DVD Looney Tunes - Movie Collection (Bugs Bunny/Road-Runner Movie/1001 Rabbit Tales)
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.

The Chases Are On
It always amazes me with the status of cartoons today. Yet with all the hype, there just is a whole generatiion that not only doesn't appreciate the classics like Disney or MGM with Tom & Jerry, they just ignore it. Yet for this generation, the one biggest cartoon franchise is the looney tunes. Warner Brothers has done a fantastic job the past few years re-releasing cartoons for the highly acclaimed golden collections. Although that has been great, they also have released smaller and more petite editions like the lackluster premire collection and spotlight collection, for people who want the zanyness of Bugs, without all the hassle in price. While that has been unfortunate, a change had to be made.
The Looney Tunes Movie Collection, is a 2 Disc DVD collection, that contains 2 Warner Brothers cartoon movies from the past, that have been placed on DVD for the very first time. The collection is considered as a smarter motion to display and a great ordeal of improvement, especially with the lackluster Premire and Spotlight Collections. The first disc showcases the Bugs Bunny & Road Runner movie by the late legendary Chuck Jones, which includes so many snippet of some of his most dynamic cartoons from the legendary What's Opera Doc, Duck Amuck, the Oscar-winning Pepe Le Pew toon For Scent-imental Reasons, and a unique compilation of some of the greatest chases from Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. The movie was incredibly funny, and has been remastered beautifully in a quaint display.
The second movie in this bunch is Bugs Bunny's 2rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales, a story that Friz Freleng compiled. This is about Bugs & Daffy as book salesman, going head-to-head for the chance as a pro, where both of their jobs land them in hot water. Bugs takes a awkward turn in the hot desert, where he happens to be pushed by an arab Yosemite Sam to read stories to his bratty and ego-minded son. This movie showcases some hilarious toons like Goldimouse & The Three Cats, the Chuck Jones classic One Froggy Evening, the enjoyable Ali Baba Bunny, and Bewitched Bunny which was Bugs Bunny's first encounter with Witch Hazel. Like the other DVD in this collection, the movie has been restored very well, and doesn't miss a single beat in humor.
Nevertheless, I honestly doubt that many people might consider this collection with Warner Brothers recent release of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection volume 3 coming out, but this is much better than the two previous vinette compilations from before. The Looney Tunes Movie Collection is a much needed improvement, and is a great buy for the die hard looney tunes fanatic, or anybody who hasn't seen the zanyness yet.

Like the previous entries in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, volume 3 confirms how brilliant the Warner Bros. artists were and how durable their creations have proven. The set includes classics that every cartoon buff will recognize: "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!," "Robin Hood Daffy," "Birds Anonymous." Other selections are less familiar but significant in the development of the studio: "Sinkin' in the Bathtub," the first Looney Tune; "I Haven't Got a Hat," the earliest Warners cartoon viewers can watch for fun, rather than as an historic curiosity; "Porky's Romance," in which director Frank Tashlin introduced rapid cutting to cartoons. Some of the caricature films have aged less gracefully. Younger audiences will recognize the drawn versions of W.C. Fields, the Marx Brothers,...

The Disney treasures collection is the best and cheapest way of getting the entire series to their golden age shorts.
I must warn you not to buy any of these mini DVDS if you are someone who would love the full collection being the mini DVDS are just repeats or shorts due on future disney treasures.
Donald Duck has Stared in 165 shorts in total from 1934-1967

How did they do it? How did Jay Ward and his crew create the perfect combination of self-conscious silliness, Cold War parody, bad puns, and iconic artwork?
And why has no one since been able to rise to that level of literate goofiness?
Bullwinkle's corner, Aesop and son, the fractured fairy tales, and Mr. Peabody's insane rewriting of history are still huge fun. Half the fun, though, is in knowing the original stories and seeing how they got twisted into these bits of amusement. Yes, I admit to nostaligic favoritism towards these relics of my childhood. Despite that, there really is a lot here for an adult willing to be amused.
Go ahead - be amused!
