| Like the previous entries in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, volume 3 confirms how brilliant the Warner Bros. artists were and how durable their creations have proven. The set includes classics that every cartoon buff will recognize: "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!," "Robin Hood Daffy," "Birds Anonymous." Other selections are less familiar but significant in the development of the studio: "Sinkin' in the Bathtub," the first Looney Tune; "I Haven't Got a Hat," the earliest Warners cartoon viewers can watch for fun, rather than as an historic curiosity; "Porky's Romance," in which director Frank Tashlin introduced rapid cutting to cartoons. Some of the caricature films have aged less gracefully. Younger audiences will recognize the drawn versions of W.C. Fields, the Marx Brothers, Katharine Hepburn, and Charlie Chaplin. But will anyone under the age of 60 remember Edna Mae Oliver, George Arliss, or Ned Sparks? The producers have once again loaded the discs with supplemental material, including "Point Food Rationing," a unseen short explaining wartime ration books; a BBC documentary on Chuck Jones; and interstitial animated sequences for The Bugs Bunny Show. "Philbert" ranks as the oddest of the extras: an unsold (and leaden) pilot from 1963, featuring live actors and an animated title character. Whoopi Goldberg introduces the set, explaining that some of the ethnic gags would no longer be considered appropriate. But she correctly adds that to remove them would falsify both the history of animation and American popular culture. It all adds up to a set every cartoon fan will want.

Can someone please explain how Blacque Jacques Shellacque and 'Operation: Rabbit' don't make the cut for three volumes of four-CD sets?

for being subjected to that foul mouthed, disgusting whoopi goldbarf (intro). Why was it necessary to include her?
Other than that should be 5 stars/

This is a good collection. Most of which date back to the early days and introduce beloved Looney Tunes characters. Some of my all-time favorites are here as well such as Hillbilly Hare, Duck Rabbit Duck, Windblown Hare, Rabbit Punch and Talky Hawky.
However, I have dropped a star for the Whoopee Goldberg "racial warning". Having it popup and autoplay on every DVD is overkill. If WB would have made it a menu item called "Sensitivity Disclaimer" that would have been fine.
Actually, I'm getting sick and tired of all DVDs shoving ads, warnings, disclaimers, branding, menu intros, and coming attractions in my face. I have just three DVD titles that do it right. Pop in the DVD, the movie plays immediately. Press the menu button and there is the main menu to select from.

Excellent!
Better than vol.1 & 2!
Can't wait for Volume 4
(I hope WB will release 2 volumes per year, because the Looney Tunes complete collection is over 700 shorts!!!
--->10 sets of 4 DVDs with 60 shorts...)
