I live in Barbados and my daughter told me to send some dvds for my grandson, they live in South Africa. I went online and find elmo on Amazon, i made the purchase and my daughter said that she receive the package in 6 days and when she took the dvds home, he started to watch them and he just loves them. He got up the next morning saying that he wants elmo. Almost every thing he has is of elmo. He will be 2 years old in November, and i will purchase some more dvds for him.

Great video! My kids have loved watching it and learning the songs. They have even begged to take it to school to share with teachers and friends. This would be a great gift for teachers.

great for use in the classroom 4 out of 5 stars.

I have found that there is much to be valuable with my third graders. Music is a great medium to anchor learning. Some of the music is "dated" but the kids still love it.

This brought back a lot of fond memories of "watching the commercials" in between the cartoons on Saturday morning. Anyone over 40 should definitely remember them. I plan on showing them to my grand kids so I can be sure that in today's lackluster education system they will at least have learned AND RETAINED something beneficial.

When I was younger, I loved Garfield. Now, as an adult, I still do! I remember watching the Christmas episode when it first aired on TV... I haven't seen it since. I saw that it came out on a holiday celebration disc and immediatly added it to my cart! I ordered it from -dvdlegacy- about 3 weeks ago and still haven't gotten it, but I'm anxiously awating to share it with my daughter. I hope she enjoys it as much as I did when I was around her age.

Finally vintage rare WWII cartoons along with your usual favs 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Let's face it--"Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 6" isn't going to please everyone. If you're looking for an exceptional collection of "classics" that you grew up on watching TV, go for the "Spotlight Collection, Volume 6" as it features the highlights of this set plus two handfuls of rare cartoons that haven't been seen in some time. For many fans, though, this set is just about perfect. It includes rare vintage World War II cartoons that featured Bugs and other Warner staples face-to-face with Hitler and others as well as a great collection of classic cartoons.

Here's a break down and brief synposis of most of the cartoons on each disc:
To Duck...or Not to Duck- A Daffy Duck/Elmer Fudd cartoon by Tedd Pierce and Chuck Jones. Daffy is in his goofy incarnation and the relationship here hints at the one that Jones would develop between Bugs and Elmer later.

Birth of a Notion - One of the rare war time efforts included here from Volume 6--a great one I might add) belongs to the Blue Ribbon group of reissued cartoons which means there are no credits for who wrote and directed it but it clear is a Bob Clampett effort that follows Daffy Duck as he tries to get a home for the winter by "appearing" to save a dog from being poisoned.

My Little Duckaroo (Daffy again)

Crowing Pains -Foghorn Leghorn in his first cartoon

Raw! Raw! Rooster -Another Foghorn cartoon with McKimson at his best. Heaven Scent -Peppy Le Pew one Jones few characters that I never really appreciated.

My Favorite Duck-One of the first pairings of Jones and Maltese also puts together Porky Pig and Daffy Duck as the latter tries to prevent Porky from camping out. Porky wears what looks like a baby nipple on his head. It's a chuckle.

Jumpin' Jupiter -Sylvester and Porky abducted by aliens.

Satan'a Waitin' -A hilarious cartoon where Sylvester's need to get Tweety puts him in...Hell.

Hook, Line and Stinker -A Chuck Jones Roadrunner cartoon...not his best but has its moments

Bear Feat

Dog Gone South-Once again features Charlie the dog that no one wants because he is obnoxious this time matching wits with a southern plantation owner.

A Ham in a Role Those Goofy Gofers show up in another McKimson cartoon.

Often an Orphan Charlie the Dog...you know the annoying one that keeps trying to be adopted by...someone...anyone! A Jones/Maltese production it's clever.

The second disc focuses on the patriotic/World War II cartoons that often were seen only once in theaters unless a revival house showed them or they were shown in a class on animation. These include:

Herr Meets Hare( A funny Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs treats Herman Goring like he's Elmer Fudd and impersonates Hitler and Stalin!) Russian Rhapsody (Originally entitled "Gremlins" by Bob Clampett--another funny one with impeccable draftsmanship by McKimson. Hitler decides to bomb Russia himself but is foiled by Russian Gremlins!

Daffy-The Commando (Self explanatory)

Bosko The Doughboy (A rare World War II short)

Rookie Revue -is another war time short from Freleng giving us an imagery day in the army

The Draft Horse (As Greg Ford points out in his excellent commentary this one was a turning point for Chuck Jones who had primarily been known for his cute Disney character pieces. Chuck stepped into Wackyland here) The Weakly Reporter (" a Jones/Maltese collaboration as with many of these one-off's is related to the World War II. It's a humorous look at how the average person has been affected by the war. It's got a number of clever gags.

Fifth Column Mouse

Meet John Doughboy

Hollywood Canine Canteen

By Word of Mouse Friz Freleng's ode to capitalism with Hans the Mouse. Heir-Conditioned -Bugs again

Yankee Dood T -Features Elmer as King of the Elves who wants the Shoemaker to give all of the Elves up. It's another primer in capitalism. Sylvester also appears and takes great interest in the Elves hoping that through the use of a magic word to turn them all into mice.

Disc Three takes on Bosko (an early Warner character who lost favor by the time that Bugs, Daffy and the other characters were in development) and other early Merrie Melodies stars and this disc includes:

Congo Jazz Smile, Darn Ya, Smile The Booze Hangs High One More Time Bosko's Picture Show You Don't Know What You're Doin'! We're in the Money Ride Him, Bosko Shuffle Off to Buffalo Bosko in Person The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon Buddy's Day Out Buddy's Beer Garden Buddy's Circus A Cartoonist's Nightmare dates from 1935 and is an early black and white Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Jack King

Disc four features a variety of classic cartoons under the "Assorted Nuts" title some of which had characters that only appeared a couple of times and some where they only appeared one time.

Horton Hatches the Egg -A Chuck Jones collaboration with Ted Giesel aka Dr. Seuss

Lights Fantastic -A Broadway musical cartoon focusing on the "life" of signs by Freleng

Fresh Airedale -Again, featuring Charlie the Dog, this is one of the Blue Ribbon cartoons. These reissues often left off the credits as to who created the cartoon. This one looks like one of Art Davis' efforts but without a commentary track and without looking it up I can't say for certain)

Chow Hound

The Oily American

It's Hummer Time is a Warren Foster-Robert McKimson collaboration. McKimson one of the finest draftsmen and animators often was slighted for the cartoons he directed simply because they didn't have the quirky personality of Jones' work or the slapstick insanity of Freleng's. This is a terrific effort from McKimson with wonderfully rich characterizations

Rocket-Bye Baby -Another Michael Maltese-Chuck Jones science fiction classic where babies are delivered to the wrong planet. As with all of the Jones-Maltese collaborations its innovative, funny and shows the unique chemistry of these two who did some of their best work along with designer Maurice Noble

Goo Goo Goliath- A clever cartoon by the perfect team of Warren Foster and Fritz Freleng with expert animation by Art Davis among others that focuses on a drunk stork who delivers the son of the Giant who lives at the top of a bean stock to a normal sized family.

"Wild Wife" is another McKimson/Foster effort from the 50's focusing on a woman's typical day when her husband scoffs at the fact that she doesn't have enough time to do all the chores.

Much Ado About Nutting-This is a Jones-Maltese collaboration. Jones and his animators were always able to elicit laughs out of the slightest movement of a facial muscle and this one is no exception involving a chipmunk who believes he has hit the motherlode when he stumbles on a peanut vendor...

The Hole Idea -A scientist invents portable holes a decade before "Yellow Submarine".

Now Hear This

Martian Through Georgia

Page Miss Glory- is a very early effort with designs that firmly puts it in either the late 30's or early 40's before Warner developed the rambunctious style that would become a hallmark of the studio. ***

Norman Normal- Directed by Alex Lovy, this is a relative rare 60's cartoon. None of the "regular" Warner star characters are involved.

Special features include a documentary on Mel Blanc, audio commentaries by Greg Ford, Mark Kausler and historian Jerry Beck. The commentary on "Fifth Column Mouse" is missing.

We get "Daffy Duck's Easter Special" a cheap prime time special made by DePathie-Freleng the company that Friz founded to do the Pink Panther cartoons. It's co-written by Friz and directed by him. ***

"Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court" is another prime time special this one co-written and directed by Chuck Jones. Aside from Jones' distinctive animation and drawing style, there really isn't much to this tale where Bugs crosses swords with Elmer Fudd who believes he's a dragon and presents him to King Arthur played by the usually clueless Daffy Duck. It's mildly entertaining but the production values are low and the characters just don't gel but it's nice to have them.

We also get a number of extra cartoons including Friz Freleng's "Captain and the Kids" black and white cartoons done for MGM as well as Chuck Jones' counterpart to "Duck Amuck" featuring Bugs Bunny which is often criticized as not being as funny as "Duck Amuck". Perhaps it isn't but seeing Bugs change in a variety of "other" creatures is a chuckle.

There is also a collection of Bosko and Buddy cartoons included as well as Private Snafu and other cartoons that were done in B&W some specifically only for the troops to see.

Overall, this is an outstanding collection that looks quite good. It's marred only by the inclusion of some less than classic cartoons that were included for completists or because they fit with the theme of this set (which probably would have been more appropriate to release around the 4th of July given the cover). Hopefully the next series will focus on the various Warner "persoanlities" and eras as opposed to being an occasional hodge-podge mixture of classic, historically important and rare cartoons.

This series is so well-done. Not only is the storyline completely intriguing and complex, the animation is stunning. If you're interested in watching this show, start at the beginning with Book 1 and work your way up; the story builds on itself so it helps to watch them in order. Having this Book on DVD is so nice because not only is each episode commercial-free, but you don't have to wait a week to see the next episode. And trust me, that's a big deal with this show because it's very suspenseful. At first I had my doubts about how intriguing a cartoon could be, but this show definitely proved me wrong. The screenwriters are very gifted story-tellers and that comes through so strongly in this series.

We watched this probably 50 times in the month prior to Christmas. Caillou is the only show both my daughters 4 and almost 2 will watch. They don't care for the other DVDs as they don't like the puppet and dancing segments. I think they like the relationship between Caillou and Rosie as it is similar to theres. I liked the multicutural flare of this DVD. Extras were of minimal interest.

A sweet childhood tradition 5 out of 5 stars.

This movie is so sweet and refreshing. It's nice to have a movie for children where the children behave like children. I'm very surprised at the reviewer that calls Caillou a "bad role model". I've watched every episode and the movie w/ my little one. I can't imagine a better show for young children. Yes, he makes mistakes, but that's the point. Your child learns that they make mistakes and what to do to make it better. I recommend this to everyone!

Bad role model 1 out of 5 stars.

I don't think Caillou is a good role model for kids he is very disobiedent and bratty. Kids already have don't need extra help with that.

This isn't supposed to be released until next week as of my writing this but i stumbled across a copy that must have shipped early and made it to the shelves at my local walmart earlier tonight. I was one of the guys who grew into their adolescence watching this show and it filled the void that pokemon left when it became considered to juvenile after sixth grade.

This season contains the following 25 episodes:

180 Warriors of the Dead- Goku meets Grand Kai and runs into Cell & Frieza Again
181 Tournament Begins- Goku enters another world tournament
182 Water Fight- Other World Tournament plays out, quarter finals
183 Final Round- Other world tournament heats up, final round begins
184 Goku vs. Pikkon- Other world tournament ends, will Goku or Pikkon win
185 Gohan Goes to High School- 7 years after cell, Teen Gohan goes to high school
186 I Am Saiyaman- Gohan becomes a super hero
187 Gohan's First Date- Gohan is blackmailed into a date
188 Rescue Videl- Gohan must...rescue videl
189 Blackmail- Gohan is blackmailed into world tournament by Videl
190 I'll Fight Too!- Other Z fighters want in on world tournament
191 The Newest Super Saiyan- Trunks and Goten have secrets, Videl meets Chi-Chi
192 Take Flight, Videl- Gohan teaches Videl and Goten to fly
193 Gather for the Tournament- Everyone meets at the tournament, some old friends finally reunite
194 Camera Shy- Everyone is at tournament, prelims begin
195 The World Tournament- The world tournament junior division begins
196 Trunks .vs. Goten- World tournament juniors continue
197 Best of the Boys- Who will win Goten or Trunks?
198 Big Trouble, Little Trunks- Trunks fights Mr. Satan/Hercule, Goku is confronted by mystery men
199 Who Will Fight Who?- The important fighting order is decided, and manipulated
200 Forfeit of Piccolo- Everyone is stunned when Piccolo forfeits, what could be his reason?
201 A Dark and Secret Power- Videl fights a man stronger than expected
202 Videl is Crushed- Her opponent prolongs the match totorture Videl
203 Identities Revealed- Gohan takes the ring but blows his disguise
204 Energy Drain- Two mystery men have a surprise for Gohan which will lead us towards the Babadi, Majin Buu saga.

These episodes are mostly considered filler that lead into the final major villain of Dragon Ball Z and all the Majin Buu saga's. I however enjoy seeing Gohan just be Gohan for a bit before getting back into the action and the first few episodes are Goku entering a tournament in the after life which are at the least entertaining if not a repeat of what we've already seen. I remember liking how they take Videl's character from someone i didn't like at all and made her likeable as episodes went on with the interaction between she and Gohan, it reminds me of Dragon Ball's earlier episodes and Chi-Chi being reintroduced towards the end.

I personally enjoy these episodes but by far my favorite season will always be the cell games saga, maybe because of the time of my life they aired (i was the same age Gohan is at) or the subject's they covered and area's they ventured, they will always be my favorite and the sixth season set was the best out of all of them as far as the episodes go. it may be that after that season I began feeling too old for DBZ but I liked where that saga left off on a high point and in a good place.

However, I find the whole series enjoyable and these episodes are no different, actually I'm finding myself enjoying them now almost more than when they originally aired because the aniticipation that used to stay with me during episodes to see where they were going and when and what the next battle would be is gone now and i can actually pay attention to the slower parts focusing on other areas besides the fighting.

The box and set itself is the same as always with the booklet and obviously the controversial cropped image. The cropping doesn't bother me much and never has and after buying all the sets so far in I don't see a reason to buy them again without the cropping because for me it won't make that big a difference. I hope for some of you that it does matter that someday they release these in original format but they are more than good enough for me. Some shots you notice the cropping but admtittedly it does make others more cinematic or enhanced.

I always appreciate the preview of the next saga's on the last disc and hopefully the next season will come out as quickly as this one did so we can finish up this series and I can relive all my childhood memories before I get too old.

Editorial Review:

Seven years of peace have passed since the defeat of the monstrous Cell, and the Z-Fighters have enjoyed a return to normal life. Goku has eagerly continued his training in Other World, Krillin has gotten married, and Gohan has renewed his scholarly pursuits while attempting to navigate the pitfalls of high school. Two fresh new Saiyan faces have also appeared on the sceneâ€"Goku’s son Goten, and Vegeta’s son Trunks!

Now, the time has come for the Z-Fighters to reunite, as the new World Martial Arts Tournament is set to begin. The greatest warriors on Earth have come together for their chance to capture the title of the reigning champion, Mr. Satanâ€"but behind the scenes, sinister forces are at work. An evil eye watches the competitors’ every move, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. The action grows fierce on the tournament floor, but for the Z-Fighters, the real fight is only just beginning!

Accidents Happen - a life lesson, not just for potty-training. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

We bought this when my daughter was about 20 months-old and she saw it at a friend's house. She needed the messages of "keep trying" and "it's ok to fail." We talked about "Accidents Happen" while toilet-training, and still do even though she is now 4, though now we mean other sorts of accidents. Maybe your child is also sensitive? The gentle encouragement of this video may be helpful.

Some of the other reviews mention shock at the "potty-language" contained in thie video. Huh? What part of potty-training does not include words like "pee" and "poop"? It's beneficial for your kid to know what other people say so they aren't confused at day care, school, church, by babysitters, etc. Sometimes we forget that parents are not the only people that interact with our children.

I always loved Sesame Street as a kid, so I enjoyed the music, some of the older skits (I remember the kitten going up the stairs from when I was a kid), the the funny lines snuck in there just for parents. Some of the dialog drags and I could do without the last musical number (aaaak! in tune next time, please!). But the TP Rap and Accidents Happen make up for the slow bits. I also liked the way you can put the DVD in and it plays the Public Television intro, and then goes right to the movie without annoying menus, then auto-loops back to the beginning.

Good luck on your potty-training adventure.
