CHICAGO – It’s not often that we would take the time at HollywoodChicago.com to review and recommend a children’s cartoon but the revival of “The Looney Tunes Show” is not your average cartoon. It’s not as consistently inspired as the original Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons but, much to my surprise, it often comes damn close. The writers get that sense of controlled chaos that made these characters so wildly influential.
 DVD Rating: 3.5/5.0 |
I wish the DVD set from Warner Bros. included more than four episodes (I’ll never understand these “volume” releases — just put out the whole season) and at least one special feature but if you’ve missed Tweety, Road Runner, and some of your other favorite characters from childhood, it’s our moral obligation to let you know that they’re back. It may just be something like a sampler set (running only 89 minutes total) but it’s a damn fun sampler.
