Looney Tunes: Parodies Collection


Back to Home Media Releases

Looney Tunes: Parodies Collection Rotate cover
This rather mysterious set was released in early 2020 as one of the final releases prior to the launch of HBO Max and the 2020 restoration project. Contrary to its name, there isn't a lot of actual parodies over title puns.

Probably the only noteworthy material on this set is "Apes of Wrath" being released uncropped again for the second time. Additionally, three Bugs Bunny shorts are new to disc on this set, albeit unrestored; this feat would be quickly rendered moot when the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection came out later that year and included the three shorts newly restored.

Otherwise, most of the shorts, if they were restored beforehand, are the same prints from the Golden Collection or Super Stars sets. "Little Go Beep" is present as its original Academy ratio version, but is heavily compressed compared to its original release on Supergenius Hijinks. Even more baffling, despite being listed as an included short, "Super-Rabbit" is not the short from 1943, but actually the The Looney Tunes Show episode of a similar name. Additionally, the How Bugs Bunny Won the West TV special is double dipped from the The Essential Bugs Bunny DVD, giving this DVD pretty much a half Golden Age and half post-Golden Age presentation. The result is what can be described by fans as a lot of missed potential altogether; not to mention that this DVD was released late into the DVD's lifespan instead of the newly popular Blu-ray.

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 1.944 out of 10, based on the sum of the score from the following categories:
  • New-to-format score (up to 2 points): 0.33
  • Upgrade score (up to 3 points): 0.5
  • Doesn't have an better version score (up to 5 points): 1.11

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.
