Beyond that it\u2019s also a very fun compilation of the some of the best musical mash ups Termite Terrace has to offer, and you\u2019d be a fool to pass this one up. \u201cA Corny Concerto\u201d garner various short segments including the battle of Bugs, Porky, and his hunting dog, as they outwit one another, and a mother Swan\u2019s attempts to outmatch Beaky Buzzard.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also \u201cRabbit of Seville\u201d the brilliant take on Barber of Seville with Bugs and Elmer going at it once again. \u201cOne Froggy Evening\u201d catches Michigan J Frog as the opera singing animal stricken with stage fright that drives his owners to the brink of insanity, while \u201cRhapsody Rabbit\u201d is a classic piano centered short involving Bugs\u2019 battle with a mouse during a piano performance. \u201cA Corny Concerto\u201d is the classic \u201cFantasia\u201d spoof using Johann Strauss\u2019 music to depict the battle between Bugs and Elmer Fudd, painting a magical tale of horses, gladiators and slain love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHillbilly Hare\u201d celebrates square dancing with Bugs going up against two hillbilly brothers, while \u201cPizzicato Cat\u201d depicts the battle of a cat and a mouse, one of whom is a piano prodigy who helps the cat get in good with his owners when they mistake him for a musician. The fun doesn\u2019t stop there, as the eighteen classic cartoons are filled with various types of musical genres the animators celebrate while spinning classic comedy and gags for all audiences. It\u2019s pretty hard to hate a compilation that has the short \u201cI Love to Singa\u201d starring a family of owls, and their pop singing son.<\/p>\n<p>The DVD allows you to watch the shorts in one lump or individually. The shorts look about as great as ever uncut, and there are a slew of extras. There are optional commentaries with Animator Eric Goldberg for \u201cRabbit of Seville,\u201d and Historian Daniel Goldmark for \u201cRhapsody Rabbit,\u201d just to name a few. Totaled, there are fourteen commentaries for various shorts. There\u2019s also seven alternate tracks allowing audiences to hear the music for the shorts only sans the dialogue and sound effects, and there are four behind the scenes segments examining the finer details behind shorts \u201cOne Froggy Evening,\u201d and \u201cWhat\u2019s Opera Doc?\u201d As well there\u2019s a look behind the legacy of Merrie Melodies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prepare to be schooled in classic music as \u201cLooney Tunes Musical Masterpieces\u201d is an eighteen toon class in some of the finest music.
