Authentic and Original Looney Tunes Cartoons is a series of Looney Tunes videos and Laserdiscs from Warner Home Video. It debuted on July 15, 1992 and ended on May 18, 1994.

July 1992 releases[]

This wave released on July 15, 1992 is also referred to as the "movie title parody series". It was the first to honor Yosemite Sam with his own videotape. It was also the first to include the recently computer-colorized Looney Tunes.

The cover of each tape features the star of the video within the trademark Looney Tunes circles and a golden film strip containing the Warner Bros. shield in the middle below it. The title of each video was a parody of a well-known motion picture. Also included on the front of each box was a "quote" from a fellow Looney Tunes character.

The tapes feature the same opening from the Warner Bros. Cartoon Cavalcade VHS releases from 1988 except the original WB shield graphic is replaced by the Authentic and Original Looney Tunes Cartoons logo despite not being featured on the tape covers.
