Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 3 is the third volume of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection. It is a two-disc Blu-ray release containing fifty shorts and numerous extras. Most of the set's contents were previously released on DVD. This is the only Platinum Collection Blu-ray release to be released as a two-disc set instead of a three-disc set. It was released 12 August 2014.[1] A two-disc DVD version was released 4 November 2014.
According to Jerry Beck on the Stu's Show from early 2014, this was the last volume of the series due to the low sales of the second volume in 2012 and no remastering budget for Warner Bros. to remaster more never-before-released on DVD and Blu-ray Looney Tunes shorts.[2]
