The quality of the restoration and definition on Blu-ray is nothing short of extraordinary, even on the most vintage of the 50 cartoon shorts featured here. The three discs contain cartoons offering classic tales starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Pepé LePew, the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote, and some of the best supporting characters from this classic Warner Bros. lineup, like Foghorn Leghorn (one short features a pining, rhyming, absolutely thunderstruck "Lovelorn Leghorn," which is priceless). There is also a wealth of material for the true collector. Each boxed set in this limited edition is numbered, and the box includes a small book on the history of the creation of the characters and early cel by cel cartooning. And no Looney Tunes collection would be complete without material on creator and animator extraordinaire Chuck Jones. The whole third disc of this collection presents little-seen documentaries throughout the decades on Jones and his work, some creations by Jones and his team that never saw release, and much more. The brilliance and humor of Chuck Jones is of course evident in the cartoons, but Jones is one great interview. And the other discs offer even more commentaries, by the voice-over actors and animators, as well as alternate audio tracks. It's almost like being able to be right in the animators' creative room, trying ideas on for size. But the stars of this collection are the Wascally Wabbit and his sidekicks, timeless animated characters, and relatable, entertaining story lines that appeal to generations. It's the Blu-ray equivalent of comfort food, without any of the pesky calories. For fans of animation and any of Hollywood's classic works, the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection is truly a must-have. --A.T. Hurley

This is it!
Forget all the complaints that this set contains too many "double-dips" of cartoons already released on DVD. These are not double dips. These versions of these classic cartoons, which now probably look as good as the day they were released, have never been available on home video before. Plus, even if you do own all the previous DVD releases several new cartoons and special features make this set worth a purchase.But I want to get to my main reason for this set being better than any Looney Tunes Golden Collections: a better set list. Yes, the individual cartoons are like songs and any collection is like an album. This Blu-Ray set hits exactly the right balance of variety and cohesion. In the Golden Collections entire discs would be dedicated to one series or theme or director, and to all but the most dedicated fans this is detrimental. I love Bob Clampett, but his frequent repetition of gags and storytelling devices means that after an hour or so of his cartoons my eyes begin to glaze over and everything runs together. On the 50 cartoons over these two discs the individual "chunks" in the set list (Bugs cartoons, Daffy cartoons, every Marvin the Martian short, ect.) average at five cartoons, which are perfect digestible chunks.Disc one starts with a chunk of Bugs Bunny cartoons, followed by Daffy, then Porky, and rounding out the disc is one or two cartoons from other main stars (Tweety, Road Runner, ect.). There's a nice balance within these chunks, too. They aren't skewed towards one era of a particular character. You get a nice sample of that character through the years and various permutations: earlier, heckling Bugs and later, more heroic Bugs; screwball Daffy and conceited Daffy; Clampett's wild Tweety and the more reserved (by Looney Tunes standards) Tweety of the Sylvester cartoons; ect.Disc two starts with a sampling of some of the best one-shot characters in Looney Tunes history. These are some of my favorites: The Three Little Bops, I Love to Singa, and The Dover Boys! The bulk of this disc is dedicated to the complete runs of characters who served as villains to Bugs and Daffy, and who only appeared in a few cartoons despite their popularity: Marvin the Martian, The Tazmanian Devil, and Witch Hazel. Rounding out the set are three of the wonderful Marc Antony and Pussyfoot cartoons (there are actually five of these. I wonder why the other two aren't here?) and both of the Ralph Phillips cartoons.Disc three contains several documentaries on director Chuck Jones and about 20 bonus cartoons split into two groups: cartoons by Jones made for either the US government or MGM, and several of the newer Looney Tunes cartoons which have been made in a scatter shot fashion for TV and theatrical presentation in the years following the end of the original series. Most of these cartoons are in standard definition and a little worse for wear, but a few are in HD.In short, this is a must-buy for a Looney Tunes fan, and if you've never collected them on home video before this is the perfect first set to get.

Please finish off the collection Warner Bros.
I own all 6 Golden collections and Superstar collections (Bugs, Daffy, Foghorn and soon to be Pepe). I ordered the "Ultimate" edition of this Platinum Collection, and soon after I received it, I didn't realize that this was also a limited & numbered collector's edition! Everything that's contained in the box is way cooler than I expected! The discs are amazing! All the cartoons are carefully selected from all 6 Golden collections, re-mixed up and upgraded into hi-definition as well! They're so well upgraded that it makes me forget just how old these cartoons are! This is the first time I "double-dipped" with something that I technically already have. But, because its an upgrade to the Golden collections, and a Vol.1 to a new collectors series, I understand. I just hope Warner Bros. knows their fans and keeps giving us what we want. Like, I hope they continue releasing the Superstars collections for example, because at least those have new content (even though those ones also have a few of the same cartoons we already have. Us fans actually have to educate ourselves with every LT release now because the Tweety disc had zero new material and the Roadrunner disc was also a waste of time. If it wasn't for the internet & customer reviews, I and many other fans would have been screwed over). A Sylvester stand-alone Superstar disc with (at least some of) his unreleased cartoons would be amazing. I wish... Wait a second, didn't the description on the 5th Golden collection say "Your wish is our command"? Common Warner Bros. please finish what you started. Just do it once then never again at least. I'm totally fine with limited collectors editions. As long as you guys release the rest of the cartoons, my money is yours!If there is going to be a Vol. 2 in this new Platinum blu-ray series, I hope its all unreleased cartoons. If I have to start my collection all over again then I'll just stop buying because that's not fair to us fans. I'm not rich like they are and I can barley make a living myself. If they release SOME unreleased cartoons mixed with many we already have (like this set) I guess I'm a sucker for it. As long as there is new content, that's all that matters. Thank you Warner Bros. regardless.
