Looney Tunes Super Stars: Sylvester & Hippety Hopper - Marsupial Mayhem

Sufferin' Succotash! That Bad Ol' Putty Tat Is Getting His Own DVD
If you remember the last Stu Show from December of 2012 when Jerry Beck said that the Sylvester & Friends and the second Daffy Duck Super Stars DVDs were canceled. Well guess what, he lied to us again that looney joker (like what he did in March when he said that the Super Stars DVDs ended but didn't since they've brung out the Porky Pig DVD in November last year). I guess they changed the title of the DVD and renamed it "Sylvester & Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem" and will contain all 13 Hippety Hopper cartoons and 5 of Sylvester Jr.'s stand alone cartoons (there are 12 in total with the ones featuring Hippety Hopper). Here are the list of shorts it will contain:

OH, THE SHAME OF IT!
Hey, it's the Looney Tunes DVD that doubles as a drinking game! Take a shot every time you hear the phrase "giant mouse!"

Yes, the latest Looney Tunes Super Stars release, Sylvester & Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem is just that: every single one of the cartoons Bob McKimson directed featuring either Hippety Hopper or Sylvester Junior. (Along with the one he didn't direct, Friz Freleng's Goldimouse and the Three Cats.) Most of these are centered around the concept of Sylvester and son mistaking the loose baby kangaroo for a giant mouse, a delightfully absurd premise created by writer Warren Foster that called for a lot of creative leeway (for one, joeys don't have round ears). Things play out in such a similar fashion in each cartoon that it's hard to single out any individual one for praise, beyond, "the earliest ones are best."

The restorations on this disc, as they've been for the past year or two of Warner cartoon releases, are a mixed bag. True, they are...
