This review is from: Golden Age of Looney Tunes, Vol. 9: Hooray for Hollywood [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.
In Volume 9 ("HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD"), we see caricatures of many celebrities. Tape features these shorts:
(6.2) THE COOCOO NUT GROVE (1936) dir: Friz Freleng
(7.3) DAFFY DUCK IN HOLLYWOOD (1938) dir: Tex Avery
(6.8) HOLLYWOOD STEPS OUT (1941) dir: Tex Avery
(7.1) WHAT'S COOKIN' DOC? (1941) dir: Bob Clampett
(7.4) HOLLYWOOD DAFFY (1946) dir: Friz Freleng (uncredited)
(7.7) SWOONER CROONER (1944) dir: Frank Tashlin
(7.7) SLICK HARE (1947) dir: Friz Freleng
"The CooCoo Nut Grove" - At the nightclub: Walter Winchell, W.C. Fields, Kate Hepburn, the Marx Bros., Mae West, Stan & Ollie, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Eddie Robinson and more!
"Daffy Duck in Hollywood" - The duck makes good at Wonder Studios when he impresses producer I.M. Stupendous with his editing abilities.
"Hollywood Steps Out" - Guests at Ciro's include Cary Grant, Cagney, Bogart & Raft, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Stewart, Mickey & Judy, the 3 Stooges, Peter Lorre and dozens more.
"What's Cookin', Doc?" - Bugs loses the Best Actor Oscar to Jimmy Cagney, so he tries to convince the audience to reconsider by showing a clip from one of his shorts.
"Hollywood Daffy" - After sneaking onto the Warner's lot, that zany duck disguises himself as a tour guide, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Durante, Charlie Chaplin and "Oscar" himself!
"Swooner Crooner" - Porky gets a Crosby and Sinatra rooster to charm his hens into laying.
"Slick Hare" - At the Mocrumbo Restaurant, Elmer is given only 20 minutes by tough guy Bogie to serve "Baby" some fried rabbit.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF LOONEY TUNES VOL. 3 contains fourteen animations, including "The Dover Boys," "Inki at the Circus" and "Hare Trigger."

Golden Age of Looney Tunes Vol. 9: Hooray for Hollywood, April 9, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Golden Age of Looney Tunes, Vol. 9: Hooray for Hollywood [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I watched "Daffy Duck in Hollywood", "Hollywood Steps Out", "Hollywood Daffy", "What's Cookin', Doc?" and "Slick Hare". Those cartoons, few of them on Looney Tunes Vol. 2 DVD, are on this video.
