This review is from: Golden Age of Looney Tunes, Vol. 8: 1940s Zanies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

MGM's GOLDEN AGE OF LOONEY TUNES series are all high quality SP mode transfers of nicely preserved vintage cartoons. Audio track is HiFi.

Volume 8 ("1940s Zanies") features these shorts:

(7.2) NASTY QUACKS (1945) dir: Frank Tashlin (uncredited)
(8.2) HAIR-RAISING HARE (1946) dir: Chuck Jones
(7.1) THE BASHFUL BUZZARD (1945) dir: Bob Clampett
(7.7) DAFFY DOODLES (1946) dir: Robert McKimson
(6.7) LITTLE ORPHAN AIREDALE (1947) Chuck Jones
(7.2) BABY BOTTLENECK (1946) dir: Bob Clampett
(8.0) BOOK REVUE (1946) dir: Bob Clampett


"Nasty Quacks" - The adorable pet duckling of little Agnes grows up to become Daffy. His obnoxious behavior gets on Agnes's father's last nerve.

"Hair-Raising Hare" - Stars Bugs Bunny, castle-owner Peter Lorre and a sneaker wearing monster. A total delight!

"The Bashful Buzzard" - The Buzzard sons catch some food for mama. One has a milk cow and farmer, the second a string of elephants and Beaky brings home a baby bumblebee.

"Daffy Doodles" - Daffy the graffiti artist paints mustaches on everything and everyone, including Officer Porky.

"Little Orphan Airedale" - Charley Dog tries everything he can to convince Porky to adopt him.

"Baby Bottleneck" - Newborns are being delivered to the wrong parents until Porky and Daffy take over at the Baby Factory.

"Book Revue" - Superb short features caricatures of Big Band leaders and singers, plus Danny Kaye who scats his way through "Carolina in the Morning."


THE GOLDEN AGE OF LOONEY TUNES VOL. 1 has fourteen shorts including "I Love To Sing" and "I Haven't Got a Hat."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Golden Age of Looney Tunes: 1940s Zanies, March 20, 2000

This video really does contain some zany cartoons from the 1940s. Many of the cartoons are directed by Bob Clampett.
