I honestly don't Care how Old I am, I still Love Looney Tunes 😂
Ditto! If anything they just get better as you get older, since you pick up on the subtler humor/double entendres that a kid would miss. :)
The original Looney Tunes cartoons weren’t even made for kids. They weren’t made for any specific age group, the shorts originally aired in movie theaters before movies and most people going to the movies back them were adults.
Oh Zaran! I have the complete Golden Collection but you make a damn compelling argument for a double-dip.
Thanks for the Closer Look. Sadly I will never be able to afford all of these unless they come back into print.
Thanks for your comprehensive review. I'm watching this 18 months later. I own the Entire Golden collection and the Bugs Bunny 80th Blu ray set, but missed out on the Platinum Blu Rays somehow (wasn't paying attention...) but they were just reissued (sadly on DVD only) as a single 6 disc set, so the 3rd (bonus) blu ray for vol 1 & 2 were omitted (I guess if they were Blu ray exclusive to begin with that makes sense), but now I want to track down the Platinum Blu rays, I was hoping they'd be reissued, but Vol 1 & 2 are very expensive on the secondary market..... Lastly, I also got the Porky Pig 101 DVD set. I bought it directly from Amazon (not 3rd party), but after comparing yours with mine, I think I got a bootleg. The case is black instead of clear, the DVD are MOD, and there are small barcodes on each individual DVD for some reason, other than that is looks exactly the same as the set you reviewed...it plays fine...just irritates me that even directly from Amazon they would sell Boots
That isn't a bootleg, that's an official Warner Archive MOD release. With Porky 101, they initially did a pressed disc release, with the intent of later printings being MOD. So it sounds like you got the later release. But rest assured, it's official. I have several Warner Archive titles that are burned discs.
Interestingly enough, Mel Blanc would never actually eat carrots because he didn’t like them. so he would bite off a carrot, chew it up and then spit it in a bucket. He tried potatoes and different things, but only a carrot gave that unique crunch sound.
I remember getting the platinum sets over a year ago. I'm probably also gonna get the golden collection sets at some points despite many of the shorts being on the platinum sets. A few shorts I'd like to see get the Hi Def treatment eventually would be Ballotbox Bunny, Duck Soup to Nuts, Hyde and Go Tweet, and several more Coyote/Road Runner cartoons to name a few.
Waiting for these sets in the mail excited!
That porky pig 101 set is every 30s porky pig cartoon I think
Did you know they released a volume 1 Platinum edition that contained a Bugs Bunny shot glass?
Yes, it was a limited numbered edition. I bought these long after it was already long since soldout.
You gotta do these closer looks more often. I really enjoy them.
Well, I'm doing them almost daily until the end of the month, then there will be at least 2 a week throughout Halloween season in September through November. Enjoy!
Thank you for the description links It helps a lot with trying to find certain DVDs
You're very welcome! That's one of the big reasons I include those (and the small kickback I get for the referral, of course) - to make it easier for other collectors looking to find those titles. Especially with older titles like these, the amazon listings can be hard to find specific things.
My Looney Tunes DVD/Blu-Ray Guide:
- Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Vol. 1-6
- Looney Tunes Super Stars
--- Multi-Family Pack: Vol. 1 & 2
--- Pepe Le Pew
--- Sylvester & Hippety Hopper
- Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Vol. 1-3
- Looney Tunes Mouse Chronicles: The Chuck Jones Collection
- Porky Pig 101
- Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection
- Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Vol. 1 (Volume 2 coming this November)
If you have ALL those sets... you'll have about 60% of all 1000 classic Looney Tunes shorts.
Definitely a few in that list I still need to get! Glad to see they've started putting out Blu-rays again, even if it's MUCH smaller sets than the Platinum Collections... Support those releases, people! We need more Looney Tunes shorts on physical media!
16:52 The Chickenhawk standing on the Anvil that is above Daffy Duck's head is Henery Hawk.
That's it! Thank you, I was completely blanking on his name, despite having seen those cartoons countless times lol
There are actually a couple of World War 2 themed cartoons included on a few of the sets. For example Russian Rhapsody (on vol 2) and Plane Daffy, Scrap Happy Daffy and Draftee Daffy on vol 3. Not to mention the Private Snafu and Mr Hook cartoons included as bonus material on vol 2.
Yeah, but none of the controversial stuff. There's always a few of the "lighter" ones that aren't overly offensive in these kinds of sets.
I got the Platinum Collection and then just supplemented it a bit with DVDs. I got Golden Collection Vol 5 to cover some shorts and features I wanted not in the Platinum sets and then got the budget DVD releases Bugs Bunny & Friends and Daffy Duck & Friends which was a budget reissue of the first part of volume one of the Golden Collection and then from the Looney Tunes Superstar series a Sylvester and Tweety collection and a Sylvester and Hippety Hopper collection.
Hey Sean, Great Collection I have it myself…I love it!!! Great Collection!!
Cecil Turtle from the Bugs Bunny's Tortise and the Hare Trilogy.
Yes I know. I was reminded of the name by the set itself a few minutes later in the video.
I'm happy that I got the Complete Platinum Collection DVD (with all three volumes) that WB has released for their centennial this year! It's like they were aware about the original DVD/Blu-Ray sets being out of print and decided to make up for the LT fans. :)
For the initial copies of Porky Pig 101, WAC did actually used pressed discs rather than burned.
Ah okay, good to know! Thanks for the info :)
Huh, I could have sworn someone had sent you a box of the 6 golden collection DVD sets. perhaps I dreamt that, or maybe you posted a pic of the set in another video, I dunno.
Another set of Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies on blu is the Chuck Jones Mouse Collection, a 2-disc set full of Jones directed cartoons starring a variety of mice. It’s starting to get a bit sparse, but you can still find it new. Nothing you need right now, but a neat curio for another day.
Awesome video!! Sadly these Blu-Ray sets are OOP and are going for collectors prices. I doubt they will get reprinted because of the Pepe Le Pew censoring crap.
Well, Space Jam: A New Legacy will be released on DVD, Blu-ray & Ultra HD Blu-ray soon.
Not a big fan of the packaging of Vol.1. Yeah, it sucks.
But apparently France & Germany got Vol.1 in a traditional Blu-ray case.
I'm pretty sure these were actually made for adults. All of these cartoons are actually theatrical shorts which would be played before the main feature.
They were made for both. Suitable for children, but with subversive humor for the adults. That's what makes them so brilliant. Plus parents DO take their kids to movies, it's not strictly an adult activity.
Ironically for being the platinum collection, and platinum being a step up from gold, you'd think the platinum collection would be be better than the golden collection, but it's not. Sure it may be on Blu-ray in high definition, and loaded with special features, but in terms of cartoons the 3 volumes amount to only 150 cartoons. That's up against the 6 volumes of the golden collection containing 375 cartons! The platinum collection has less than half the cartoons of the golden collection! WTF?!
Well, the explanation is simple. They didn't sell well enough, so they stopped at 3 volumes. There are a lot of cartoons on the Platinum set that aren't on the Golden Collection, and vice-versa. If they had continued the series I'm sure it would have surpassed the Golden Collection in terms of both quality and content by the time they were finished. But I guess we'll never know now. Why not just get both and fully appreciate the benefits of having both? I mean, at least we got 150 cartoons in HD and a multitude of high quality extras. Some is better than none. It all boils down to money, it's a business. If a product isn't selling, isn't hitting those key targets to justify the expense of producing more and still maintain a profit margin, you discontinue the product. Simple as that.
Wish I could find platinum number 2 bluray
I hope one day will eventually have these reprinted or at least Blu-ray versions of this hopefully in the future maybe
Thank you for the comprehensive look. Have you taken a look at the new "Warner Archive" releases?
You're very welcome! And yes, I've taken a look at those and definitely want to get them, just haven't got around to it yet.
WB is releasing a Platinum Collection Volume 1-3 set here soon on DVD. Then I found out in May, they're releasing a Looney Tunes Collectors Choice Vol 1 for bluray.
I have no idea about the differences but I'd rather avoid dvds obviously. Any idea what the Collectors Choice is? Or should I settle for the dvd set?
The Collectors Choice Blu-rays are a new series of single disc releases of Looney Tunes shorts, roughly 2 1/2 hours' worth on each volume. All we know about the contents so far, from Home Theater Forum:
All Blu-ray premieres - uncut - with physical media exclusives that are not on HBO-Max streaming, or MeTV broadcast: including Bugs Bunny in Chuck Jones’ Beanstalk Bunny (1955) and Arthur Davis’ 1947 Catch As Cats Can - a zany cartoon featuring a Crosby parrot and a Sinatra canary and a loopy, early version of Sylvester. Other cartoons on this hilarious set include Frank Tashlin’s A Tale Of Two Mice (1945), Robert McKimson’s Daffy Doodles (1946) and Friz Freleng’s His Bitter Half (1950).
Whether or not there are additional volumes will depend on how this initial volume sells. So it sounds like it's a mix of shorts new to Blu-ray and previously released ones.
@@zaranyzerak I cant find any info about this new compilation of the Platinum volumes....like if it will feature the commentaries, special features, etc....have you heard anything about it?
hi!, you know if have the option to listen them in spanish?
But what is The difference between the Golden collection and The Platinum collection though if you don't mind Me Asking 🤔
Golden collection is about 3x the cartoons as it had 3 more volumes than the Platinum collection. Also there are cartoons in both sets that aren't in the others. Plus the obvious benefit of all the Platinum collection ones being HD remasters that look gorgeous.
@@zaranyzerak ummm Thanks
@@zacharylee1995 Well, I'm not about to do a disc by disc breakdown in the comments lol Suffice it to say if you want the most cartoons, get both sets.
Ummm Alrighty then Thanks Again lol 😊 I'm actually thinking about Buying The Buggs Bunny anniversary Golden collection Set as Well I absolutely Loved Looney Tunes and I don't Care how Old I am LOL They are classics 😁 Same With Scooby Doo since Me and my Family Still Love Scooby Doo 😂
What do you mean by Warner Archive discs are usually burned discs? You mean they are made on the fly when needed? Don't burned discs wear out quicker?
Correct. Warner Archive DVD releases are all made on demand to burned DVD-R discs. Their Blu-rays, however, are pressed discs.
Is there a way to remove the book from volume 1 so I can read it properly? Thanks
No, as with all DigiBooks the book is attached. The only way to remove it would be to damage the packaging.
@@zaranyzerak I am glad they saw sense and changed the format!
Thanks for this closer look do they still sell the blu-rays? Thanks
Amazon links in the description. They're all out of print now, but sometimes you can grab them for a good price.
Why didnt they include on vol 2
CATS AND BRUISES
A TASTE OF CATNIP
CHILI CORN CORNY
FEATHER FINGER
AND DAFFYS DINER INSTEAD
DISC 3 SPIES 1943
No idea. Didn't fit in with how they wanted to organize the shorts, I guess?
@@zaranyzerak WHY DID THEY INCLUDE CENSORED ON DISC 3
THEY SHOULD INCLUDE CHILI CORN CORNY AND FEATHER FINGER instead
@@zaranyzerak WHY DIDNT THEY INCLUDE ON VOLUME 3
A SQUEAK IN THE DEEP AND GO AWAY STOWAWAY
@@zaranyzerak why did they include on disc 3 censored
They should but booby traps 1944 instead
@@thekinglav1925 I don't know. Again, I have literally no way of knowing any of those decisions.
Can you please be my grandfather
Hi Sean are these Lonney Tunes collections region free?
Yep, all 3 volumes are Region-Free. Most Warner titles are.
How much is that porky pig set in Canada?
The amazon links are right in the description... But it's currently $59.48 Canadian.
@@zaranyzerak thx for the quick response Z
Can you do Animaniacs?
I don't presently own it, so not at this time
@@zaranyzerak Well, you should buy The Complete Series DVD set on Amazon.
Neither a priority or in the budget right now, focusing entirely on Halloween and horror stuff right now.
@@zaranyzerak Speaking of Halloween, you should buy the Animaniacs revival on DVD online at Amazon.
@@DennisTamayo That's...nothing to do with Halloween. I'm not buying anything Animaniacs any time soon. It's not a priority right now, and it's not in the budget.
You sound just like John Lasseter
