Title: Why?
Product review: At first I thought this book was a kind of less involved but broader reaching version of the Beck & Friedwald book on Warners. Cartoons are listed alphabetically with date and (very) brief credits along with a one or two line review. Although not as in depth as the B&F book it does cover cartoons from all the studios. Fine, but although it covers all the studios it doesn't cover all the cartoons! The introduction tells us that it covers all types of animation (drawn, puppet, computer etc) but only that available on videotape or on TV & Cinema release now or recently. So why doesn't it mention Carrotblanca or Box Office Bunny? Both recent Bugs Bunny cartoons. It has the feeling of an amateur book, a listing of someone's personal collection that doesn't include stuff he doesn't have. I'm sure a book that lists every cartoon ever made by anyone is a practical impossibility but this kind of book (especially at this kind of price) needs to be far more comprehensive than this.
