Description

Hold on tight! Because all your favorite Looney Tunes characters are zooming into a head-on collision with the world's most popular reality TV shows! Th-th-th-that's right, folks! It's time for a REALITY CHECK! Overflowing with outrageous Warner-style comic mayhem, these all-new Toons spoof TV like it's never been spoofed before! Plus, you'll get a load of exclusive added gotta-have-'em DVD bonus features that are positively Looney! In this hilarity-jam-packed volume: Porky and Tweety give you the score and more in Sports Blab. Granny makes Sylvester, Daffy and Yosemite Sam cry uncle in Tear Factor. Then, Bugs, Porky, Daffy, Taz and the rest of the gang are outcast, outclassed and out-to-lunch in a kooky quest to become the lone survivor (get it?) in the spectacularly zany Toon Marooned! And there's more wackiness on the schedule with reality show send-ups from Aluminum Chef to Judge Granny!

Customer Reviews:

Not worth the cost it took to make it....DO NOT BUY or WATCH THIS CRAP!.......2005-12-03

Thank God I found this for 99 cents in a bargain bin - it's the worst thing I've ever seen....

POORLY ANIMATED
POORLY CREATED
VOICE OVER IS HORRIFIC

and if you buy this for more than a penny - you're a fool like I was...thank heavens I only bought it cheap on VHS - if I had bought it on DVD I would have been more ticked off...

I can at least give it to someone with kids who won't know the difference, but for us adults...don't insult us futher - give us the originals, restored, but don't try to sell us this WORTHLESS PIECE OF JUNK!

All the cartoon are excellents but hard-to-find (only in old VHS or VCD) but ALL the fanatics of Looney Tunes want this compilation in DVD!!!!!!!!!

I think this is a Good idea...

That's all Folks!

Entertainment value & Collectability HIGH!.......2005-11-03

The Looney Tunes: "Reality Check" DVD compiles the second half of the webtoons, exclusively produced for the Looney Tunes website. I eagerly waited as these toons premiered, and then disappeared from the web during 2003, in anticipation of "Looney Tunes: Back in Action." As "Back In Action" was released on DVD, so were these compilations ("Reality..." and "Stranger than Fiction!").

The folks who are ripping these DVDs a new spindle hole are missing the point: These DVDs are NOT representing themselves as "Classic Looney Tunes," and certainly an uninformed/underinformed consumer would NEVER mistake this product as a repackage of the classic toons. YES, they are flash-animation based, HOWEVER, the audio is cleaned up from the original flash files, and is nowhere near as ear-piercing as they originally appeared on the internet. Those who gripe about these DVD sets obviously don't wish for the classic characters to be animated any longer, and are supportive of such other series as "Loonatics: Unleashed," the ultimate rip-off of the Looney Tunes legacy. To have the classic characters appear in NEW material, regardless of method of animation is fantastic! These DVDs should have sold out of their initial run, inspiring Warner to perhaps take a look at their Looney Tunes property a bit more closely.

The voice acting is NOT as bad as portrayed by these one-star doubters. In fact, some of the top voice talent available was tapped for this series, not the least of which being the all-star Joe Alaskey! Again, those negative reviewers are not taking in to account that nearly ALL original Looney Tunes voices were done by Mel Blanc, who sadly has not been with us (let alone speaking!) for many years now! The voice actors chosen for this set (as well as much of the new Looney Tunes animation) have been first-rate.

Could the negative response from these sets have been the reason why the new theatrical shorts have been appearing on overseas products (see "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" Australian version) instead of here in the states? Probably not, but if this sort of response keeps up, I'm sure Warner will turn its shoulder to the Looney Tunes as far as new property goes in the future, and continue producing the "Golden Collection" disc sets, and little else.

The gags are brilliant on this set, and the pairings are not likely to be seen elsewhere ever again (unless they release a new volume of webtoons, which I'm eagerly awaiting as well!). You be the judge, however. Certainly, many used and NEW copies are available from amazon.com and Amazon sellers - give them a try! What have you got to lose, save for a little shelf space between your Golden Collection sets?

Horrible, horrible, horrible.......2005-10-20

I rented this for a dollar last week, and I want my dollar back!
The other reviewers have done an excellent job of bashing this abomination already. The "Survivor" take-off had one laugh (I now forget what that was, the rest was so bad), but the rest was unfunny. Fans will have noticed the occasional plagiarism of classic LT lines such as "I'm only twee and a half years old", but even these were placed in contexts that didn't make a lick of sense.
If you must buy this DVD, please burn it and send the ashes to Warner Bros.

Choose your fate: Golden Collection, or this.......2005-07-27

I'd go with Golden Collection, no questions asked. Warner Bros. should leave the franchise alone. The Looney Tunes franchise, to put it simply, is DEAD. But the toons live on. Warner Bros. does a shameless attempt to resurrect the franchise with these new web-toons. Warner Bros. is doing us enough joy with our Golden DVDs, so there has to be some pain in between. This is it, folks.

Now to the shorts: The voice acting is nowhere near Mel Blanc's perfectionist style, in other words, atrocious. Bugs now sounds like "Whaat's uhp, Dawq?", rather than "What's up, Doc?". He's lost his charming Brooklyn accent that made him so damn enjoyable! THE HORROR OF IT ALL! The animation was literally pulled from Macromedia Flash shorts on the Looney Tunes site, and thus looks like.... well, there's no adjective to describe it, so I'll quote Spottswoode from Team America:

"Jesus T***y-F***ing.... CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!"

I still laugh at that scene. The 5.1 sound is atrocious, too. Avoid this rushed together, shameless, lame, stunningly bad excuse for a Looney Tune. Burn it. BURN IT. BURN IT!

BURN IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
