Looney Tunes Super Stars: Bugs Bunny Hare Extraordinaire

Box was a bit beat up but dvd was in perfect shape. Very happy with purchase

Always good to be able to add to our collection of Looney Tunes. Remembering simpler times and better entertainment for kids .

I don't agree with all the folks that say the early Bugs was the best. The mid to late 40's and into the 50's to me is where Bugs really found his groove. They were slick and very funny. I do have a very big question. Where in the world are all of the Foghorn Leghorn 'toons? Foggy and also that fox trying to steal the chickens are sorely missed from these collections. I had made a list of all the cartoons I wanted to get on DVD and to this point probably 50% have become available. Please Warner Brothers take a note from Disney and get on the ball. The world does not revolve around Mickey Mouse!!!! Lets give some back to us "adult" cartoon lovers.

There has been much discussion here and at the corresponding Daffy Duck DVD release on this question. I offer the following simply as food for thought and, perhaps, to continue the discussion. Ultimately, of course, it comes down to a matter of individual taste.In his 1994 book "The 50 Greatest Cartoons," Jerry Beck polled over a thousand animation professionals and historians, asking them to rate their favorite cartoons from 1 - 50. When all the votes were tallied, 17 Warner Brother cartoons made the top 50. At the end of the book, an additional 53 cartoons were listed as a sort of honorable mention, having just missed the top 50 by a vote or two. Seventeen more WB cartoons made this honorable mention list. Of those 34 Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies that made the book, 24 were released prior to 1950. However, the 17 that made the top 50 showed a more even split: eight pre-1950 and nine post-1950. Further, of the five top ranked cartoons in the poll, four of them were post-1950 Warner Brothers releases. Considering specifically Bugs Bunny cartoons, a total of seven made the top 50. Of those, five were post 1950, including numbers 1 & 2. On the other hand, of the 10 Bugs cartoons listed in the honorable mention category, nine were pre-1950 releases.What conclusions may be drawn? At least for those who contributed to Jerry Beck's book, the 1950s era Looney Tunes were more represented at the very top of the list -the best of the best, if you will. But the further you went down the list, the more likely you would find releases from the 30s and 40s, about 70% of all the Warner Brothers cartoons making the survey.Beck came out with a similar type of book just last month, "The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes." This time he extended his poll beyond those who work in the animation field, opening it up to fans that frequent his website. The results again show an overall preference for the pre-1950 releases by a 60 - 40 margin. This consistency extended to the 35 Bugs Bunny's that made the list as well, with 23 coming from the pre-1950 era. (Beck decided not to rank the cartoons in this book but rather to simply list them in alphabetical order.)I don't believe any of the titles on the present DVD made the list of either book, though two cartoons - "Bushy Hare" and "Hare Trimmed" - were cited as being among the 58 best Bugs Bunny's by Steven Schneider, author of the book length tribute to Warner Brothers animation "That's All Folks." There are also a couple of other titles on this DVD that are interesting for historical purposes. "Jack Rabbit Bunny" is the only Warner Brothers cartoon to have been shot in 3-D, and "False Hare" was the last Bugs Bunny theatrical cartoon release, not counting the compilations and later features that began to appear in the 1980s.I am not suggesting that this DVD represents anything like the greatest of Bugs Bunny. In my opinion, there is an overrepresentation of the 1960s while there are still earlier gems that have yet to appear on DVD. Nevertheless, for my money, there is enough here to make a purchase worthwhile. If, as a consequence, it helps to spur future releases of Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, so much the better.

You just can't help falling in love with Bugs.Dave

I was wondering if WB would find a way to continue releasind Bugs Bunny cartoon shorts. Well they have with this collection. This collection contains all cartoons that weren't on previous Looney Tunes Collections and there are 3 here that are my favorites such as Lumber Jack Rabbit, Mutiny on the Bunny and Bushy Hare. Let's hope that WB decides to issue a Complete Bugs Bunny Collection that chronologically covers the Rascally Rabbit's entire output. What a dream come true that would be

Love the bugs

I am too old for cartoons, but this is one of my favorites.

Veramente fantastico

There are 15 Bugs Bunny shorts on this disk, 12 of which are exclusive, and 3 being on the Platinum Collection Volume 1.Some of my personal favorites:Mutiny on the Bunny: Yosemite Sam digs for treasure in the hold of his ship.Lumber Jack-Rabbit: Paul Bunyan's giant dog Smidgen finds Bugs digging a carrot mine.Napoleon Bunny-Part: Bugs sneezes on Napoleon's military plans.There are still several Bugs Bunny cartoons that have not been released on DVD or Blu-ray yet.
