IMDb lists Jones as a director, but the credits only give him Special Thanks.
There is no reason whatsoever for genre Music here, but I won't fight it.
Another compilation film, with a new story joining them together. They even interrupt at least 1 vintage 'toon with the new story. The scene selection menu only lists 2 of the cartoons by their proper names. I have a list with comments about which 'toons are nearly complete and which are partial, but I didn't note the source of that info, and I certainly never ran both the full 'toons and the film's version side-by-side to check. Then again, the Connections page lists at least one more 'toon than I have on that list. <sigh>
The new footage is pretty lame for all the usual reasons of the post-golden-age Warner 'toons: story, animation, music, pace. They just aren't terribly clever.
The vintage 'toons are pretty good, but not consistently fabulous. And I hate having them edited. I prefer the self-contained premise of the 'toon over the new contrivance. Better to pop in a Golden Collection disc.
