PLUS fifteen other shorts yet to be announced! Although this is the last in the Golden Collection series don't despair; WB has many more on the way under different titles. My personal favorite is Punch Trunk about a miniature elephant that hitchiked in a bunch of bananas and wound up in the city and appeared virtually everywhere and blasted the skies with his tiny elephant noise, incl one man's bird bath!
Martian Through Georgia is fabulous about a lonely Martian who comes to earth searching for companionship and tries desperately to fit in but no matter what he does, people still see him as a monster and tell him to go home! Monster go home! Tearfully he does and finds love on his own planet.
Now Hear This is very surreal and is told with sound and picture a la Gerald Mc Boing Boing, just wonderful to see and hear.
Cannot WAIT until october! I already ordered it! God Bless Chuck Jones!

I can't believe another reviewer blasted this set for including a disc of the WWII cartoons. These are classic pieces of American and film history.

Finally, all the cartoons from the fabulous Bugs & Daffy: Wartime Cartoons VHS are now on DVD. Of course, I may still keep that VHS for Leonard Maltin's narration, but here's the breakdown of that tape vs. the Golden Collection discs.

Herr Meets Hare: GC #6
Super Rabbit: GC #3
Draftee Daffy: GC #3
Plane Daffy: GC #4
Daffy the Commando: GC #6
Falling Hare: GC #3
Russian Rhapsody: GC #6
Swooner Crooner: GC#4
Little Red Riding Rabbit: GC #2
The Weakly Reporter: GC #6
5th Column Mouse: GC #6

With the The Complete Uncensored Private Snafu cartoons also on DVD, it's good to know these pieces of history have been preserved.

If the previously listed cartoons are not enough, there are more in the BONUS section, including some B&W MGM cartoons directed by Friz Freleng!

Let's face it--"Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 6" isn't going to please everyone. If you're looking for an exceptional collection of "classics" that you grew up on watching TV, go for the "Spotlight Collection, Volume 6" as it features the highlights of this set plus two handfuls of rare cartoons that haven't been seen in some time. For many fans, though, this set is just about perfect. It includes rare vintage World War II cartoons that featured Bugs and other Warner staples face-to-face with Hitler and others as well as a great collection of classic cartoons.

Here's a break down and brief synposis of most of the cartoons on each disc:
To Duck...or Not to Duck- A Daffy Duck/Elmer Fudd cartoon by Tedd Pierce and Chuck Jones. Daffy is in his goofy incarnation and the relationship here hints at the one that Jones would develop between Bugs and Elmer later.

Birth of a Notion - One of the rare war time efforts included here from Volume 6--a great one I might add) belongs to the Blue Ribbon group of reissued cartoons which means there are no credits for who wrote and directed it but it clear is a Bob Clampett effort that follows Daffy Duck as he tries to get a home for the winter by "appearing" to save a dog from being poisoned.

My Little Duckaroo (Daffy again)

Crowing Pains -Foghorn Leghorn in his first cartoon

Raw! Raw! Rooster -Another Foghorn cartoon with McKimson at his best. Heaven Scent -Peppy Le Pew one Jones few characters that I never really appreciated.

My Favorite Duck-One of the first pairings of Jones and Maltese also puts together Porky Pig and Daffy Duck as the latter tries to prevent Porky from camping out. Porky wears what looks like a baby nipple on his head. It's a chuckle.

Jumpin' Jupiter -Sylvester and Porky abducted by aliens.

Satan'a Waitin' -A hilarious cartoon where Sylvester's need to get Tweety puts him in...Hell.

Hook, Line and Stinker -A Chuck Jones Roadrunner cartoon...not his best but has its moments

Bear Feat

Dog Gone South-Once again features Charlie the dog that no one wants because he is obnoxious this time matching wits with a southern plantation owner.

A Ham in a Role Those Goofy Gofers show up in another McKimson cartoon.

Often an Orphan Charlie the Dog...you know the annoying one that keeps trying to be adopted by...someone...anyone! A Jones/Maltese production it's clever.

The second disc focuses on the patriotic/World War II cartoons that often were seen only once in theaters unless a revival house showed them or they were shown in a class on animation. These include:

Herr Meets Hare( A funny Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs treats Herman Goring like he's Elmer Fudd and impersonates Hitler and Stalin!) Russian Rhapsody (Originally entitled "Gremlins" by Bob Clampett--another funny one with impeccable draftsmanship by McKimson. Hitler decides to bomb Russia himself but is foiled by Russian Gremlins!

Daffy-The Commando (Self explanatory)

Bosko The Doughboy (A rare World War II short)

Rookie Revue -is another war time short from Freleng giving us an imagery day in the army

The Draft Horse (As Greg Ford points out in his excellent commentary this one was a turning point for Chuck Jones who had primarily been known for his cute Disney character pieces. Chuck stepped into Wackyland here) The Weakly Reporter (" a Jones/Maltese collaboration as with many of these one-off's is related to the World War II. It's a humorous look at how the average person has been affected by the war. It's got a number of clever gags.

Fifth Column Mouse

Meet John Doughboy

Hollywood Canine Canteen

By Word of Mouse Friz Freleng's ode to capitalism with Hans the Mouse. Heir-Conditioned -Bugs again

Yankee Dood T -Features Elmer as King of the Elves who wants the Shoemaker to give all of the Elves up. It's another primer in capitalism. Sylvester also appears and takes great interest in the Elves hoping that through the use of a magic word to turn them all into mice.

Disc Three takes on Bosko (an early Warner character who lost favor by the time that Bugs, Daffy and the other characters were in development) and other early Merrie Melodies stars and this disc includes:

Congo Jazz Smile, Darn Ya, Smile The Booze Hangs High One More Time Bosko's Picture Show You Don't Know What You're Doin'! We're in the Money Ride Him, Bosko Shuffle Off to Buffalo Bosko in Person The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon Buddy's Day Out Buddy's Beer Garden Buddy's Circus A Cartoonist's Nightmare dates from 1935 and is an early black and white Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Jack King

Disc four features a variety of classic cartoons under the "Assorted Nuts" title some of which had characters that only appeared a couple of times and some where they only appeared one time.

Horton Hatches the Egg -A Chuck Jones collaboration with Ted Giesel aka Dr. Seuss

Lights Fantastic -A Broadway musical cartoon focusing on the "life" of signs by Freleng

Fresh Airedale -Again, featuring Charlie the Dog, this is one of the Blue Ribbon cartoons. These reissues often left off the credits as to who created the cartoon. This one looks like one of Art Davis' efforts but without a commentary track and without looking it up I can't say for certain)

Chow Hound

The Oily American

It's Hummer Time is a Warren Foster-Robert McKimson collaboration. McKimson one of the finest draftsmen and animators often was slighted for the cartoons he directed simply because they didn't have the quirky personality of Jones' work or the slapstick insanity of Freleng's. This is a terrific effort from McKimson with wonderfully rich characterizations

Rocket-Bye Baby -Another Michael Maltese-Chuck Jones science fiction classic where babies are delivered to the wrong planet. As with all of the Jones-Maltese collaborations its innovative, funny and shows the unique chemistry of these two who did some of their best work along with designer Maurice Noble

Goo Goo Goliath- A clever cartoon by the perfect team of Warren Foster and Fritz Freleng with expert animation by Art Davis among others that focuses on a drunk stork who delivers the son of the Giant who lives at the top of a bean stock to a normal sized family.

"Wild Wife" is another McKimson/Foster effort from the 50's focusing on a woman's typical day when her husband scoffs at the fact that she doesn't have enough time to do all the chores.

Much Ado About Nutting-This is a Jones-Maltese collaboration. Jones and his animators were always able to elicit laughs out of the slightest movement of a facial muscle and this one is no exception involving a chipmunk who believes he has hit the motherlode when he stumbles on a peanut vendor...

The Hole Idea -A scientist invents portable holes a decade before "Yellow Submarine".

Now Hear This

Martian Through Georgia

Page Miss Glory- is a very early effort with designs that firmly puts it in either the late 30's or early 40's before Warner developed the rambunctious style that would become a hallmark of the studio. ***

Norman Normal- Directed by Alex Lovy, this is a relative rare 60's cartoon. None of the "regular" Warner star characters are involved.

Special features include a documentary on Mel Blanc, audio commentaries by Greg Ford, Mark Kausler and historian Jerry Beck. The commentary on "Fifth Column Mouse" is missing.

We get "Daffy Duck's Easter Special" a cheap prime time special made by DePathie-Freleng the company that Friz founded to do the Pink Panther cartoons. It's co-written by Friz and directed by him. ***

"Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court" is another prime time special this one co-written and directed by Chuck Jones. Aside from Jones' distinctive animation and drawing style, there really isn't much to this tale where Bugs crosses swords with Elmer Fudd who believes he's a dragon and presents him to King Arthur played by the usually clueless Daffy Duck. It's mildly entertaining but the production values are low and the characters just don't gel but it's nice to have them.

We also get a number of extra cartoons including Friz Freleng's "Captain and the Kids" black and white cartoons done for MGM as well as Chuck Jones' counterpart to "Duck Amuck" featuring Bugs Bunny which is often criticized as not being as funny as "Duck Amuck". Perhaps it isn't but seeing Bugs change in a variety of "other" creatures is a chuckle.

There is also a collection of Bosko and Buddy cartoons included as well as Private Snafu and other cartoons that were done in B&W some specifically only for the troops to see.

Overall, this is an outstanding collection that looks quite good. It's marred only by the inclusion of some less than classic cartoons that were included for completists or because they fit with the theme of this set (which probably would have been more appropriate to release around the 4th of July given the cover). Hopefully the next series will focus on the various Warner "persoanlities" and eras as opposed to being an occasional hodge-podge mixture of classic, historically important and rare cartoons.

The sixth Looney Tunes Golden Collection is here! Sound the welcomes and blow the crumpets!

This is a nice addition to the Golden Collection series, yet there are a few aspects that prevent this set from reaching the lofty heights of a few of the previous volumes.

Disc One has a great mix of cartoons, ranging from Yosemite Sam's debut to a couple of Foghorn Leghorn classics. (One frustrating thing about the Golden Collection is how few Foggy cartoons were included - considering that Speedy Gonzales got an entire disc..!)

Disc Two features a lot of rare WW2 cartoons, as well as the three WB cartoons of the 50's that speak of the vitures of capitalism.

Disc Three probably won't appeal to the average fan, but the early B&W cartoons are fun to watch on a rainy afternoon (for me, anyway!).

Disc Four is pure gold! Many rare, one-shot cartoons that fans have wanted to get for years. These one-shot cartoons are films the directors *wanted* to make. They often feature experimental storylines and artwork. They are also often better than the films that featured WB's usual cast of characters.

The bonus features on this collection are quite sparse, yet we *do* get one of the best bonus items in the whole Golden Collection series - the infamous Schlesinger Christmas reels!

The Christmas reels are short comedy programs made by the studio to be shown before the employees all went out to the annual Christmas party. It's a treat to be able to see all of the people who worked at the studio all those years ago.

There is also an optional commentary by Martha Sigall and Jerry Beck. Martha identifies just about everyone in the short films. Her memories offer a wonderful glimpse into life at the studio and finally being able to put faces to the names we've seen all these years is a treat! (After watching the reels, go watch "Russian Rhapsody" and try to see which
gremlin was which Schlesinger employee!)

Sadly, apart from the Christmas reels and the in-depth feature on Mel Blanc, the rest of the bonus features included are lacking.

The "bonus" shorts are unrestored, which is painfully obvious. Warner Brothers has said that future collections won't "double dip", yet I hope this doesn't mean these bonus shorts won't be restored. Including them on this set seems to suggest that they won't be restored in the future. That would be unfortunate.

The number participants for cartoon commentaries also dropped off. Only Jerry Beck, Greg Ford, and Mark Kausler took part. Earlier volumes featured more of a variety of participants, so it seems like this is more bare-bones release than the earlier collections.

The "lower-shelf" feeling is also enhanced by some quality-control issues too... For example, there is a Jerry Beck introduction on disc three for the "Bugs Bunny Bond Rally", yet that film is not on the disc. What's more, the packaging lists a Jerry Beck commentary for "Fifth Column Mouse", yet there is no commentary for that cartoon on the disc...

Volume 6 is a welcome addition to the Golden Collection series, but maybe it is time to move on. The bare-bones "bonus" features and lack of commentary participants makes this release seem to be not as special as earlier volumes. The lack of quality control also makes you wonder if now might be the best time to end this series. (Maybe we'll eventually see collections that feature characters like Foghorn Leghorn and Pepe Le Pew (ala the "Golden Jubilee 24 Karat" VHS collections from the mid-80's.)

But, the (main) episodes look as great as the cartoons do on the earlier sets, which is why we buy these in this first place. For that fact alone this set is highly recommended!

I have read all of the reviews for this product after viewing this collection. I do have all six collections now, and I am forced to agree with many of the reviewers who stated that Warner Brothers have only themselves to blame if these collections are not selling well enough to continue the series. I am obliged to believe that whoever is in charge of designing or arranging these collections either never watched them growing up or really has no idea and cares less about what the majority of fans want to see in these collections. Disc 1 is a catch all of most of the major characters, although again I am forced to agree with many who point out that Foghorn Leghorn and Yosemite Sam have been poorly represented in this series. Disc 2 is a collection of WWII propaganda cartoons that haven't been featured in previous collections, and frankly it is hit amd miss on this disc. Disc 3 is the biggest waste of space I have seen yet in any of these collections - all Bosko, Buddy, or Beans, none of which are Looney Tunes characters in the strict sense, and even the bonus cartoons are a loss. I am hardly a prude in any sense, but I found the World of Leon Schlesinger section (to put it plainly) vulgar in the extreme. Disc 4 is outstanding with many of the most requested miscellaneous shorts featured on this disc. Each disc features either three or four bonus cartoons with those on discs 1 and 4 being the best and some of those on disc 2. I did enjoy the featurette on Mel Blanc on Disc 4. Even allowing for the fact that by this time all the cherries have probably been picked, this collection would have been improved by putting more of what the fans want in it instead of putting out what WB evidently wanted to put out. More people will buy your product if you give them what they want, as opposed to what you want to sell. I think Looney Tunes are part of many people's pasts that they wish to retain and remember, and I think not only WB but all those who release classic TV programs and movies on DVD would do well to remember that. This collection is a good collection for those who want to have some of their favorite cartoons in their library, but it is not the best one by a long shot.

These past years, Warner Brothers have showed their classics from the Looney Tunes vault on DVD. Sadly, there was a huge announcement made, that Warner Brothers decided to stop making the Looney Tunes Golden Collections after this one. Which to me is an absolute dissapointment. After the last one, Golden Collection Volume 5, there were a few shocks from fewer Bugs Bunny Cartoons, to a seperate DVD collection from the Warner Brothers vault releasing a seperate series featuring Oscar-winning and nominated cartoons that showed well, but could've offered a bit more in variety. Now, what becomes of the final Looney Tunes Golden Collection. Just simply put, That's All Folks!

The Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 is the final edition of the long-running series, and brings here a lot less of your favorites from Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig. Instead, the DVD set instead focuses in mainly on the lesser-known shorts, and that shown widely from their Merrie Melodies beginnings from their early 30's days from M.G.M. days. The first disc is widely relevant of the fewer classics from the all-stars, which includes classics like Hare Trigger, which features the debut of Yosemite Sam, to Satan's Waitin', where Sylvester winds up in the Devil's world, where he slowly, loses his 9 lives in a grappling battle to capture Tweety. There are other shorts with lesser-known favorites like A Ham In A Role with The Goofy Gophers, the polite duo named Mac & Tosh which became Warner Brothers answer to Disney's Chip & Dale, and Dog Gone South with with Charlie Dog, who was always seeking a master of his own, and winds up in Southern Country after being kicked off a train.

The second disc is where the collection though gets pretty interesting, as it mainly highlights the classic cartoons from the World War II era. Most of these cartoons have been overlooked and not shown on television in over 20 years. The main highlights include cartoons like Heir Meets Hare, where Bugs Bunny winds up in Germany by mistake, and is wrangling with a German hunter. This cartoon also shows Bugs and the hunter ending up in a dance scene, that is the prelude into what later became the more famous dance scene from the Chuck Jones' classic What's Opera Doc? There are also other classics from Wacky Blackout and Rookie Revue here.

The third disc mainly shows the beginnings from some of the classic greats from Warner's days back in the 1930's, before Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd made their way into the mainstream. Then it was all mainly about charcters like the simple black & white cartoons, or widely known as two-tones like Bosko. While these gems will not appeal to new fans, but it mainly works as a rare delight for the hard core Looney Tunes fans. While the last disc, also shows some recognition to the favorite assorted nuts classics. These include some of the longtime favorites like the favorite Horton Hatches The Egg, which was loosely based on the Dr. Seuss children's book. On this disc, there are also other greats like Rocket-Bye Baby, where two different babies are delivered from two intergalatic worlds, and the Wilbur family has to deal with the misadventures of taking care of the Martian baby from Earth, and The Oily American, where a wealthy Indian owns a mansion and a pool, and goes on a moose hunt, but actually tries to capture a moose who is short in height. There also are a few extras here that are worth buying in the collection, including the very rare documentary about the legendary late Mel Blanc: A Man Of A Thousand Voices, and some of the classic Warner Brothers specials from the 70's and 80's including Bugs Bunny In King Arthur's Court, a spoof on the classic Mark Twain novel, A Conneticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court.

All in all, it is honestly such a sad shame that Warner Brothers still could've had a whole lot more into the long-running Golden Collection cartoon DVD sets. Volume 6 isn't a bad buy for die hard fans, and it is well shown right here. I just wish that there could've been more highlights and cartoons from favorite characters like Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe Le Pew and Ralph Wolf & Sam Sheepdog throughout the series. Nevertheless, Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 ends what made Warner Brothers cartoons so remarkable over the years, and what animation fans have constantly forgotten about the greats for so long. I just hope though that Warner Brothers tries to do something else with these classic gems soon. Well, in the meantime, That's All Folks!, really.

Price: B

Extras: B+

Shorts: C+

Remastering: B+

Overall: B 1/2-

Like the other five volumes hitherto issued in this series, this sixth collection is quite interesting for collectors of classical toons. The selection is quite varied, including both quite early b/w ones as well as quite a few of the rare WWII vintage, very typical in their propaganda style and therefore often excluded from other collections, as they're today hardly to be considered politically correct. Don't let the warning texts on the cover discourage you: These toons are funny for both grown-ups and kids: Actually much funnier than most of the crap issued during this century.

I currently own volumes one through five. Many of the toons featured in this collection are the "ancient" creations and are not of the main Looney characters made famous by Mel Blanc. It's worth owning; but it's not something that I'd view frequently.

(My five stars is for the listed content)

Warner Brothers announced last week that "Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Volume 6" will be the final DVD release of the GC series.

The studio's announcement included this description:
"We've saved the best for last--more of your favorite Looney Tunes--your wish is our command. The concluding release from the Golden Collection Series is a 4-disc set with 60 more of the most looneytic Looney Tunes ever unleashed. Plus, 15 bonus shorts to make this the biggest collection of Looney Tunes ever! Indeed, some have never before been on home video!"

Warner IS going to continue releasing Looney Tunes on DVD, but is not ready to state any details. So, we WILL see more new remasters of these great cartoons on DVD in the future, but not using the label "Golden Collection."

Volume Six has a October 21, 2008 street date. Sporting 75 shorts, with 60 being featured cartoon titles, and another 15 items listed as "bonuses" (and not yet named) this looks to be a fine way to close out the GC releases. Also, WB has not revealed the "extras" that, most surely, will be included.

One of my best-loved "Looney" quotes seems appropriate here...

Porky:
"Oh, son of a bi-bi, son of a bi-bi... son of a gun!
Ha-ha-ha! I bet you thought I was going to say 'sa-sa-sa... son of a bitch', didn't ya?!"

But thankfully (and hopefully)... "That's NOT all, folks!"
