho. Sam's pain-in-the-spurs son, Prince Abalaba, needs somebody to read him stories; Bugs, who'd sooner take the job than suffer the alternative, that involving being boiled in oil, signs on. Each rabbit-read narrative replaces a sedate story with a Loony Tunes favorite: In "Jack and the Beanstalk," a canary-keeping giant bellows "Fee, fi, fo, fat, I tawt I taw a puddy tat"; the witch in "Hansel and Gretel" develops a hankering for rabbit stew; "Goldilocks" goes feline as Sylvester swaps his porridge for suffering succotash on behalf of his bratty son. In the end, the varmint finds a way to vamoose, but, being a generous sort of bunny, he doesn't keep the address from his commission-hungry coworker. From there, the feathers fly, as does the rest of this feature, which is undiluted fun for fans of these cartoons from way back as well as those just getting to know the loopy Looney Tunes gang.
