The Golden Age of Looney Tunes

The Golden Age of Looney Tunes was a collection of LaserDiscs released by MGM/UA Home Video in the 1990s. There were five sets made, featuring a number of discs, and each disc side represented a different theme, being made up of seven cartoons per side. The first collection was also released on home video, with each volume representing one disc side.

Like many other Looney Tunes home video releases by MGM/UA, this set uses faded 16 mm Associated Artists Productions television prints as MGM/UA and Turner Entertainment, owners of the rights to the shorts, then had no access to Warner Bros.' negatives.

With the exception of the "Censored Eleven" shorts, every Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies short in the Turner library was released in this collection.

The first volume of the set, The Golden Age of Looney Tunes was released on December 11, 1991 on laserdisc. Due to potentially offensive material in the cartoon Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips, later sets were released with that short replaced by Racketeer Rabbit, which was also released on Volume 3. The first volume contains 70 animated shorts from 1931 through 1948 (1933–1948 on the cover). Each side of the first volume's discs contains animated shorts fitting a particular theme or category - this arrangement is used in all five volumes of The Golden Age of Looney Tunes. Each side was also released on VHS as ten separate volumes
