REVIEW — “Looney Tunes Musical Masterpieces” DVD

It’s been a long time since I have been exposed to any of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons.  And my children have never been exposed to them!  So it was with great pleasure that I was able to show them this new DVD that WB Home Entertainment is releasing.  Both my children and I laughed really hard.  These cartoons really are timeless.  They spoke to me as a kid; they speak to me as an adult; they speak to my children.  There are very few things in the world that can achieve that kind of timelessness.

I adored this DVD.  4.5/5 Stars.
