User Reviews

only good as a curiosity

Made in the late 1980's to celebrate 50 years of Looney Tunes greatness, this special brings together a huge multitude of stars of that decade. Featuring interviews were the actors pretend that the Looney Tunes characters are real people that exist in this world interspersed with clips of old Tunes shorts, the best parts of this are the clips obviously and the interviews with George Burns, Bill Murray, Steve Martin, and David Bowie. The other interviews are extremely hit or miss and seem horribly scripted (especially Jeremy Irons) and as such it's somewhat hard to recommend this except perhaps as a curiosity. This special can be found in two parts on the first and third discs of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2.
