Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love the Looney Toons but have been apprehensive up to this point at the prospect of hunting down individual volumes of the golden collection. Thankfully my patience has been rewarded by this beautiful box set. It's incredible to have 350+ films together in one package. The box art is fun and the presentation of each volume is pleasing. See my pics and you'll see that they didn't skimp on the individual cases to each volume. They could have crammed the discs into smaller cases but they didn't. At $90 this is an incredible value, as each individual volume retailed for $50. The special features are very thoughtful and well researched and truly delve into the back story of the people who made this series as timeless and beloved as it is today. This is an absolute must for those who, like me, have waited for the compilation. If you have collected the individual volumes in the past there isn't anything new for you, however. My one little qualm is that the individual volumes are so tightly packed into the box that it is quite a struggle to get them out. Update: March 27, 2012 It took me a long time to get through this set and after cataloguing and cross referencing every film heretofore collected, I have sadly come to the realization that this is NOT an omnibus. There are over 1000 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts that were made throughout the golden age. That means that this collection represents roughly ONE THIRD of all WB cartoons from the era. This set provides a little over HALF of the Bugs Bunny cartoons created, and he is the most well represented character here. We only get FIVE Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, and only THREE Pepe Lepews. That means that BOSKO the Talk-Ink Kid (anyone remember him?) is better represented here than Foghornn and Pepe. That is very disappointing. Now i understand there are a number of toons that WB refuses to release because of racial sensitivity, but that number is very small (11 to be exact). I also understand that there are additional DVDs outside this set that collect additional toons from the aforementioned characters. (like the superstar collections) However, the availability of these cartoons is far from comprehensive, with just under half of all toons available on DVD. The 1960s are especially neglected in this set. Only 18 of the nearly 150 toons from that decade are accounted for here. To make matters even more hopeless, WB has started releasing the Blu-Ray Platinum Collection, which feature not only the same toons we got in the Golden Collection, but FEWER FILMS PER VOLUME! That means the chances of us getting a definitive series even less. I want to stress one more time that the toons featured in this set have been wonderfully restored, and likely represent the best of the bunch. All Oscar winners and National Film Registry entrees are in this bunch as far as i know. However is it too much to ask for to be given the option to choose for ourselves which films we want to pay for?
