Good idea. But hey, I didn't bring her up.
I think it all began by talking about some of Warner's more "controversial" cartoons.

Actually, there is a cartoon where Wile E. finally did catch ther Road Runner.

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5
The idea that I need to hear from Whoopi "I'm above reproach" Goldberg or for that matter any other spokesperson (offensive or not) each and every time I play 2 or 3 cartoons is stupid.
The disclaimer needs to put in print on the packinging. And that's it.
What if songs & books came with audible disclaimers? Yuch.
Maybe Warners should just leave all the controversial cartoons completely out of the Golden Collections and just release 1 big "Controversial & Offensive Collection" and simply market it differently.

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5
I have the first 2 sets, and love them. But, when Whoopie came on to tell me how i should understand what i am watching...well...i stopped buying. I wouldnt have even wanted Leonard Maltin. I just want the toons!

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5
Really Rick? that was the breaking point? Poor Whoopie.
Personally, I have NEVER liked Whoopie. In anything. but man, I love these cartoons! I consider Whoopie and Maltin (Maltin is worse, he always comes off like he's yelling) a small pain in the ass if I get to own the toons.
This post is invisible! It also has the power to kill threads!

You don't have to stop buying. Whoopi Goldberg isn't on volume 4 and probably won't be on future volumes. Instead they just have a brief, skippable card saying that some cartoons in this set may contain racial stereotypes. |

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5
Let's see, we wait a year at a time for new sets of these classic cartoons and people aren't buying them because of the intros ? Some of you are just looking for an excuse to gripe about something.

Yes, it's absurd to skip owning the cartoons just because of an introduction! For what it's worth, though, I hate that type of preaching, too. |

Re: Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5
I thought the message on the Volume 4 discs about racial stereotypes was sufficient. It was effective and classy. It's minimalism was a nice touch, and Warner made their (very appropriate IMO) point.

That's my thoughts too. I don't need or want a lecture but I'll take the hit if I can own the cartoons. |
