Golden Collection is a yearly series of four-disc DVD box sets from Warner Bros.' home video unit Warner Home Video, each containing about 60 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated shorts. The series started on October 28, 2003, and ended on October 21, 2008, spanning six volumes.
The series began in October 2003, with Warner Bros. following the lead established by Disney's Walt Disney Treasures DVD box sets by releasing their own animation for the collector's market. Unlike most previous sets at the time, cartoons from the Associated Artists Productions, Sunset Productions, and post-1948 packages were included at once, due to the merger of Turner Entertainment merger with Time Warner, who originally held the rights to separate packages.
The majority of the cartoons included on the set are uncut, unedited, and digitally restored and remastered from the original successive Technicolor film negatives, or in the case of the black and white shorts, the original black and white negatives. However, some of the cartoons in these collections are derived from the Blue Ribbon reissues due to their original title negative being lost.
Beginning with Volume 3, a warning was printed on the packaging explaining that the collection is intended for adults and the content may not be suitable for children. Volume 3 had a special, skippable introduction by Whoopi Goldberg, who is a fan of the Warner Bros. cartoon shorts, explaining that the cartoons chosen are products of their time and may contain content that wouldn't be considered acceptable to modern viewers, mostly scenes featuring outdated racial and ethnic caricatures, but will be shown uncut because "...to censor them would be like saying [these prejudices] never existed...". Volumes 4 through 6 have a title card instead of a live introduction that explains the same points about how the cartoon shorts contain content that isn't considered "politically correct" by today's standards, but will be shown anyway for historic reasons.
The DVDs also feature several special features including interviews/documentaries of the people behind the cartoons such as Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Ben Hardaway, Cal Dalton, Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Carl Stalling, and Mel Blanc, pencil tests, and audio commentaries by animation historians Jerry Beck, Michael Barrier, Greg Ford.
While each Golden Collection provides a healthy dose of Bugs Bunny cartoons (as well as Porky Pig), additional focal points have varied in each year's release. Volume 1 primarily focused on cartoons by directors Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng from the 1950s. Volume 2 paid tribute with Bob Clampett and Tex Avery shorts from the 1940s. Volume 2 is also more character-specific, with disc 2 focusing on Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote and disc 3 putting the spotlight on Tweety and Sylvester, as well as six additional cartoons featuring Porky and Daffy. Volume 3 paid a small tribute to often-overlooked animation director Frank Tashlin and cartoons featuring Hollywood caricatures. Volume 4 continues to honor to Frank Tashlin and Friz Freleng and features several Speedy Gonzales cartoons. Volume 5 pays another tribute to Bob Clampett, and is the first to feature an entire disc of black & white cartoons (mostly dedicated to Porky Pig). Volume 6 followed suit, except with Bosko, Buddy, and various Merrie Melodies from the early 1930s.
Along with the release of the Golden Collections, WB also released the Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection series, which packaged only half of the cartoons of the Golden Collection on two DVDs, which was aimed for the family-friendly market and as a budget option compared to the Golden Collection. The exception to this practice was in 2005, with Warner Home Video instead released the Looney Tunes Movie Collection, which featured two new-to-DVD features: The Bugs Bunny Road-Runner Movie and Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales.
