Product Description
From Amazon.com
Brash, fast-paced, and hysterically funny, the Warner Brothers cartoons rank among the undisputed treasures of American animation and American comedy. This second collection, a follow-up to Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, includes such gems as "Porky in Wackyland," "A Bear for Punishment," "Gee Whiz-z-z," The Great Piggy Bank Robbery," and "I Love to Singa." A short documentary about director Bob Clampett features several cartoon historians, animator Eric Goldberg, Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont, and Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi (enthusiastic but over the top). But Warners continues its scattergun approach to selecting films. There are only eight cartoons by Clampett in the set, plus three by Tex Avery and one by Frank Tashlin. "Rabbit Fire" and "Rabbit Seasoning" appear on the first set, but the third cartoon in Jones's trilogy, "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!" isn't on either. More than two-thirds of the films are by Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones. That's not necessarily a bad thing. "Show Biz Bugs," "Bugs Bunny Rides Again," and the Oscar-winning "Tweety Pie" showcase Freleng's razor-sharp timing. "What's Opera, Doc," "The Dover Boys," and the justly celebrated "One Froggy Evening" rank among Jones's boldest experiments and most brilliant successes.
Volume Two includes some genuine rarities, among them, "Sinkin' in the Bathtub" (1930), the first Looney Tune, and the Oscar-winning documentary "So Much for So Little." With 60-plus cartoons, transferred from good prints Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Volume 2 is a collection to treasure. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Another WB classic release
Nov 19 2004
Format:DVD
The second volume of the Golden collection is a must buy for everyone who purchased the first one. For people who don't have neither of the set, what are you waiting for? Run out and buy it.
This time, WB, included 60 animated shorts and tons of extras. Some of the favorites include: One Froggy Evening, What's Opera, Doc?, The Dover Boys, Bear for Punishment, Corny Concerto and much, much more. The 4 disc set is divided into one disc for Bugs Bunny, 2nd disc for Road Runner/Coyote and Duffy Duck/Porky Pig shorts, 3rd disc is comprised of Tweety/Sylvester and more Duffy Duck/Porky Pig and lastly the 4th disc is called All Stars. This fourth disc was my favorite since it included some of the mentioned shorts like One Froggy Evening and What's Opera, Doc? along with Three Little Bops and my new favorite I Love to Singa.
The presentation is excellent for all of the shorts as WB remastered them for this DVD release. Some of the extras include audio commentary, music only tracks, voice only tracks and short documentaries called "Behind the Tunes". There are much more extras included in this set.
Some people will be dissapointed in this set does not contain shorts with Marvin, Taz, Speedy, Foghorn Leghorn and Pepe Leppew. My guess is that these shorts will be coming in future volumes.
Please release more volumes of the Golden Collection WB.

Bob Clampett
Mar 20 2010
Format:DVD
Although I had seen some of his cartoons a number of years ago, I was truly introduced to the great Bob Clampett in this second Looney Tunes set.
In fact, the sole reason someone should buy this is for Bob Clampett's cartoons. This set has been one of the better sets so far, and has me hoping I'll find more Clampett cartoons in the other sets.
Although I will say that the menus weren't the greatest, and the artwork at the opening menus were horrible.

bad menu
In the first volume, the menu shows a image of each cartoon. Not so in the second. It is very frustrating when you are looking for a specific cartoon.
