For years, animation buffs have waited impatiently for the Warner Bros. cartoons to appear on DVD. The Warner shorts never commanded the budgets and prestige of the Disney and MGM films, and won fewer Oscars than they deserved. But decades after the best ones were created, they remain the quintessential Hollywood cartoons: brash, fast-paced, aggressively funny and uniquely American. Virtually everyone in the U.S. under the age of 60 grew up on these films. The films are all uncut, in defiance of the killjoys who have insisted on censoring “violence” Nearly half the films were directed by Chuck Jones; only three are by Bob Clampett, and there’s nothing by Tex Avery or Frank Tashlin.

56 of the very best animated shorts starring the very wackiest Warner Bros. cartoon characters have been rounded up on DVD for the first time ever in The Looney Tunes Golden Collection! Contained in four discs, each specially selected short has been brilliantly restored and remastered to its original, uncut, anvil-dropping, joke filled format! Featuring some of the very earliest, ground-breaking on-screen appearances of many all-time Looney Tunes favorites, it’s an unprecedented celebration for cartoon-lovers eager to relive the heady, hilarious, golden age of Warner Bros. animation! Including an array of exclusive bonus features from expert commentaries to insights into the evolution of these classic characters.
