Last year I chose the Spotlight Collection over the Golden Collection to spare my library all the Speedy Gonzales shorts. Frankly, the humor is all the same in that series. It seems to be the same with this years crop as well. Die hards will enjoy the Golden Collection, and I am glad that Warner Bros. offers us the chance to decide for ourselves. Here is a breakdown of what is available on this two-disc set.

Disc 1
1. 14 Carrot Rabbit
2. Ali Baba Bunny
3. Buccaneer Bunny
4. Bugs' Bonnets
5. A Star Is Bored
6. A Pest In The House
7. Transylvania 6-5000
8. Oily Hare
9. Stupor Duck
10. The Stupor Salesman
11. The Abominable Snow Rabbit
12. The Super Snooper
13. The Upstanding Sitter
14. Hollywood Daffy
15. You Were Never Duckier

Disc 2
1. Bewitched Bunny
2. Paying The Piper
3. The Bear's Tale
4. Foney Fables
5. Goldimouse And The Three Cats
6. Holiday For Shoestrings
7. Little Red Rodent Hood
8. Little Redwalking Hood
9. Red Riding Hoodwinked
10. The Trial Of Mr. Wolf
11. The Turn-Tale Wolf
12. Tom Thumb In Trouble
13. Tweety And The Beanstalk
14. A Gander A Mother Goose
15. Se?Orella And The Glass Huarache

I have the first 4 golden collections. This time I thought I'd get the spotlight collection since the extra disks don't have much that I enjoy. From reading reviews, I was under the impression that the spotlight collection is just two disks straight out of the golden collections. But there is one big difference - the shorts on the spotlight disks don't have the optional commentary tracks to go with them, which I really do enjoy. So I'm trading mine in on the golden collection.

This year's Spotlight Collection is a viable alternative to the Golden Collection volume 5, and a lot cheaper too. This set has the very best of the fifth Golden Collection, namely the Bugs/Daffy disc and the Fairy Tales disc. These are the only discs you need from this year's Golden Collection unless you are a Bob Clampett fan, a fan of the 70s and 80s TV specials, or like the really, really old, badly dated cartoons from the 30s and early 40s.

I've bought either the Spotlight or Golden collections right along and noticed the quality going down each year and this last volume is the thinnest yet. You know Warner Brothers Co is dragging this series out so they can max out their profits, but this is an exceptionally weak line up when you consider the library they can draw from.

I know if the next installment isn't any better I'm cutting things off here. If you haven't bought this yet - take a closer look at what's in here and you may pass. I know I should have.

A great value for the price! For those who don't want to invest in the Gold Collection or can't afford it, this is a good purchase. It contains plenty of toons on the two dvds, 30 in all, more than enough to keep a child or adult occupied for quite some time. I loved Ali Baba Bunny, The Abominable Snow Rabbit, Bewitched Bunny, Holiday for Shoestrings. It was great to watch them all again, and I look forward to watching them over and over. The only thing I miss is the intro song to the t.v. show, but still very happy with my purchase. And Daffy, Bugs, Pepe, Sylvester and the gang kept me laughing or giggling the whole time. Hope they release more of these in the future. May not be as perfect as the Gold Collection (from what I read in reviews), but it is good to me!

I purchased this movie for my mother for her 51st birthday. She spoke of memories of certain cartoons on Bugs Bunny. I purchased the item on a monday and recieved it on wed. it was in perfect condition. My mother's face when she opened it was one of the memories that I will carry for the rest of my life. She laughed and laughed as she watched it. What was great about it was that I remembered them from growing up as well. What a wonderful gift for anyone who loves watching their favorite childhood movies.

I found a small number of favorites in this collection that I hoped to get.One was Transylvania-six 5000 and one, but only one of my favorite witch, but, unlike in Collection three, this one cartoon was finally complete, as was Ali Baba Bunny. I understand they are doing only one more Golden Collection for now. I hope they will continue the Spotlight Collections as I find it a good way to find some really good cartoons without spending too much.

As one of the five volumes from the collection, this one was loaded with the cartoons I grew up watching and enjoying. Great Volume from a great collection!!!!!

It's great to be able to sit and watch a few cartoons I remember watching when I was a kid. It's funny the things you remember and the things you didn't understand then. It's a nice break from the shows that kids watch now. My nieces love to watch these when they are over.

I got this for my 4 year old son. He loves Looney Tunes, but not the older black and white ones. Decided to forgo the Golden Collection 5 for this Spotlight Collection. Very happy with our choice.
