Information About

Looney Tunes Golden Collection




The cartoons included on the set are uncut, unedited, and digitally restored and remastered from the original successive Technicolor film negatives (or, in the case of the black and white shorts, the original black and white negatives). However, some of the cartoons in these collections are derived from the "blue ribbon" reissues (altered from their original versions with their revised front-and-end credit sequences), as the original titles for these cartoons are presumably lost.

A handful of cartoons in the first two collections have also had digital video Noise Reduction (or DVNR) applied to them, which unintentionally erases or blurs some of the picture on certain scenes of the cartoons, which has caused controversy among some Looney Tunes fans. The most recent collection, however, has largely abandoned such noise reduction.

The DVDs also feature several special features including audio commentaries, pencil tests, and interviews/documentaries of the people behind the cartoons such as Chuck Jones , Friz Freleng , Bob Clampett , Tex Avery , Carl Stalling , and Mel Blanc .



  • ''''' (the first ''Looney Tunes'' short ever) and '' It's Got Me Again '', the first WB cartoon nominated for an Academy Award . Volume 3 contain 60 cartoons: 52 color and 8 black & white.



Volume 1 primarily focused on cartoons by directors Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng. Volume 2 paid tribute to Bob Clampett and Tex Avery. Volume 3 paid tribute to often-overlooked animation director Frank Tashlin .

A ''Looney Tunes Golden Collection'' will be released once a year into the foreseeable future.

Along with the release of the ''Golden Collections'', WB also released ''Looney Tunes Premiere Collections'' which packaged only half of the cartoons of the ''Golden Collection'' on two DVDs. This practice stopped in 2005 with Warners Home Video instead releasing the Looney Tunes Movie Collection.
