Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol 5

4 Disc's









Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies continues Warner Bros.'

scattershot approach, mixing classics and obscurities.

Among the best-known and funniest cartoons are "Ali Baba Bunny"

(Daffy yelling, "I'm rich! I'm socially secure!"), "Bewitched Bunny"

(Witch Hazel galloping off in a cloud of hair pins), and "Buccaneer Bunny"

(a sterling example of one of director Friz Freleng's favorite gags:

having the characters run up and down stairs and in and out of various doors).

"Gold Diggers of '49" and "Little Red Walking Hood" show Tex Avery beginning

to explore the self-reflexive gags that would be become one of the hallmarks

of his mature style. In "Walking Hood," Grandma stops the action to answer

the phone and place her order with the grocer--including a case of gin. "The Daffy Doc"

is Bob Clampett at his most surreal, with Daffy and Porky getting sucked into

an iron lung, bulging and shrinking like balloon animals. Some of the earliest

cartoons predate the adoption of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" as the theme

song for the Warner Bros. cartoons. Many shorts from the early '30s were built

around songs from Warner's musicals: "I've Got to Sing a Torch Song"

(written for Gold Diggers of 1933) features caricatures of Mae West,

George Bernard Shaw, Benito Mussolini, and Bing Crosby frolicking to the

title tune. Greta Garbo delivers the closing, "That's All, Folks!" Like

the previous four sets, Golden Collection Volume 5 comes loaded with extras

that range from three WWII films in which Mr. Hook urges sailors to buy war

bonds to "Extremes and In-Betweens: A Life in Animation" (2000), a documentary

about Oscar-winning director Chuck Jones. Many of these cartoons will have

viewers of all ages in stitches. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon

violence, ethnic stereotypes, mild risquÚ humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
