Most of us grew up watching these cartoons and can appreciate the value. You may not be aware, but there are no longer any Saturday morning cartoons on the main TV networks, and children's TV is a wasteland. Kids today will treasure a collection like this one.

I had purchased something like this a few years back - for long trips to the beach - the kids love them....plus Tom & Jerry cartoons - the old ones with Mammy in them...I have the WW II collection as well with Bugs Bunny making fun of Hitler and Tojo - and the one with the gremlin in it...it’s what I watched in the 70’s growing up...

WOW!!! I am shocked that looney tunes are even legal in today’s uber-PC society.

I remember Comando Daffy asking for scrap metal and kicking hitler in the ass. I remember Bugs outsmarting African savages.

Over 4 hours of the original Looney Tunes from the Cartoon channel =>

Skimming through the video, it looks like these are mostly from the 1930s. Some are very un-PC.

Most kids will only watch what their peers watch. For most people, history (and pop culture) starts the day they are born. It took me decades to appreciate music or movies made before I was born. Good luck getting the kids to sit still for cartoons like this or enjoying them.

YAY! Ordered! Had put it on my wish list, but at over $100 wasn’t in a hurry to get it. Between today’s discount and $30 in Amazon CC credits and a $1 credit for opting for “no hurry” shipping, it came out to under $20!

Thanks for letting FR know!

I’m sure that liberals would get their knickers in a twist watching these cartoons with their violence and sometimes racial overtones (especially the WW-II era cartoons), but my generation seemed to do OK watching them.

I agree, it seems a good buy, but I have at times recorded Loony Toon fests with the DVR and my grand daughters refuse to watch them.

They are wholly unfamiliar (therefore uncomfortable) with recognizable representations LT characters had with normal life.

What they have been brought up with are disjointed, unconnected angular mutations of some manner of beings whose appearances bear no resemblance to actuality. Further, these characters speak in disjointed English and use words that have no real meaning. It is nothing more than brain washing, IMO

It is just depressing to see what has happened to my country.

Are they the pre-PC versions?
