Overview[edit]

The Hillbilly Bears, played on a social stereotype of the 'hillbilly', with a gun-toting, mumbling father Paw Rugg (voiced by Henry Corden) who was always 'feudin' (the 'feudin' was usually a lethargic operation, in which the protagonists fired the same bullet back and forth from the comfort of their rocking chairs) with their neighbors, the Hoppers.[2]

Paw Rugg's voice was a low mumble, splattered with a few understandable words. Particularly in the first episodes, Paw Rugg's voice was incomprehensible; his speech improved with the later segments. His wife Maw (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl) was a homemaker who appeared as the more level-headed parent. Their daughter Floral (also voiced by Jean Vander Pyl) had lemon-colored fur (as opposed to the darker-colored fur of Maw, Paw and Shag); she was the Southern belle and most sophisticated member of the family. Shag (the youngest and smallest of the clan, voiced by Don Messick) was a troublemaker who looked up to his father. The voices and personas of Floral and Shag were nearly identical to Judy Jetson and Elroy from The Jetsons respectively.

Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 3 is a Blu-ray and DVD release by Warner Home Video. It contains 50 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons and numerous supplements. It was released on Blu-ray on August 12, 2014,[1] and was released on DVD on November 4, 2014.[2]

According to Jerry Beck on the Stu's Show from early 2013-2014, he said it will probably be the last volume of the series due to the low sales of the second volume in 2012 and no remastering budget for Warner Bros. to remaster shorts previously unreleased on DVD and Blu-ray. Only 4 cartoons are new to disc. This is the first and only volume where the Blu-ray only has two discs.[3] Included is a 12-page booklet similar to what came with Volume 2.
