Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Vol. 6

I hope this won't be the last. The other reviews state there'll be more but not as big disc sets because of cost. Well, whatever. Two wonderful classics, "Rackateer Rabbit" ("and me, boss?...and me, boss?...and me, boss?") and "What's Cookin', Doc?" ("OK Smokey...Roll 'em"!) still haven't been released yet. And I'm sure there are many others which I can't think of.

I can't believe another reviewer blasted this set for including a disc of the WWII cartoons. These are classic pieces of American and film history.

Finally, all the cartoons from the fabulous Bugs & Daffy: Wartime Cartoons VHS are now on DVD. Of course, I may still keep that VHS for Leonard Maltin's narration, but here's the breakdown of that tape vs. the Golden Collection discs.

Herr Meets Hare: GC #6
Super Rabbit: GC #3
Draftee Daffy: GC #3
Plane Daffy: GC #4
Daffy the Commando: GC #6
Falling Hare: GC #3
Russian Rhapsody: GC #6
Swooner Crooner: GC#4
Little Red Riding Rabbit: GC #2
The Weakly Reporter: GC #6
5th Column Mouse: GC #6

With the The Complete Uncensored Private Snafu cartoons also on DVD, it's good to know these pieces of history have been preserved.

I've purchased all the Golden collections thus far and when I saw that "Speedy" had a disk all to himself I was sure it wouldn't be long till "Pepe" and "Foghorn" had the same. Who picks these? Bosko? I don't think anyone's left alive that remembers him. I know everyone has there own favorites, but come on! When they played "Overture, dim the lights" and they all marched out I didn't see Bosko in the line.

I am so happy that Chow Hound is included, along with Charley Dog shorts. I would like to see more Foghorn Leghorne, criminally omitted from these sets, and the Porky Daffy classic, my favorite with them, Tic Tock Tuckered.

I hope WB continues releasing all 1000+ Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies shorts.

All the best.
