Summary: Fun
Comment: I got this for my brother for Christmas. I wasn't sure which volume to get so I took a stab in the dark. Hope he likes it!

Summary: Classic Stuff
Comment: I loved Looney Tunes when I was a kid over 40 years ago and my 6 year old son loves them just a much. This is a product worth its weight in gold.

Summary: Lighten Up
Comment: Granted that I would completely reorganize these issues (and the sales would suffer because a smaller number of people would want an entire set of black and white Porgys, etc.) but this in particular is the heart of the Looney Tunes. Clampett, Bugs and Daffy, early Porgys, wartime shorts. I wish all of Clampetts' work was on one set, remarkable stuff, but given the economics I'll take it and say thank you. Particularly as discounted here.

Summary: Another great collection from Termite Terrace
Comment: Sixty more shorts from the vaults at Termite Terrace. Disc 1 focuses on Daffy Duck and my personal favorite, Bugs Bunny. My twins enjoyed Disc 2, fractured versions of Fairy Tales. Disc 3, featuring director Bob Clampett's work and Disc 4 with early Warner Bros. cartoons round out this fine addition to the Golden Collections.
There is really a wealth of material here: twenty shorts with commentaries, several Looney Tunes TV specials, multiple special features and featurettes. If you enjoyed any of the previous collections, you will enjoy Volume Five as well. As someone who grew up with the Looney Tunes, and who has been known to say, a la Bugs Bunny, "of course you know this means war!" on multiple occasions, I loved this set.
The only complaint I have about the Golden Collections is that I would have liked it better if they had collected all of the Warner Bros. cartoon shorts in chronological order, like the recent Three Stooges sets (an example: The Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 1: 1934-1936). Perhaps that wasn't possible given the wide range and long duration of the Termite Terrace gang, but it would have been interesting to see the evolution of their art.

Summary: More great historical cartoons.
Comment: Here we have the 5th volume of fantastic Warner Bros cartoons including those made by Bob Clampett. What is amazing about these cartoons is how historically relevant they are, showing us the the culture of the times with all its warts and charms. The organization of these sets with their focus on either one of the creators or one of the character really adds a lot to appreciating the cartoons. I never knew about Frank Tashlin for instance and learned about him in the earlier volume, while the focus on Bob Clampett in this set allows me to learn about and recognize his unique style while enjoying the classic cartoons I've been watching since I was a kid.
