Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Volume 1 contains 20 animated Looney Tunes shorts that have never been released on Blu-ray.

Talk about going into the Warner Bros. vault to find some classics ranging from 1945 through 1959! Not only are these shorts making their arrival on Blu-ray but Warner Archive has made sure that they are restored, remastered, and uncut. While there are various directors, many of the shorts feature the voice stylings of the legendary Mel Blanc. All of the shorts are being presented in an aspect ratio of 1:37.1. Both the audio and video are as high-definition as technology will allow.

Obviously, the set includes many of the big Looney Tunes stars including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Porky Pig, Road Runner, and Wile E. Coyote. It certainly does not matter how many times that I watch Coyote chase Road Runner because it will never go old. You’ll probably have a good time watching the 20 shorts, which run a combined 142 minutes. Basically, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be laughing quite a bit. It also depends on your comedic tastes, of course.

The Looney Tunes characters are obviously iconic and timeless icons. While the situation may change, they’ll still be providing laughs no matter the generation that is watching. Speaking of generations, the case and disc both note that this collection is for the adult collector and may not be suitable for children. Please keep this in mind if you’re looking to buy a gift for children. After all, the Coyote and Road Runner antics can be pretty violent even as one is laughing up a storm. For this reason, I would recommend watching first before deciding to watch with any young children. Just because something is in the animation genre does not automatically mean it is for children.

Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Volume 1 is quite the treat but this goes without saying. I’ll certainly be awaiting the second volume if the first volume is any indication.

See the following photo as an example of violence in the Coyote and Road Runner shorts:
