Clap paws, squeal with glee, dance about with joy!
Disc #2, "Hollywood Caricatures and Parodies" really appeals to me. That was one aspect of classic Warner Bros. cartoons that the "new kids" updated faithfully in the "Tiny Toons Adventures" and "Animaniacs", n'est-ce pas? I hope that the commentary includes a guide to the stars' mugs for those of us who were not film majors... and some of us who were. Even I can't quite place all of the 30's people!
"Robin Hood Daffy", I've been waiting for. Source of at least two classic lines: "Actually, it's a buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff, but I'm not telling HIM that!," and the final line.
Now if only I could get "I Gopher You"... The Goofy Gophers are definitely minor works, but the scenes of them stuck in the camming plant still haunt me.
Oh, there's a bucket of 'em just in that one: "Now watch as I put a clothyard shaft through his wishbone." "YOIKS... AND AWAY!" "But I honest and for truly am Robin Hood!" "Suuuuuure you are." And that amazing laugh.

"Y'mean a small, little, teensy-weensy, itsy-bitsy defenseless boid?"
"Yes."
"Lemme AT em! Lemme AT em, Babbot! Gangway, I'll MOIDERIZE em!"

All the best people like Bugs Bunny and Friends, particularly the stuff before 1950 (back when it was funny!) (what's your stance on Tom & Jerry?)
