Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection: Volume 8 Rotate cover
After five years and near the end of the Platinum Collection, Warner Home Video decided to dust off this series and gave it one final volume before deciding that there weren't any more shorts that could be released to family-friendly audiences.

This one isn't based on any of the discs from the previous sets. Instead, it is generally a mixture of shorts from the second to fifth volumes of Golden Collection. Again, no bonus features. Due to being released well after the original run, it contains a bit of a different back cover design than previous volumes. Not many people were mourning the loss of this series.

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. See the About page to learn more about Collector's Recommendation Score.
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. 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.
