Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 is a four-disc DVD box set collection of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. Following the pattern of one release each year of the previous volumes, it was released on October 21, 2008.[1]
Warner Home Video had announced that this will be the final release in the Golden Collection series.[2] Succeeding the Golden Collection series would be the Looney Tunes Super Stars series, which had its first two releases in August 2010.[3]
Fifteen of the non-bonus cartoons (1/4 of all the non-bonus cartoons in total) featured in this set are in the public domain - more than any previous set. Cartoons on public domain tapes tended to be of poor quality, but these 15 cartoons have been restored for this particular release.
Like volumes 3, 4, and 5, volume 6 has a warning before each disk about the shorts containing content that some viewers would not consider to be "politically correct" by today's standards (but will be shown uncut for historical reasons). However, the warning on volume six states that the cartoon collection "is intended for adult collector and is not suitable for children" (as opposed to the "may not be suitable for children" warning on volumes 3-5) due to the collection's inclusion of World War II-era cartoons (most of which contain Nazi imagery and allusions to Adolf Hitler) and cartoons that contain racial/ethnic stereotypes and, in the case of Robert McKimson's "Wild Wife," sexism.
This set was originally only released in North America due to poor sales of previous volumes in other territories. However, the discs in this volume were not region encoded, making it easy for collectors outside of North America to import and play this set. The set was released in the UK on 12 September 2011.[4]
