Old-school animation fans should be excited about "Looney Tunes: Golden Collection Volume 2" (4 stars, $64.92), an equally well-compiled successor to last year's celebration of classic Warner Brothers shorts. The four discs contain 60 cartoons, most of which have been previously available on laser disc on VHS, but some making their home video debut. The first disc showcases Bugs Bunny Superstar and includes the great "Gorilla My Dreams" from 1948 and 1944's "Little Red Riding Rabbit," while discs two and three are devoted to chases, which means that the Road Runner, Tweety and the late, great animator Chuck Jones are showcased.
The final disc is composed of the great parodies, which means a lot of caricatures of Hollywood stars and people in the news. The attraction for true believers, though, is the inclusion of two Jones-directed classics, 1955's "One Froggy Evening" and 1957's "What's Opera, Doc?"
