Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 2


Back to Collector's Choice main page
Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 2 Rotate cover
The second volume aims for a more variety pack of sorts, containing shorts from practically the rise of Avery's tenure until near the end of the Termine Terrace studio's output.

The included two newly restored shorts include "Brother Brat" and "Ghost Wanted". The others are sourced from the 2020 restorations. Notably, this set primarily releases the two shorts with the Jerry Colonna-esque worm, finishes up Charlie Dog's filmography not restored on disc, and includes some of the more notable public domain shorts that have been present in a lot of public domain VHSes for a lot of old-day collectors. "Cross Country Detours" is also included with its original titles.

Additionally, this set also introduces the trend of having at least two shorts being upgraded despite being released on DVD or Blu-ray beforehand; those being "Rabbit Rampage", which was restored without DVNR this time, and "One Meat Brawl", which was unrestored as its 1995 dubbed version on the Hilarious Ham Super Stars set.

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 9.92 out of 10, based on the sum of the score from the following categories:
  • New-to-format score (up to 2 points): 1.92
  • 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.
