Taz's Jungle Jams

Taz's Jungle Jams Rotate cover
This is the final VHS release in America for the general retail market. Once again, another Taz targeted release that also includes a handful of bonuses, most being double dips thanks to the Stars of Space Jam release years prior. Debatably worse, originally the bonus cartoons would've consisted of "Bushy Hare", "The Lion's Busy", and "Nelly's Folly" in addition to "Apes of Wrath" seen in the final lineup, but they were swapped out last minute, presumably in an attempt to add the more familiar characters for a family release. Not many people were impressed with the double dips. All shorts included here except for "The Lyin' Mouse" have since been restored on DVD or Blu-ray.

Collector's Recommendation Score

What's this?This is a rating of how recommended it is to obtain the set, rated from a scale of 0 to 10. This is automatically done and is calculated from three criteria by default: how many shorts are new to the format (20%), how many shorts is an upgrade from previous releases (30%), and how many shorts don't have an upgrade in future releases (50%). The higher the score, the more recommended the set is.

Each short in itself contributes an equal amount, and miscellaneous and post-Golden Age shorts are also included. Thus, even if all Golden Age shorts are upgraded in later sets, shorts in other categories may still prevent the set from scoring a 0.

For compilation sets, only the amount of shorts without a better version on later sets are scored for up to 10 points, as they tend to be repackages of previously released sets.

Any set that scores 0 on new-to-format or upgrade tests are deemed as double dip-only sets and instantly fails with a 0. Sets that also scores 0 on the "don't have an upgrade" test are also deemed as obsolete, usurped sets and instantly fails with a 0. As more sets get released, the score may be subject to change.

This is not an exhaustive rating on the set itself in terms of quality, but rather a marker on how worthwhile it is the obtain the set for a complete collection in the most cost-efficient way. Thus, sets with a higher score are a much better value for your cash than lower rated ones; sets rated with a 0 are generally a waste of cash.
This set has achieved a Collector's Recommendation Score of 1.111 out of 10, based on the sum of the score from the following categories:
  • New-to-format score (up to 2 points): 0.22
  • Upgrade score (up to 3 points): 0.33
  • Doesn't have an better version score (up to 5 points): 0.56

It is highly not recommended to get this set for collection's sake. It consists primarily of double dips shorts or inferior versions of the best available shorts, or is a cut down version of a bigger set that generally have the same cartoons plus several others not included. If this set is old, most of the shorts might have been updated to better versions. Getting this set is not worth its value compared to higher rated sets, and should be avoided for collector's purposes.
