Volume four!? What happened to volume three?

The long story short was that the third volume of Golden Collection never had an official Spotlight Collection counterpoint. Out of fear of having to release shorts that would not be deemed friendly for general audiences (as the third volume was the first to target adult collectors), what was released instead was the "Movie Collection" that included two post-Golden Age movies, The Bugs Bunny Road-Runner Movie and Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales. Both movies made their disc debuts on that volume but were unrestored. That collection served as the third volume of the Spotlight Collection. Since that volume does not actually include the shorts, it has been skipped for the purpose of this website.

Anyway, this is a cutdown of the fourth volume of the Golden Collection; see that volume's page to learn more. It only contains the first and fourth discs of the aforementioned volume and does away with all the bonus features from Golden Collection. For the first time, the actual short lineup was modified from the original discs, getting rid of two shorts: "Southern Fried Rabbit" for Confederacy imagery and "The Sour Puss" for a suicide gag. For this volume, the bonus feature that replaced the Golden Collection bonus features is an interactive clip show of Bugs making several wrong turns in real-life places.

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.
