Beginning in November 2003, Warner Brothers Home Video followed the lead set by Disney's Treasures DVD box sets by releasing their own animation for the collector's market with the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD box sets. These box sets consist of 4 DVDs of about 60 restored and uncut classic WB cartoons in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series. The DVDs also feature several special features including audio commentaries, pencil tests, and interviews/documentaries of the people behind the cartoons such as Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Carl Stalling, and Mel Blanc.

• Volume 1 (released in November 2003) contains cartoons mostly from the 1950s with a smaller selection of shorts from the 1940s. Some favourites include "The Rabbit of Seville", "Duck Amuck" and "Drip-Along Daffy ". Volume 1 contains 56 cartoons, all in color.

• Volume 2 (released in November 2004) contains a broader selection of cartoons from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s including "What's Opera, Doc?", "One Froggy Evening", "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery ", and "I Love To Singa ". Volume 2 contains 60 cartoons: 58 color and 2 black & white.

Both released sets have been focused primarily on cartoons by directors Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng, although Volume 2 did pay tribute to Bob Clampett.

More Looney Tunes Golden Collection sets are anticipated in the future.

Along with the release of the Golden Collections, WB also released "Premiere Collections" which packaged only 2 of the DVDs from the Golden Collection.
