Thoughts: A funny look at some of the parodies of the big movie stars from the Golden Era of Hollywood, although most of the references would probably fly way over the heads of today's youth. There aren't too many appearances from the Looney Tunes cast, although the inclusion of cartoons starring Beans the Cat and Bosko was a pleasant surprise, since they're not as well known as Bugs or Daffy.
The highlights were Daffy Duck in Hollywood and Wideo Wabbit, the latter containing Bugs Bunny's dead-on Groucho Marx impression.
