I was just skimming it over, even though i don't know german, this caught my eye:

Aus der Serie Merry Melodies wurden Filme wie Falling Hare und Jungle Jitters für diese DVD ausgewählt. Gleich der erste zeigt uns auf einzigartige Weise die Stärken der Cartoons aus der Bugs Bunny-Reihe. Belustigt liest Bugs über die Bedrohung von

Sounds like it's saying the DVD has Jungle Jitters on it.

Lucky Germans and Japanese....

I took a look at the Amazon pages for the German Bugs Bunny DVDs. I do speak German, and I thought I'd better pass along the following warnings before anyone who has a Region 2 DVD player is tempted to purchase these:

1. According to the technical specifications, all the cartoons are dubbed in German. German is the only language choice; there's no English-language option. Even the German customers who have posted reviews are complaining about this. They want to have the option to hear the "original American vocal inflections." One customer says that the dubbing is poorly done, too--badly synchronized, with no attempt to reproduce the characters' original accents and speech idosyncracies.

2. There are no Bugs Bunny cartoons at all on Vol. 4. And at least some of the volumes contain non-WB cartoons: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in Vol. 1 (presumably _not_ the hour-long Rankin/Bass production!), a Casper cartoon in Vol. 3, "Jerky Turkey" in Vol. 4, and who knows what else that the German reviewer for Amazon didn't mention.

3. Volume 1 _does_ contain both "Falling Hare" and "Jungle Jitters."

I guess the Germans aren't so lucky after all.
