Editorial Reviews
Brash, fast-paced, and hysterically funny, the Warner Brothers cartoons rank among the undisputed treasures of American animation and American comedy. This second collection, a follow-up to Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, includes such gems as "Porky in Wackyland," "A Bear for Punishment," "Gee Whiz-z-z," The Great Piggy Bank Robbery," and "I Love to Singa." A short documentary about director Bob Clampett features several cartoon historians, animator Eric Goldberg, Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont, and Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi (enthusiastic but over the top). But Warners continues its scattergun approach to selecting films. There are only eight cartoons by Clampett in the set, plus three by Tex Avery and one by Frank Tashlin. "Rabbit Fire" and "Rabbit Seasoning" appear on the first set, but the third cartoon in Jones's trilogy, "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!" isn't on either. More than two-thirds of the films are by Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones. That's not necessarily a bad thing. "Show Biz Bugs," "Bugs Bunny Rides Again," and the Oscar-winning "Tweety Pie" showcase Freleng's razor-sharp timing. "What's Opera, Doc," "The Dover Boys," and the justly celebrated "One Froggy Evening" rank among Jones's boldest experiments and most brilliant successes. Volume Two includes some genuine rarities, among them, "Sinkin' in the Bathtub" (1930), the first Looney Tune, and the Oscar-winning documentary "So Much for So Little." With 60-plus cartoons, transferred from good prints Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Volume 2 is a collection to treasure. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

If you like Looney Toons, how can you go wrong? (2009-01-07)
Customer Review : 5
What is annoying nowadays is that all the Looney Toons are edited beyond belief. When I was younger watching on Saturday morning, I would see Bugs run off the cliff and turn into a literal Jack@$$ or see the characters shoot themselves with guns. Now they edit all this stuff out, which was an essential part of the Looney Toons humor and draw in my opinion.
These Golden sets fix all that because they are unedited, which rocks. It's so great to see them in their original and untarnished form. You can't see these full versions on Saturday morning anymore and that's just sad.
Great DVD set! (2008-12-20)

Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Two (2008-06-15)
Customer Review : 5
Volume Two is actually a better collection than Volume One. This collection contains 60 cartoons, 15 per disc. Disc One is titled Bugs Bunny Masterpieces, many are Bugs Bunny classics. Disc Two is titled Road Runner & Friends. Not all feature the Road Runner, the last few are one-hit wonders, such as "The Dover Boys". Disc Three is titled Tweety & Sylvester & Friends. Once again, some are without the title characters. Disc Four is titled Looney Tunes All Stars: On Stage & Screen. This disc does contain "One Froggy Evening" which won an Academy Award. There are some Bugs Bunny cartoons on this disc, it also contains some one shots, such as "I Love to Singa", a takeoff on the Jazz Singer. Like Volume One's disc four, Volume Two's disc four is the least enjoyable.
Warner Bros. is charging an exorbitant price for these collections, if you don't catch them on sale, you're probably overpaying. In general, disc four has the cartoons we're least interested in, it's the padding of the set, it's only reason for being there is so Warner Bros. can make even more money by increasing the number of volumes being released. This is still a classic collection of Warner Bros. cartoons. One of the best things about the collection is that all the cartoons are complete & uncut.
