Also, take a look at Jaime J. Weinman's excellent blog Something Old, Nothing New for his post about this DVD set, with brief comment and description of each cartoon.
Well, it's a very interesting and surprising selection. People who expected a disc dedicated to Foghorn Leghorn or Pepe LePew will have to wait for at least one more year. I'm really happy to say that this set is very much in the sign of Bob Clampett: disc 3 is completely dedicated to him, and disc 4 contains six more Clampett cartoons. While the omission of Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs and Tin Pan Alley Cats is unfortunate but completely expected, it's unbelievable that "Horton Hatches the Egg" hasn't been included, either on Clampett disc or "Fairy-Tales" disc, especially since this cartoon was fully restored several years ago. Bonus material is generous as usual - the particular highlights are Private Snafu and Hook cartoons, a full length Chuck Jones documentary, and a 15-minute documentary dedicated to Robert McKimson.
Here's some of the stuff you can expect on LTGC vol.5:
