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.

* Selected for inclusion by the National Film Registry in the Library of Congress.

The second disc from the very first Looney Tunes set is pretty loaded with classics, starting out with a bang with Duck Amuck, where Daffy Duck deals with a very uncooperative animator, who turns out to be Bugs Bunny. The disc also ends with a bang, literally, with Rabbit Fire* and Duck Dodgers in the 24½ Century. In between, of course, are eleven more classic cartoons. The Scarlet Pumpernickel is also noted for its unusually large cast of characters, which included Sylvester, Elmer Fudd, Henery Hawk, and Mama Bear. Mel Blanc provided the voice for Elmer in that short in place of Arthur Q. Bryan, the regular voice for the hapless hunter.

Highly, highly recommended.


* Wabbit season! Duck season! Wabbit season! Duck season!
