Looney Tunes Super Stars: Porky & Friends - Hilarious Ham

A g-g-g-great collection of P-P-Porky Pig cartoons
Highly recommend this for Looney Tunes fans who love Porky Pig. Porky is one of my top favorite characters and I'm glad he's finally getting his own DVD in November this year. This is a part of the Super Stars DVD series, now you have heard that they said they ended the series but they lied (mostly Wikipedia). Here's the list of cartoons that will appear on this release (there's a total of 18 shorts, 16 new-to-DVD and 2 double dips):

Remastered with its original opening rings titles - **
unremastered dubbed version - ***

*Tom Turk and Daffy (1944) A good one
*Wagon Heels (1945) appeared on LTGC Vol. 5
*Mouse Menace (1946)
*One Meat Brawl (1947)*** Haven't seen in a long time but I know it's funny
*Curtain Razor (1949) Amazing
*The Pest That Came To Dinner (1948)**
*Riff Raffy Daffy (1948) Great
*Boobs in the Woods (1950) appeared on LTGC Vol. 1
*Dog Collared (1950)**
*Thumb Fun (1952) My favorite
*Fool...

Nice !
Except for the Pepe Le Pew disc, this release probably has the best selection of any of the new-to-DVD Super Stars collections. There are still three mid/late 1960s total stinkers and two previously released shorts but the ratio is much more favorable than the Bugs, Daffy, Road Runner and Foghorn Leghorn sets. WB is still dumping a little bit of refuse on us but they've evidently learned not to go overboard with it. Even better, this includes 3 more of the neglected director Arthur Davis's toons.

My only regret is that, with the dwindling of unreleased Porky color cartoons, they couldn't have also included Brother Brat, Daffy Doodles, Little Orphan Airedale and Nothing But the Tooth instead of the three bad ones or the two repeats. I'm not quite sure where those shorts will find a home now unless they decide to release a Porky collection which includes black-and-white toons since there aren't enough unreleased color ones to fill a second disc.

Still---glad to...

G-G-G-Glad that's not all folks
Those who thought that the SuperStarts collection would be discontinued are wrong. It's continuing with an awesome collection of Porky Pig cartoons. Two of which have been previously released to DVD in the golden collection, but that doesn't bother me much as the rest of the shorts are being released to DVD for the first time. All of which I still have on video cassette, but I am sure that it will be nicer to see them on DVD in a beautiful restoration.
