"Here comes your Animation Dream Team. Especially if those dreams are filled with rabbits and mice, a sailor man and Superman. Stuffed with cartoon trendsetters like Tex Avery and Chuck Jones and loaded with a mix of masters that includes Warner Bros., MGM and the Fleischer Studios. And, what's more, if each and every toon is on very cordial terms with a popular Golden Boy named Oscar. This 41 cartoon set represents the best of the best from the vaults, an honored array featuring 15 Academy Award winners and 26 additional nominees, some never before on DVD. They're the clown jewels of classic era cartooning, a Dream Team come true in a special one of a kind collection."--Container.
