Hare Force
The use of the name "Sylvester" really bothers me when it is not referring to the cat. Yes, this was released before the first Sylvester cartoon, but the name use still bugs me.

Bartholomew versus the Wheel
This is a very short cartoon, but is enjoyable. I only hate real-life dogs, not cartoon dogs. This is the second cartoon to use the "modern" opening and closing.

Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century
Playing the awful 1980 remake so much kind of ruins this classic for me.

Go Fly a Kit
This is a very weird cartoon. Since when are there flying kittens? Even for a cartoon, that seems odd.

Fastest with the Mostest
This is one of the longest, if not the longest roadrunner cartoon(s).

Dough for the Do-Do
You probably know my comments here before even reading them. It was a terrible idea to remake such a classic as Porky in Wackyland . As if that's not bad enough, the print Cargoon Networm shows is extremely dark. (I remember those comparisons.) This is one of the very few cartoons where the time-compression actually bothers me.

Go figure this one out. This print was not CN's fault, but WB Home Video's instead. They did not want to surpass 60 minutes on any of their Golden Age Of Looney Tunes VHS tapes. This is why cartoons such as Porky's Duck Hunt, You Oughta Be In Pictures, and Dough For The Do-Do are sped up big-time. Therefore, the print from that cartoon you see is from the VHS tape. Maybe one day it will be redigitalized and slowed down to a normal speed.
