Looney Tunes - The Spotlight Collection - Volume 2

Review: When will the WB realize that releasing the same cartoons on two different DVD boxed sets and marketing them as seperate is so misleading? I don;t think they care. They just want all of us to spend our hard earned money on lousy DVD production products, well it will not work. NOT NOW and NOT EVER.

Summary: Cover is misleading-No Red Riding Rabitt
Review: Bought this set specifically for a cartoon pictured on the cover and inferred to be included. "Little Red Riding Rabitt" It is not in there.

Since there is no list of contents, I couldn't have known before opening it. Packaging is misleading.

Cartoons I would give a 4 out of 5.

Summary: Do NOT Buy This DVD!!!
Review: Don't waste your money on this garbage. Buy the LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION VOL. 2. You'll get twice as many cartoons, and superb special features.

Not to mention you have brain damage if you'd actually buy a DVD with that repugnant cover... It's quite clear that Warner Home Video's packaging designers have no artistic capabilities whatsoever, and whoever approved this (and the cover for the Golden Collection 2 set) cover can compete for the trifle of stupidity.

Review: I bought this spontaneously...and I'm quite disappointed. I should have held out for the Golden Collection volume 2...but I did no research first and did not realize that all these cartoons are on the GC2. What a waste of money.

Summary: Please note this is a short version of the 4 disc set.
Review: I can see most people's contention in that the packaging is a little misleading (even though there's a picture of Little Red Riding Rabbit, it's not included here). For the cartoons alone, this collection deserves 4 stars, which is why I'm giving it that. It has One Froggy Evening (featuring the singing and dancing frog- "Hello m'baby, hello m'darling, hello m'ragtime gal!"), The Three Little Bops (featuring Shorty Rogers and comedian Stan Freberg), Stagedoor Cartoon (one of the great Elmer and Bugs chase cartoons), Show Biz Bugs ("I can only do it once!") and What's Opera Doc ("Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit!"), as well as the original Porky in Wackyland ("Yes, I'm really the last of the do-do's! Dodododododododo!"), The great Piggybank Robbery (a hilarious Dick Tracy satire) and quite a few Tweety and Sylvester cartoons (All Abirrrd is hilarious with the boxed bulldog constantly punching Sylvesteron the train, as well as Gift Wrapped, one of the few Christmas cartoons WB produced, Ain't She Tweet, where Sylvester has to get across several bulldogs to get to Tweety and Tweety Pie, the 1st Sylvester/Tweety cartoon). I have no problem with this budgetized version as long as people know that's just what it is (the only extra's you get feature drawings of Bugs, Yosemite Sam, the Road Runner and J Michigan Frog). Now if they're going to do that, they should include a budgetized version of the Bugs Bunny DVD and the Road Runner DVD as well. If you want it all, go buy The Golden Collection, which has all the cartoons on this one and more (plus extra's). But if your budget is low, you might consider this one.

Summary: good enough for me...
Review: I like this Looney Tunes DVD set, better than the first "spotlight" collection set. One reviewer mentioned how the first disc of this set is mainly Sylvester and Tweety cartoons, which is fine with me. I always liked their cartoons. I also read that one disc out of the new Golden Collection set is mostly Road Runner and Coyote. I never really liked those cartoons, so that is partly why I opted for this cheaper 2 disc set.

The second disc of this set has some really neat cartoons on it too. I like the "3 Little Bops" in particular for some reason; I think it's cute. Some of the cartoons on this set date from the late 1930s and early 1940s, with 2 that I can think of being in black and white. One of my only gripes is that there aren't any Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, or Yosemite Sam cartoons on this set. Those are some of my personal favorite Looney Tune characters. I hope there weren't any of those included in the new Golden Collection Volume 2, or maybe I will regret not buying that set! Overall, I like this set pretty well.

Summary: 2 outta 4 since it's half of the other set.....
Review: It's cost effective, yes. But Looney vol. 2 Spotlight Collection is in actuality - discs 3 and 4 of the Gold Set without any of the extras. There is a short feature on disc 1 on how to draw the characters and a short on disc 2 where you animate some musical number...In essence - there are a LOT of Tweety cartoons and then a hodge podge of Bugs and Elmer etc....Disc 1 of the 4 set has Bugs cartoons and Disc 2 is mainly Road Runner, so if you aren't a huge fan of those then the 2 disc set could be the way to go. One plus is that What's Opera Doc and One Froggy Evening are included...

Summary: This Shouldn't Be All Folks!!
Review: When Warner Brothers considered releasing the Looney Tunes on DVD, it was such a amazing ordeal. Many people have rediscovered the crazy and wonderful cartoons that Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and company have starred in back during the Golden era of animation. Unfortunately, when Warner Brothers released the Looney Tunes Golden collection, they also released a lesser-valued Premire cCollection. It really wasn't worth its weight in the money, and its sequel also heads that exact same way. The same is said for the Looney Tunes Premiere Collection sequel, which also wasn't worth its weight in money, or DVD collections either.

The Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection: Volume 2, is actually the second half of the Golden Collection: Volume Two. The 2 DVD's have a lot of good cartoons on them. The first one focuses in on primarily Tweety & Sylvester, with wacky and exciting cartoons like Bad Ol' Putty Tat, and the Oscar-winning introduction to Tweety & Sylvester, Tweetie Pie which Friz Freleng directed. The rest of the cartoons pay respect to director Bob Clampett, with some great creative cartoons that really pushed the boundaries including The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, and Porky In Wackyland.

Disc 2, is a tribute to toons on stage & screen, with wild animated cartoons including some rearkable masterpieces like What's Opera Doc?, Show Biz Bugs, and the ultimate one-toon wonder Michigan J. Frog in One Froggy Evening.

Although The Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection Volume 2 has a lot of good cartoons, it really isn't worth the money. I honestly suggest the more fulfilled Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume Two. It is more worth its money than this collection really is.
