Wow, this looks right up my alley, mixing horror (well, not horror per se, but...) as well as my love for Looney Tunes. While I agree having complete & original, unedited films presented in HD is the real trophy, but having Mel Blanc's final performance on film as these characters may be worth the price of admission alone.

This is a fun film for what it is. The presentation as always it’s phenomenal. I wouldn’t want releases like this to replace releasing Collectors Choice sets but I’m happy to have this whilst we wait for more Collectors Choice to be released.

I took a few minutes to test changing the pitch of the character voices in the new segments and, for the most part, they're pretty accurate, though a bit "husky" at times. Wonder why the producers chose not to speed up the audio stems to match the older footage and recording style, especially for Porky and Daffy?

Still my favorite of the compilation films and it zips by so fast there's no time to really think about the vintage cartoons being edited versions.

I grew up watching this regularly throughout the early to mid 90's on HBO and then later on over on Cartoon Network in the late 90's and early 2000's as it was one of the many animated movies they'd show on Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theater.

I think this film was the first place that I saw what would become one of my all time favorite Looney Tune shorts, Claws for Alarm with Sylvester and Porky.

I also loved The Duxorcist, especially when Melissa Duck says "Marry had a little lamb, BUT I ATE IT", I still to this day quote this line from time to time.
