Warner Archive Collection

Warner Archive Collection (or simply Warner Archive) is a home video division for releasing classic and cult films and television shows from the Warner Bros., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and New Line Cinema libraries on DVD and Blu-ray. It was launched by Warner Home Video on March 23, 2009.https://www.enewsi.com/news.php?itemid=14813 At first, the division only put out made-on-demand (MOD) DVD releases, but on November 20, 2012, the first Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray releases (Gypsy and Deathtrap) were introduced. Warner Archive titles are sold to authorized distributors for online sale, who then sell these titles to consumers. This business model is chosen instead of the traditional brick-and-mortar model because it is deemed more feasible for more niche or obscure titles.
Many of the classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts have been included as bonus features on select titles.
Bugs Bunny: Superstar, Porky Pig 101 and Looney Tunes Collector's Choice were released through Warner Archive Collection, rather than Warner Home Video, due to them being aimed at collectors rather than general audiences.

==Notes==
*The Warner Archive Blu-ray of Land of the Pharaohs was intended to include the Bugs Bunny short "Sahara Hare" as a bonus, but it was scrapped at the last minute (it is even still listed as a bonus on the back cover).http://www.dohtem.com/bugs/news/2023.htm This would have marked the short's first appearance on Blu-ray.
*Similarly, the Warner Archive Blu-ray of Rover Dangerfield listed two additional dog-themed cartoons, "Hollywood Canine Canteen" and "Chow Hound", in its press release, but these were pulled from the final release.https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=33602 This would have marked the debut of the former short on Blu-ray as "Chow Hound" was already released on Blu-ray on Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1 in 2011.
