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.

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.
