Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 3

Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 3 is a DVD box set from Warner Home Video that was released 25 October 2005. It contains sixty Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts.
Starting with this volume (as indicated by the packaging), the cartoons released cater more to the adult collector rather than general audiences and, as such, contain shorts that have either been censored on or banned from American television due to their politically incorrect nature. A special introduction by actress Whoopi Goldberg (who is a fan of the Looney Tunes cartoons) is featured on all of the discs, in which she explains that some of the cartoons shown here are products of their time and may include jokes and scenes that will offend modern sensibilities, but are shown uncut because, "...removing these...images and jokes from this collection would be the same as saying [these prejudices] never existed".

===International covers===
In international countries, three of the four discs were separately released, under the Looney Tunes Collection label. Disc 2 was not released as its own, due to many of the cartoons from it being removed for being too inappropriate. Likewise, several cartoons from the other discs were not included for the same reason. (For more information, see Notes below.) Because of this, the remaining cartoons from Disc 2 that weren't omitted were included with Discs 3 and 4, resulting in the three discs having 14 cartoons each. Certain European countries also released a DVD set of these three discs under the aforementioned label.

== Notes ==
* The "It's Got Me Again!" bonus was originally planned to be "Lady, Play Your Mandolin!", the first Merrie Melodies cartoon.
* For the documentary "What's Up, Doc? A Salute to Bugs Bunny", five of the ten cartoons are not included in this DVD, with most of them already available on Golden Collection Volume 2 (despite the inclusion of "The Heckling Hare" and "The Big Snooze", as well as "Hair-Raising Hare" from Volume 1). These are: "A Corny Concerto", "Little Red Riding Rabbit", "Slick Hare", "Gorilla My Dreams", and "Wackiki Wabbit" (already included on disc 1 of this volume).
* The woman featured on the cover with Bugs Bunny is from "Speaking of the Weather".
