You have seen many nagative reviews about this product. Here is the reason: Warner Bros. released another collection called “Looney Tunes Golden Collection” which has over 50 cartoons (including the 28 available here) with lots of extras. I am sure everybody who (like me) LOVES Looney Tunes cannot be satisfied with this product.
Yet, there are considerations that more than justify the existence of BOTH products. This is the one to buy if you don’t have the money to spend on the “Golden Collection” (it costs more than twice as this one) and if you are NOT a die-hard fan of the series (and can live without the extras).
Certainly, the films contained here make any collection great. Me? I will buy the “Gold Collection” instead. Compare the two for yourself and decide. This version is not enough for me.
It all depends on your love for these films and the amout you want to spend. Any one of the versions is great!

Why anyone would purchase this edition rather than the Golden Collection is beyond me. Some may say that it is a cost issue. If this is the issue, it is better to live without Looney Tunes on DVD than to settle for the (incomplete) Premiere Collection. Don’t be lame and destroy future sets for the rest of us who care about complete non-lame collections. If you purchases the Premiere Collection you are telling WB that that is what you want; and if that is truely what you want you suck!!!!

Actually, even one Chuck Jones cartoon would have been too many for me. I received this as a holiday gift, so I can’t complain about its merits vis a vis the Golden Collection. The selection of cartoons is superficial and random, with no attempt being made to include the best of each character or director. If you spent your childhood obsessively watching Warner Brothers cartoons on local TV like a good American, practically none of the cartoons that you would probably want to see again are included (unless you actually ENJOYED watching Speedy Gonzales or Foghorn Leghorn). If you are a newcomer to Warner Brothers animation, this set will only make you wonder what the fuss is about.
Worst of all, this DVD is dominated by the work of the incredibly over-rated Chuck Jones, whose fans apparently think that longevity equals artistic talent. With the exception of the Roadrunner cartoons, his work has always struck me as pretentious and too convinced of its own genius to be even remotely funny. His characterization of Bugs and Daffy as a pair of feuding homosexuals was tedious and his timing was off. The fact that he was the only Warners cartoon director to survive into our era has ensured that his name is inextricably combined with Warner Brothers cartoons in the lazy American public’s mind while truly funny directors like Avery, Clampett, and McKimson are largely forgotten.

You would think that something titled the Premiere collection would include at least one of the classics. I was very upset. As for the comment that these are for children, no they were not. They were originally designed for adults. Don’t bother buying this.
