All of the Looney Tunes Presents videos except for Taz's Jungle Jams

Looney Tunes Presents was the last collection of Looney Tunes videos, released 21 July 1998 on the VHS format by Warner Home Video. It was the first from Warner Bros. to feature the pre-1948 Warner cartoon library on the same tapes as post-48 cartoons (since Turner and Time Warner merged in 1996).

Due to the fact that Warner planned to promote this series the "next generation" of Looney Tunes videos, nearly every previous Warner Home Video and every MGM/UA Home Video release was discontinued in 1999.

This was also the first Looney Tunes video compilation to use the new Warner Home Video logo introduced in 1996, which would continue to be used until 2016.

Notes[]

  • The video Taz's Jungle Jams was originally scheduled to include "Bushy Hare", "The Lion's Busy", and "Nelly's Folly", but the contents were changed shortly before release.[1]
  • The pre-1948 shorts used in each tape are Turner "dubbed versions", which were used again for Looney Tunes: The Collectors Edition VHS tapes by Columbia House.
  • Post-1948 shorts that have WB 1997/1998 dubbed version prints (a.k.a. THIS VERSION 1997/1998) prints are presented as dubbed versions as seen on the European VHS tapes, albeit without the dubbed disclaimer on the preserved original ending cards. These "dubbed" prints without the dubbed disclaimer were used again for Looney Tunes: The Collectors Edition VHS tapes by Columbia House.
  • Unlike most unrestored post-1948 shorts without THIS VERSION 1997/1998 dubbed versions, which tend to use 1988 Warner Home Video remasters (a.k.a. LaserDisc prints), "Tweet and Lovely" is presented on the Tweety: Tweet and Lovely as the very faded Golden Jubilee tape transfer from 1986.
  • Much like the Stars of Space Jam: Tweety and Sylvester VHS release and then-current TV airings, "Snow Business" is presented with the altered 1959-1960 MM ending card on the Tweety: Home Tweet Home VHS release.
  • The pre-1948 shorts appear less than the post-1948 shorts in tapes having a mixture of cartoons from the pre-1948 and post-1948 eras.
  • The Bugs Bunny and Tweety tapes include picture frames on the back of the cover. Inside each case is a little savings booklet for Warner Bros. Century 2000.
