This set, now out of print, was released in 2011 as a sequel to The Essential Bugs Bunny.
Unlike Bugs' release, this one actually contained one newly restored short - "Porky's Duck Hunt", the duck's debut short that surprisingly never was released on the Golden Collection. Additionally, "Deduce, You Say" was re-restored from its 1998 dubbed Golden Collection print, aiming for a non-DVNR release that resembles what would be released on the Platinum Collection. Indeed, the latter short's print cropped up on the second volume of Platinum Collection in full fledged HD.
Outside of that, the set was primarily the same drill with the Bugs set - the rest of the shorts on the first disc are the same ones from Golden Collection, while the second disc has nothing restored except for a select few.

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.
