Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 1


Back to Collector's Choice main page
Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 1 Rotate cover
The first volume primarily serves as a hook for the then-fearing group that would've thought the set would include just double dips. Although having a smaller amount of shorts compared to the later volumes, it does contain a lot more of beloved shorts over stopgap material.

The included two newly restored shorts include "Beanstalk Bunny" and "Catch as Cats Can". The others are sourced from the 2020 restorations. Notably, this set primarily releases the rest of the Three Bears shorts not restored on disc, alongside the only two 1958-59 season Road Runner shorts not restored on disc, and a significant amount of Frank Tashlin's and Arthur Davis' filmography.

Collector's Recommendation Score

What's this?This is a rating of how recommended it is to obtain the set, rated from a scale of 0 to 10. This is automatically done and is calculated from three criteria by default: how many shorts are new to the format (20%), how many shorts is an upgrade from previous releases (30%), and how many shorts don't have an upgrade in future releases (50%). The higher the score, the more recommended the set is.

Each short in itself contributes an equal amount, and miscellaneous and post-Golden Age shorts are also included. Thus, even if all Golden Age shorts are upgraded in later sets, shorts in other categories may still prevent the set from scoring a 0.

For compilation sets, only the amount of shorts without a better version on later sets are scored for up to 10 points, as they tend to be repackages of previously released sets.

Any set that scores 0 on new-to-format or upgrade tests are deemed as double dip-only sets and instantly fails with a 0. Sets that also scores 0 on the "don't have an upgrade" test are also deemed as obsolete, usurped sets and instantly fails with a 0. As more sets get released, the score may be subject to change.

This is not an exhaustive rating on the set itself in terms of quality, but rather a marker on how worthwhile it is the obtain the set for a complete collection in the most cost-efficient way. Thus, sets with a higher score are a much better value for your cash than lower rated ones; sets rated with a 0 are generally a waste of cash.
This set has achieved a Collector's Recommendation Score of 10 out of 10, based on the sum of the score from the following categories:
  • New-to-format score (up to 2 points): 2
  • Upgrade score (up to 3 points): 3
  • Doesn't have an better version score (up to 5 points): 5

It is highly recommended to get this set for collection's sake, as it currently contains the best versions of the cartoons included on the set with minimal double dips. Most of the shorts featured on the set has yet to be upgraded to a better version or is in their best possible version if they're restored in HD.
