Looney.... But Not Enough

"I really enjoy a whole lot of classic animation that has been coming back to the mainstream recently on video. It has happened with classic cartoons like The Jetsons, The Flintstones, Wacky Races, but also the legendary animated cartoons from Warner Brothers. They truly brought out so much zaniness to peoples' live that really hasn't been seen anywhere else. The two Golden Collections that've been released since last year, have really done extraordinarily well. Unfortunately, even though they are good, they have made a pair of lackluster, cheaper collections that really are more for people on budgets that really acn't afford the bigger, better golden collections.

The Looney Tunes Spotlight Collections: 1 & 2, is a compilation from over 50 classic Warner Brother cartoons. The animation on these collections have been remastered well, and include some remarkable cartoons that feature classic characters including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Tweety & Sylvester. The collection includes cartoons like The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, the spin off of Friz Freleng's Rhapsody Rabbit Baton Bunny, A Broken Leghorn with Foghorn Leghorn, and the legendary Chuck Jones masterpiece What's Opera Doc? The animation and the clips about these cartoons fair very well, and have been remastered well, but doesn't really measure up to the feel of the Golden Collections.

The Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection: 1 & 2 is fair, but doesn't compare to the two-pack of the two Looney Tunes Golden Collection editions that Warner Brothers released. I honestly don't suggest this Spotlight Collection double pack, unless you really aren't interested in all of the first two discs from both Golden Collections.
