Looney Tunes Collector's Choice

Looney Tunes Collector's Choice is a series of single-disc Blu-ray sets from Warner Archive Collection succeeding the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection DVD/Blu-ray sets. Each volume consists of a set of new-to-disc Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, all newly remastered.
== Background ==
In 2020, most of the remaining Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons were released to HBO Max (now Max)'s streaming service under a restored state. With a backlog of cartoons and many of which had never appeared to DVD or Blu-ray, or even home video, Warner Archive was conceived to release most of the remaining shorts that have failed to appear restored on home video. This is the first Looney Tunes home video series to be released on the Warner Archive and not through Warner Home Video (not counting Bugs Bunny: Superstar and Porky Pig 101), due to it being aimed at collectors rather than general audiences, as home video sales have declined due to the rise of streaming services. The Blu-ray sets are region-free, hence they can be played on any Blu-ray player.https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/looney-tunes-collectors-choice-vol-1
Like the Looney Tunes Golden Collection and the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection, all of the shorts featured on this set are newly restored to disc, with some being re-restored since some of the shorts present were previously restored with DVNR and only for SD releases, hence they needed to be restored again for HD release. Unlike most Looney Tunes home video releases from 2005 onward, there is no content disclaimer appearing on any of the discs, however, there is a disclaimer printed on the disc itself, as well as in its usual position on the back of the case.
On each volume, two of the shorts featured are presented remastered and restored from the original negatives for the first time, while the rest used are sourced from the 2020 restored prints that were previously featured on digital streaming services starting with HBO Max. As such, several of the shorts present on these sets have photoshopped and/or altered opening and ending titles, though such errors have been attempted to be cleaned up in these releases.
The newly-restored cartoons on each volume are:
*Volume 1: "Beanstalk Bunny" and "Catch as Cats Can"
*Volume 2: "Brother Brat" and "Ghost Wanted"
*Volume 3: "Mexican Joyride" and "Riff Raffy Daffy" (the latter restoration was done using a Super Cinecolor print as the original negative is not in Warner Bros.' possession)
The audio and video bitrate on each of the cartoons is significantly higher than past Looney Tunes Blu-ray releases. The cartoons on Volume 1 are encoded at a video bitrate of around 34Mbps while the cartoons on the subsequent volumes are encoded at 30Mbps, compared to the 15Mbps of previous Blu-ray releases. The audio bitrate on the Collector's Choice discs is 1715Kbps, compared to the 192Kbps of previous releases. This may be attributed to the lack of bonus features or commentary on the discs.
