Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1 is a Blu-ray Disc and DVD box set by Warner Home Video. It was released on November 15, 2011. It contains 50 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons and numerous supplements.[1][2][3] A DVD version of the box set was released on July 3, 2012, but contained no extras.[4]
All but seven cartoons included on this volume — Lovelorn Leghorn, The Hasty Hare, Hare-Way to the Stars, Bill of Hare, A Witch's Tangled Hare, Feline Frame-Up, and Boyhood Daze — had previously been restored as part of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Academy Awards Animation Collection, or as part of a Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD; of these seven, six are new to Blu-ray and DVD, while one (Boyhood Daze), had previously been included as an unrestored bonus cartoon on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6.
A second volume was released in 2012, and was followed by a third volume in 2014.
