Looney Tunes: Bugs Bunny Golden Carrot Collection


Back to Golden Collection main page
Looney Tunes: Bugs Bunny Golden Carrot Collection Rotate cover
This is literally just a relabeled version of the first discs of the first five volumes of the Golden Collection. Unlike most other rebrand reissues, none of the bonus features were stripped out, but that is equally worse as a result - in terms of special features, you're going to only get one half of the special features that are split up into multiple parts, and you're not going to get any better versions of the shorts that were given new restorations during the Platinum Collection era. Didn't I also mention that because they're the first discs of the first five volumes unchanged, yes, the fifth disc has Daffy shorts that don't star Bugs at all!

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 0 out of 10, as it is a double dip-only set or a downgraded version of a larger set.

It is highly not recommended to get this set for collection's sake. It consists primarily of double dips shorts or inferior versions of the best available shorts, or is a cut down version of a bigger set that generally have the same cartoons plus several others not included. If this set is old, most of the shorts might have been updated to better versions. Getting this set is not worth its value compared to higher rated sets, and should be avoided for collector's purposes.
