Today's #VideoWednesday, we are continuing our look at Looney Tunes: The Collector's Edition with these two volumes.

#LooneyTunes #LooneyTwt

Vol. 5: Musical Masterpieces. Similar in theme to the Curtain Calls LaserDisc, but the presentation and variety of shorts selected are drastically different.

"Baton Bunny" (Bugs Bunny) - Dir. Chuck Jones
"Rhapsody in Rivets" - Dir. Friz Freleng
"A Corny Concerto" (Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd) - Dir. Bob Clampett

"Notes to You" (Porky Pig) - Dir. Friz Freleng
"Mouse Mazurka" (Sylvester) - Dir. Friz Freleng
"Long-Haired Hare" (Bugs Bunny) - Dir. Chuck Jones

"How Do I Know It's Sunday" - Dir. Friz Freleng
"Pigs in a Polka" - Dir. Friz Freleng
"Rabbit of Seville" (Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd) - Dir. Chuck Jones

"High Note" - Dir. Chuck Jones
"Rhapsody Rabbit" (Bugs Bunny) - Dir. Friz Freleng
"One Froggy Evening" (Michigan J. Frog) - Dir. Chuck Jones
"What's Opera, Doc?" (Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd) - Dir. Chuck Jones

"Musical Masterpieces" without a doubt is another worthy volume to the video collection. "Pigs in a Polka", "Mouse Mazurka", and "How Do I Know It's Sunday?" make some great additions. All of them show how music is used for great comedic effect.

Vol. 6: Supporting Players. Similar to the "Assorted Nuts" LaserDisc, it focuses on the minor characters and various one-shots (labeled as miscellaneous when not focusing on the marquee stars).

"Mouse Wreckers" (Hubie and Bertie, Claude Cat) - Dir. Chuck Jones
"Rabbit's Kin" (Bugs Bunny, Pete Puma) - Dir. Robert McKimson
"Little Brother Rat" (Sniffles) - Dir. Chuck Jones

"A Bear for Punishment" (The Three Bears) - Dir. Chuck Jones
"I Gopher You" (Mac and Tosh, the Goofy Gophers) - Dir. Friz Freleng
"The Lion's Busy" (Beaky Buzzard, Leo the Lion) - Dir. Friz Freleng

"Terrier-Stricken" (Claude Cat and Frisky Puppy) - Dir. Chuck Jones
"Porky's Double Trouble" (Porky Pig and Petunia Pig) - Dir. Frank Tashlin
"Tree for Two" (Sylvester, Spike and Chester) - Dir. Friz Freleng

"Cinderella Meets Fella" - Dir. Tex Avery
"Bosko's Dizzy Date" / "Bosko and Honey" - Dir. Hugh Harman
"Don't Give Up the Sheep" (Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog) - Dir. Chuck Jones
"Water, Water Every Hare" (Bugs Bunny and Gossamer) - Dir. Chuck Jones

"Supporting Players" is one of the stronger compilations in the video series. Variety is a major factor into making these shorts gel from one to the next. You get a Beaky Buzzard, a Three Bears, a Bokso, and a Tex Avery one-off all on one tape.
