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

 Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Two June 15, 2008

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.

A fun collection. The grandkids love these and they are used before the feature movie in our prison ministry. The guys love it. Just like the movies or Saturday morning...
 Another great Looney Tunes DVD set April 28, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this set after running through volume 1 enough with my daughter that we were ready for some new episodes. This is another great set, with some classic episodes that were left off of volume 1 and some generally zany and surrealistic ones, many of which I have never seen before. I didn't like this one as well as volume 1 for a couple of reasons: 1) too many cartoons with the same characters on each DVD. I prefer when they get mixed up, rather than sitting through a bunch of Tweety and Sylvesters all in a row. And 2) too many cartoons that have obscure references (such as old Hollywood stars and popular literature from the early 20th century) that kids just won't get -- and you probably won't either. If you don't have volume 1, get that one. If you do, then go ahead and get this one. It is a worthy addition to your cartoon library!
Looney Tunes, Golden collection volume ll April 23, 2008

This brings me back to a time when cartoones were a Saturday morning tradition. A time when parents got up and watched cartoons WITH their children, and everyone enjoyed them. Today, cartoons are mostly for adult viewing. They teach kids about fighting and blood spurting from wounds, or that backtalting parents, bad language etc. is acceptable behavior. Granted that there is violence in these cartoons as well, but the caliber is much lower, and not nearly as likely to be imitated by children. It's time to go back to basics....back to Bugs!!!

What a treat to watch your favorite Looney Tunes uncensored! I bought Volumes 1 and 2 for $27 each! Talk about a bargain! And the best part is, whenever you feel like it, you can re-live Saturday morning once again, without the commericals!
