Looney Tunes Collector's Vault
Blu-ray collection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Looney Tunes Collector's Vault is a series of 2-disc Blu-rays from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Warner Archive division collecting various Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical animated short subjects from Warner Bros. Cartoons. It is the spiritual successor to the Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Blu-ray series.
Unlike the previous Collector's Choice series - which only contained a single disc with 25 cartoons - Collector's Vault contains two discs with 50 cartoons (51 on Volume 2). Usually, the first disc would contain 25 shorts never-before-remastered on DVD or Blu-ray, while the second disc would contain 25 shorts previously released on DVD making their Blu-ray debut.

Looney Tunes Collector's Vault: Volume 1 was announced on March 13, 2025[1] and released on June 17, 2025.[2] The first disc contains 24 shorts never-before-released on DVD or Blu-ray in restored form. In addition, Double or Mutton (1955), which was previously released as part of Collector's Choice: Volume 4, is also included on this set. According to Jerry Beck and George Feltenstein, this was a mistake; they apologized for its inclusion, and promised fans that the first disc of Volume 2 would include 26 cartoons to make up for the double dip.[3][4][5]
Much like Collector's Choice: Volume 4, only three cartoons were specifically restored for this set: A Day at the Zoo (1939), Of Fox and Hounds (1940) and Each Dawn I Crow (1949). The other 21 new cartoons on disc one are all restorations previously done for HBO Max and MeTV, with Warner Archive correcting the Photoshopped title cards.[6]
The second disc contains 25 cartoons previously restored and released on the various Looney Tunes Golden Collection and Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD sets, as well as The Essential Daffy Duck, but having not yet been released on Blu-ray. One cartoon, Tom Turk and Daffy (1944), received new, improved color grading from its original release on the Looney Tunes Super Stars' Porky & Friends: Hilarious Ham DVD.[7][6][1] Disc two of Collector's Vault: Volume 1 did not carry over any of the audio commentaries and alternate audio tracks made for the Golden Collections.

Looney Tunes Collector's Vault: Volume 2 was officially announced on December 23, 2025 and released on March 24, 2026, having been delayed from an original December 2025 release due to Warner Archive focusing its efforts on Tom and Jerry: The Golden Era Anthology.[9][10]
The first disc contains 26 shorts never-before-released on DVD or Blu-ray in restored form, one more than the previous volume in order to make up for the mistaken inclusion of Double or Mutton (1955). Only four cartoons were restored specifically for this set: A-Lad-In His Lamp (1948), Ain't That Ducky (1945), The Daffy Duckaroo (1942), and I Taw a Putty Tat (1948). The other 22 cartoons on disc one - including Little Blabbermouse (1940), which was originally included as an unrestored bonus short on the Looney Tunes Mouse Chronicles: The Chuck Jones Collection Blu-ray and DVD sets - are all restorations previously done for HBO Max and MeTV, with Warner Archive correcting the Photoshopped title cards.[11]
The second disc contains 25 cartoons previously restored and released on the various Looney Tunes Golden Collection and Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD sets, but having not yet been released on Blu-ray. One cartoon, Hop and Go (1943) - which was previously released as an unrestored extra on Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 - uses the restored print with the uncensored ending that first aired on MeTV+, with the stereo mix being removed. Disc two of Collector's Vault: Volume 2 also carried over five of the audio commentaries from the Golden Collection series.[11]
Due to the politically incorrect nature of cartoons such as A-Lad-In His Lamp and The Daffy Duckaroo, both discs begin with the standard "products of their time" disclaimer - first introduced on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4 DVD set in 2006.[12]
Volume 2 contains the following cartoons:[9]

Looney Tunes Collector's Vault: Volume 3 was announced on July 9, 2026 and is scheduled to be released on September 8, 2026.[13]
The first disc contains 25 cartoons never-before-released on DVD or Blu-ray in restored form, including both Sinkin' in the Bathtub (1930) and Lady, Play Your Mandolin! (1931), the first Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, respectively. Only five cartoons are being restored specifically for this set: A Feather in His Hare (1948), Horse Hare (1960), Nothing But the Tooth (1948), the aforementioned Sinkin' in the Bathtub - which was previously released as an unrestored extra on Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 3 and Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 2, and Slightly Daffy (1944). The other 20 cartoons on disc one, including some of those initially released as unrestored extras on other official Looney Tunes DVD and Blu-ray sets, are all restorations previously done for HBO Max and MeTV.[13]
As with previous volumes, the second disc contains 25 cartoons previously restored and released on the various Looney Tunes Golden Collection and Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD sets, but having not yet been released on Blu-ray.[13]
