  Cartoon Craze #14 - Available at Walmart - $1


These are all Schlesinger Merrie Melodies except for the Baby Huey filler that is on every other dollar DVD. I must have 20 copies of this im-Famous Studios clunker.

The transfers ranger from great to so-so. Clampett`s Falling Hare looks the best I have ever seen on a non Warners Box Set disk. They even minimize the jarring color shift after Bugs puts his finger on the hammer that has always driven me crazy.

But Tex Avery`s last Schlesinger cartoon All This and Rabbit Stew is muddy and faded in places.

The rest fall somewhere in between these two. Nothing too rare here. I have everything on this disk in my collection in VHS and some of it in much better transfer. Falling Hare is the find on this disk.

1. Falling Hare - 1943 - Clampett
2. Fresh Hare - 1942 - Freleng
3. All This and Rabbit Stew - 1941 - Tex Avery
4. The Case of the Missing Hare - 1942 - Chuck Jones
5. A Day at the Zoo - 1939 - Chuck Jones
6. Robin Hood Makes Good - 1939 - Chuck Jones
7. Pest Pupil - 1957 - (Baby Huey - Famous Studios)
8. Ding Dog Daddy - 1942 - Friz Freleng
