Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The marketing rep said last year defending the omission of "What's Opera Doc?" and "One Froggy Evening" from the first volume is that if they had all the best cartoons on the first set what will they do for an encore? Well, even without these two classics this set would still stand up as a great sequel to the first volume (Which was just as good despite the pedantic naysayers.) Here some of the reasons why this set is worth your money; First off the restoration job is just like the first set and it is all uncut, so the addition of all the material which Cartoon Network might deem improper for your child is included, but let's look at some of the best toons... Porky in Wackyland Great to see that they aren't afraid to stick a black and white cartoon in there especially this great surreal classic which introduced the Dodo bird. The Dover Boys The cartoon that introduced smear animation that was despised by the studio producers but is now used in practically all television animation. Especially Cartoon Network. You Ought to Be in Pictures Great one that has Daffy and Porky interacting with real people. The funny thing is the real people aren't actors. They were all workers at Termite Terrace. Three Little Bops Friz Freleng finally let loose a little with this highly creative swinging take of the three little pigs. I haven't seen this one in ages, it's practically Freleng's best work. A Corny Concerto Great parody on Disney's Fantasia by Bob Clampett. This set really pays tribute to him. Of course that's barely even the tip of the iceberg of the quality of this set. All those Road Runner and Sylvester and Tweety cartoons might put some people off but I can't see why you shouldn't get this set if you aren't a fan... Unless you're broke I guess... POST-THOUGHTS; After seen the set I can say that Warner Bros. is very brave for including shorts like Have You Got Any Castles uncut. I thank them for that and I'd like to add that disc 4 is the best disc on the set with disc 1 in second place. Other highlights include; Ren And Stimpy creator, John K's commentary on The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, a dead-serious patriotic short by Chuck Jones called Old Glory and the cartoon that got Tex Avery fired; Heckling Hare. I'd also like to reiterate, these shorts are uncut and exactly how they were when they were released with the exception of the blue ribbon title cards. The abrupt ending to Heckling Hare was how that short was originally released and the footage that was meant to be there was gone because the studios didn't like it and this of course angered Tex Avery. So in case anyone was suspicious about that there's the explanation, so they are uncut from their original release date.
