Notes[]
- Most of the contents in this DVD were previously released on other DVDs, with all the cartoons on the first disc previously released on Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVDs.
- "Rabbit of Seville", which had low-pitch audio on Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 DVD release, has its original normal pitch corrected on this DVD, although it retains its incorrect low pitch as in Golden Collection Volume 1 on Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1 for Blu-ray/DVD.
- "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers", which had the Yosemite Sam sequences cut for its release on the Space Jam two-disc DVD set due to "time allotment", has been presented uncut for the first time on this DVD.
- Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection was originally intended to be a Blu-ray release of The Essential Bugs Bunny with a Funko! POP figure included for collectors. At the advice of Jerry Beck, it was expanded to include cartoons previously unreleased to modern home video.[1]
