Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4

Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4 is a Looney Tunes collection on DVD. Following the pattern of one release each year of the previous volumes, it was released 14 November 2006.
Like Volume 3, this set also contains a warning about the politically incorrect humor and racial stereotypes in some of the cartoons, but instead of a speech by a person, it was a simple title card that summarized that the cartoons depicted ethnic and racist stereotypes that can be offensive to modern audiences, but will be shown anyway, because denying their existence is worse than depicting them in the first place. Despite this warning, the Region 2 DVD version of this still omitted several cartoons for problematic content (see below in "Notes").

== Notes ==
* The packaging for the original box-set release is slimmer and more condensed compared to the previous volumes.
* The Region 2 release does not have the following cartoons: "Southern Fried Rabbit" (for racial content), "You're an Education" (for racial content), "Porky the Fireman" (for racial content), "Plane Daffy" (for World War II themes, suicide, and sexual content), "The Stupid Cupid" (for suicide and sexual content), "Here Today, Gone Tamale" (for suicide and racial content), and "The Sour Puss" (for suicide content).
* Barring "I Taw a Putty Tat" in Bugs Bunny Superstar as part of the bonus features of Disc 1, this is the only Golden Collection volume not to feature any classic cartoons with Tweety.

===International covers===
In international countries, all four were separately released, under the Looney Tunes Collection label. This is also the last volume to do so. Unlike the previous volumes, only Disc 1 was separately released in Australia, while the other discs were more promoted in non-English-speaking countries, such as Italy and Hungary. Unlike the previous three volumes, only a few European territories, including Romania and the Czech Republic, released their own four-disc DVD sets under this label.
