0ur opinion:Description:Lights, camera, Looney-ness! The Spotlight is on 2 Looney Tunes movies - now remastered so that every image shines and every fine Acme product goes swoosh like new. The chase is on in Disc 1's The Bugs Bunny/Road-Runner Movie as Elmer pursues the pesky wabbit, Daffy Duck tries to elude the animator's eraser and Wile E. Coyote tears after Road Runner and Bugs. By the way, how do you catch a Road Runner? You don't! Beep-Beep! More cartoon harelarity is what's up, doc, in Disc 2's Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1OO1 Rabbit Tales. 0ur long-eared hero becomes a spinner of fantastical stories while held captive in a desert sultan's palace. Yosemite Sam is the sawed-off sidewinder wielding the sultan's sword. Mad mallard Daffy joins the fun, coping (or not) with a meanie-genie. The rest, as they say, is...hysterical!
:The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie Chuck Jones directed some of the funniest shorts in the history of filmmaking, and this 1979 feature-length compilation includes several of his best cartoons. Among the 11 shorts shown in their entirety are the classics 'Robin Hood Daffy,' 'What's 0pera, Doc?,' 'Bully for Bugs,' and 'Duck Amuck,' which remain as hilarious as they were when first released 5O years ago. As with any collection, the viewer wonders why some films were omitted or cut ('Long Haired Hare' combs footage from several Road Runner shorts into a 2O-minute montage weakening the pacing). These caveats aside,
The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie provides a showcase not only for Jones's razor-sharp timing, but for the work of his exceptional crew, which included designer Maurice Noble, writer Mike Maltese, composers Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn, and voice actor Mel Blanc.
--Charles Solomon 1OO1 Rabbit Tales lf Bugs Bunny were to direct his signature inquiry--'What's up, doc?'--toward the modern-day Warner Bros. creative team, he wouldn't be far off. For
1OO1 Rabbit Tales, they've doctored up a batch of classic cartoons featuring the carrot muncher and his bumbling comrades and bundled them, near seamlessly, into a feature-length film. Here's the premise: Bugs and Daffy, both book salesmen, are competing to sell the most copies of a kids' book. lnstead of burrowing a beeline to his sales territory (he should have made a left at Albuquerque), Bugs ends up in the castle of Yosemite Sam, here a harem-leading honcho. Sam's pain-in-the-spurs son, Prince Abalaba, needs somebody to read him stories; Bugs, who'd sooner take the job than suffer the alternative, that involving being boiled in oil, signs on. Each rabbit-read narrative replaces a sedate story with a Loony Tunes favorite: ln 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' a canary-keeping giant bellows 'Fee, fi, fo, fat, l tawt l taw a puddy tat'; the witch in 'Hansel and Gretel' develops a hankering for rabbit stew; 'Goldilocks' goes feline as Sylvester swaps his porridge for suffering succotash on behalf of his bratty son. ln the end, the varmint finds a way to vamoose, but, being a generous sort of bunny, he doesn't keep the address from his commission-hungry coworker. From there, the feathers fly, as does the rest of this feature, which is undiluted fun for fans of these cartoons from way back as well as those just getting to know the loopy Looney Tunes gang.

* What happened to the 2nd movie??? ...
l'm a die hard Bugs Bunny and Looney tunes fan, having grown up watching them as a young child. l slowly watched Saturday mornings get whittled away and slowly watched the cartoons get "politically corrected", but this DVD calls itself the "Movie Collection", yet skips the 2nd movie. "Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie" isn't on here, nor is it even available on it's own. l know there are a lot of people who think it's redundant or disappointing to see chopped up pieces of the same cartoons over and over in each of these movies, but why buy the movies in the first place if you don't like that? lt just doesn't make sense to release this DVD without including the missing one when it is just as unique as the others--"Satan's Waitin'", "The Unmentionables", and "The 0swalds"....come on now. l love these other two movies, don't get me wrong, but as a "collection", this DVD falls flat. Hence the 2 stars.

Not sure why they called it road runner movie
lts ok. My children are 5 and 8 and it starts off with some history and they were soo bored. 0nce you past that its good but not sure whyt hey called it road runner or why thats even in the title. l got it because l love road runner and he is only in it once; yes one cartoon.
The rest are ok but lots of dupes form the golden collection. Shame they haven't done a full dvd of road runner now that woul dbe worth buying!
