Woody Woodpecker & Friends Classic Collection 2 [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

PLAYS ON REGION 1 ONLY. Tried on a few region 2 players, get a Multi region dvd player if you're buying in region 2 territory!In all on this set you get a whopping 75 cartoons...1940's Lantz has passed and we now have 50's Woody, which he is in his more permanent look opposed his changing 40's design.This sets has 45 Woody cartoons picking up from vol 1. The dates span 1952-1958 and our principal director Paul J Smith was budgeted heavily. But... I appreciate these massively nostalgic cartoons. They're well presented, they have some comic value in them still to this day. Some people prefer the 1940's woody, but that would be down to pure taste.You get plenty of Non-woody cartoons produced from 1930-1960 as well, like Chilly Willy, Andy Panda, The Cartunes and now owned by Disney, Oswald The Lucky Rabbit which make's very varied viewing giving Lantz and his studio a wider birth than he's ever had on a media release.You get some absolute gem's on this set and some cartoons are in Black and white(In case there's a problem with that, there's only a few) and as you watch the Non-Woody cartoons, you'll see that Lantz really was inspired by Disney and Warners Looney Tunes. Andy Panda has a dog, Milo who is the spit of Pluto, "A Haunting We Will Go" has all the characteristics of a Disney cartoon. - But it all make's for charming viewing and you appreciate the finer viewings of this set.For any Oswald fan's, A long-lost colour Oswald with his on screen girlfriend Fanny, Springtime Serenade, is featured on this set too. This set contains some mildly un-pc material, nothing outrageous (Not that I get offended by cartoons obviously) but in case you do, there is some mild stereotyping.This set has some rare 30's cartoons and super rare 40's cartoons. It is in all practicality, worth getting. You get your moneys worth and if you decide to skip The 50's Woody's, you have all the other material too with some fine Oswald, Cartunes and Chilly Willys.Also the audio and picture quality is a step up from volume 1, very good also.The box like volume 1 is a slide over case, the box has separate disc holders, on the outside and inside of the box you get specific disc contents with the date of each cartoon and any extra's.The menu's are basic with a play all, specific selection and a special feature menu. Easy to navigateA nostalgic trip and wonderful slice of Lantz pie, with some excellent gems. I would say purchase. It's certainly a set wort having as you wont get these cartoons in many other places (or at all)

my son loves his dvd,highly recommeded seller
