Looney Tunes: Golden Collection 2

[PabloEsp]

We have some terrific new info that you've all been waiting for: THE EXTRAS! Warner Home Video will soon make a general announcement for the second volume, and these extras will be listed:

Commentaries on more than 30 Cartoons
9 Behind the Tunes Featurettes
2 Documentaries
50th-Anniversary "Bugs Bunny Tribute" Show
"The Adventures of the Road Runner" 1962 TV Pilot
"From The Vaults" Bonus Cartoon Rareties
New 2004 Short "Daffy Duck for President"
Music-Only Tracks, Bridging Sequences, Audio Recording Sessions
As we know from our last news item, one of the two documentaries listed is about Bob Clampett. Clampett's work is certainly represented on this set, both as animator and as director, in shorts such as "I Love to Singa", "Porky in Wackyland", and "A Corny Concerto".

Speaking of that, we need to make a correction about that list of shorts we originally published: one of the titles listed was "Corny Concerto" (Doc and Champ - 1943) . The year listed, 1943, was correct. And the title we gave was close: "A Corny Concerto", starring Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd, is the proper way this ought to have been listed. When looking up details, I confused it with a similarly-named Walter Lantz Productions cartoon - starring "Doc" and "Champ" - from 1962. The '43 Bugs/Porky/Elmer cartoon is a classic, though: this is the one where Bugs and Porky dance ballets to Johann Strauss' Vienna Woods and Blue Danube, after introductions by "host" Elmer Fudd (who struggles with his tuxedo). It is widely considered to be a parody of Disney's 1940 film, Fantasia. I regret the error in my previous listing, and we have corrected it there today. Our thanks to sharp-eyed reader Mark Colangelo for alerting us to it!

Specs are full-frame, of course, with Mono sound and subtitles in English, French, and Spanish. It's also closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
