No, the first volume of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection isn’t a completist’s chronological dream come true a la the first volume of the Tom & Jerry: Golden Collection. And no, you won’t find every Looney Tunes short you may be hoping to reacquaint yourself with. But don’t be so quick to grumble. The words “Volume One” carry a lot of promise, and the fact that the 3-disc set features “The Complete Marvin the Martian,” “The Complete Tasmanian Devil,” “The Complete Witch Hazel,” “The Complete Marc Antony” and “The Complete Ralph Phillips” bodes well for future releases and bigger, badder fill-in-the-gap character treatments. (I’m already jazzed for whatever future volume inevitably gives us other complete character collections in anvil-dropping, eye-popping high definition.) As opening assaults go, the first volume of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection functions as a greatest hits reel and a showcase of lesser known animated shorts; as a satisfying meal and as a tasty treat that leaves you hungry for more; as a strong standalone collection and as the first of many Looney Tunes releases. I’ll be the first to admit perfection would be a chronologically arranged, 28-disc opera omnia, but we’ll get there. One easily digestible volume at a time.
