Lumber Jack-Rabbit 1954
Dough Ray Me-Ow 1948 (breathe stupid - you forgot to breathe again)
The Wacky Wabbit 1942
Napolean Bunny-Part 1956

Elmer's Pet Rabbit: not on the major collections, but should have been as it's the first cartoon where Bugs Bunny is named and the first Bugs directed by Chuck Jones.

What's Up Doc? GC1

Water, Water Every Hare GC1

Compressed Hare (not on major collection)

Lumber Jack-Rabbit: LTSS: BBHE

Dough Ray Me-Ow: GC4, PC2

The Wacky Rabbit: GC5

Napolean Bunny-Part: LTSS: BBHE

Racketeer Rabbit: (not on major collection, but exists on some versions of TGAOLT laserdisc, volume 1 as a replacement for "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" which was obviously considered to be un-PC, but it's not documented on the packaging).

GC = DVD Golden Collection
PC = Blu-ray Platinum Collection
LTSS: BBHE = DVD Looney Tunes Super Stars: Bugs Bunny-Hare Extraordinaire

Older DVDs, VHS and Laserdisc not checked, except as indicated.

Thanks for your detailed response! I don't suppose you'd be able to guess the episode where Daffy Duck is REALLY drunk and is trying to put a key in a keyhole but keeps missing but laughing up a storm while he does it. I found a couple - pest in the house and daffy slept here but can't quite get the exact one.

Are there any Yosemite Sam toons on Platimum Collection 2? He's always been my favorite and want to collect all his shorts

My favorite is Daffy.But later versions of Daffy. Not the early ones.

Nope. Only one on the Collection 1 as well. He is most represented on Volume 3 with 4 shorts.

I'm going to go with earlier for my preference. I was just looking for The Henpecked Duck.

Like some other people, I already have the Golden Collection (1-6) but haven't watched it yet. For whatever reason I decide to buy volumes 1-3 of this set. I've read through most of this thread but just to make sure: does the Platinum set contain everything on the Golden set?

[bigshot]

No, not even close. But it fixes a few mistakes on the Golden sets.

OK, thanks. That gives me a good excuse not to sell the old one.

By the way, you might also want to pick up The Mouse Chronicles blu-ray. That has more cartoons, some which are on no other set I believe.

And an excellent selection of Chuck Jones cartoons they are!

Yes, I have it in my Amazon wishlist! Thanks

[ArnoldLayne56]

For any hold-outs still here: Vol 1 only $14.99

[AFILMDUDE]

I wasn't that excited to get the Mouse Chronicles - but did any way simply because it's Looney Toons and I'm a completist. As it turns out: What a great set! It totally exceeded my expectations. Thanks WB! Now keep them coming!!!!

Finally bit on Vol 1&2 at this price.

Now I can sleep soundly knowing I'll be raising my daughter right, by watching violent cartoons with her father.

[movieman1979]

Amazon was sold out, but my local BB had a couple
On the shelf for 14.99. Digibook was/is a little banged up (you can tell this is back stock that was gathering dust). But I had lost this years ago. So it's nice to have it again, especially now that I have kids.

Anybody seen Vol 3 in stores recently? It's the last one I need and I don't want to order and not get the slipcase

[Khronikos]

I don't understand why these releases are treated with such limited care. Not even lossless soundtracks lol? A lot of questionable restoration?

And in 3 random volumes... I really wish they would just issue a nice boxset even if it were to be expensive. This stuff is too classic.

Anybody wonder at the chances for a UHD Boxset? Not even sure how it would look in 4K, but you would obviously not be getting blurays with that.

So the chances of Warner ever issuing even lossless soundtracks is sadly low. What a damn shame.

Not sure what the harm would be in doing more of these sets. Amazon is currently on back order for the first set. I have no idea why Warner does not feel printing more is useful.

And then the whole debacle with T&J is ludicrous. They just decide not to print the set because people complained. So that's it lol? Just **** it not worth the time. This company is clueless.

[ParkerAL]

No chance of a UHD release if the market can't even support more Blu-ray volumes.

There really isn't much point to higher resolution in these. The blu-rays look and sound fantastic, and more resolution would just sharpen up the grain. In live action, that might add detail, but animation is mostly large flat areas of color. No point.
