Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volumes 1-4 Blu-ray Movie Review

You bought these separately? Whadda maroon!

Reviewed by Randy Miller III November 20, 2024

Psst. Hey, kid! Yeah, you. Do you want almost 100 classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts for less than $40? Warner Archive has you covered with the aptly-named Collector's Choice Volumes 1-4, a space-saving and efficient set that, like their recent Complete Thin Man Collection, simply packs a bunch of already-released Blu-rays into one handy package at an even more reduced price. Needless to say, this one is an absolutely essential purchase for Golden Age animation fans and possibly even worth the "upgrade" if you already own the first three -- as of this writing, it's just barely over $10 more than the stand-alone release of Volume 4 being released the same day.

For a list of all 97 classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts featured in this collection (as well as a short description of every single one), please see my previous reviews for all four separate volumes.

Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volumes 1-4 Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

This space-saving collection ships in a package not much thicker than your average Blu-ray keepcase, with all four discs sitting on two double-sided hinges. As with the individual releases, the front cover features a new collage image and no inserts or episode lists are included either on the packaging or on each color-coded disc.

Only two bonus shorts are included on the Volume 4 disc, which are included in the total number of 97 above.

Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volumes 1-4 Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Almost any classic Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies short is time well spent, so the thought of getting nearly 100 for the price of your average new release movie is almost mind-boggling. That said, these four volumes aren't perfect: the A/V presentations occasionally vary in quality and there are no real bonus features to speak of... but either way, you'd be crazy not to pick this bad boy up unless you own at least three already. Highly Recommended.
