Now as bad as it would have been, there is great news. Warner Archive Collection have released a new Blu-ray set of Looney Tunes. Earlier this year we saw the release of Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 1. Now It is time for Volume 2!
There is no dispute. The Warner Bros. Cartoons are the funniest animated shorts in all of film history, and its classic cartoon stars - Bugs Bunny, Tweety and Sylvester, Porky Pig, The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, to name but a few - are the most popular of all time. This second collection of rarely seen gems - all presented here for the first time on Blu-ray®- features twenty-five more titles that have been most requested by collectors and connoisseurs.
Twenty-Five classic cartoons on one Blu-ray. This is great for bingeing! You could load up the Blu-ray and just was these 25 cartoons one right after the other. What a great way to spend three hours! Take a look at the cartoons included on this Blu-ray!

These classic cartoons have been transferred to Blu-ray in 1080p in 1.37:1 aspect ratio. There are two audio options is a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 and a Dolby Digital Spanish version. There is also the option for subtitles in English, French and Spanish.
These 25 cartoons look and sound amazing! The only exception to this is the cartoon The Eager Beaver. The audio and video seem a tad out of sync. But that is a mild complaint. Even if you discount that one cartoon, you are getting 24 classic cartoons. That is so great!
Now as is seen on the packaging, this collection "is intended for the Adult collector and May not be suitable for children." This is up to the individual of course, but I grew up on these cartoons and I never did and still am not offended by them.
I love when Warner Archive Collection releases classic cartoons on Blu-ray. Seeing Volume 1 and now Volume 2. My mind races thinking what might be included in a Volume 3, if we get it! I certainly hope that Warner Archive doesn't disappoint, and brings us Volume 3 soon!
So, if you are a fan of Looney Tunes as much as I am, you need the Warner Archive Collection Looney Tunes Volume 1 and Volume 2 in your collection by heading over to MovieZyng.
