All right, if you happen upon this disc, you probably will only recognize a few of the characters right away, namely Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Sylvester, and they only make two appearances at the most. Some younger fans might recognize Pussyfoot from recent Warner Bros. merchandise, although you'd never see her companion, the bulldog called Marc Antony, on a T-shirt or keyring.

Conrad the Sailor is one I remember pretty well as a kid, where Daffy Duck raises hell on a Navy carrier, infuriating Conrad to no end.

Still, any disc of Looney Tunes is going to contain some gems, so I can easily say this one's recommended, but just not the first choice to watch that I would make.

Oh, and the disc has this as a bonus feature. Yes, if you doubted its existance before, it really happened.
