Firstly, don't be put off by the lack of box shot or information on this listing - this really is the second volume in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series! It's the same as the American version, so if you want to find out more about it you might want to do a quick search on Amazon.com rather than .co.uk.
It contains 60 cartoons spread over 4 DVDs, along with a host of commentaries, featurettes, rare toons and shorts, clips, voice-only tracks, interviews... the list goes on! The cartoons have been beautifully restored and remastered, and are presented uncut with all title sequences intact (which is just as well, as my only real gripe with this collection is that there isn't much info on the packaging or the menus - you have to play the cartoons to find out what year they were made, who directed them, etc.)
As with any collection of this size, there are a couple of cartoons that I can't see myself watching more than once, but the majority of the toons on here are fantastic stuff. It's hard to pick favourites, but highlights include the classic "What's Opera, Doc" and "One Froggy Evening", along with some pretty rare jazzy Merrie Melodies including "I Love to Singa" and "Have You Got Any Castles?".
This is an excellent collection and an absolute must for toon fans, kids, big kids, etc. If you don't already have it, I'd recommend that you get the Golden Collection Volume One first (but I'm biased towards Daffy, so I would say that); however, this is certainly a worthy follow-up and deserves a place on anyone's shelf.
Finally, because I have a kind heart, here's a listing of the cartoons on each DVD. There are too many extras to list, so you'll just have to take my word for it that you'll be surprised and delighted!

For any looney tunes fan, this is a treat and for anyone who liked the first boxset, this is one step higher. Now, earlier, rarer cartoon are included and from a wider variety of directers (eg.Bob Clampett, Tex Avery). The discs are broken into these categories:
Disc 1 - Best of Bugs Bunny Vol. 2, a good disc with both early and later Bugs cartoons, allowing fans to see how Bugs developed.
Disc 2 - Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote and friends - A huge selection of Road runner cartoons. The 'friends' are Hubie and Bertie, the Three Bears and the Dover Boys.
Disc 3 - Sylvester and Tweety and Friends - A huge selection of Tweety cartoons. The 'friends' are Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.
Disc 4 - All Stars 3 - A selection of cartoons based on showbusiness such as 'What's Opera Doc', 'Book Revue' and 'Hollywood Steps Out'.
After thes 60 cartoons, there are great extras to watch too, making this an essential buy for any looney tunes fan.
