Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 5 is a Looney Tunes collection on DVD. Following the pattern of one release each year of the previous volumes of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, it was released on October 30, 2007.Release and content information:
The four discs in this collection are devoted to themes and subjects the cartoons in each disc have in common. The first disc consists entirely of cartoons starring the two top stars of Warner cartoons, Bugs Bunny and/or Daffy Duck. The second disc consists entirely of cartoons which lampoon fairy tales. The third disc consists entirely of cartoons either directed or co-directed by Bob Clampett. The fourth disc titled "Early Daze" features rarely seen cartoons from the 1930s and early 1940s which were made in black-and-white.
Continuing a pattern which began with Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 3, the DVD set has a warning in the beginning of each disc that states that some of the cartoons contain ethnic and racial stereotypes that may be offensive to modern audiences; however, like the fourth volume, the warning is shown on a title card rather than done as a special introduction.
Disc 1: Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck In previous installments of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Disc 1 contained Bugs Bunny-centric cartoons. Disc 1 in this volume, however, contains cartoons featuring Daffy Duck as well. #TitleBugs, Daffy, or Both?Co-StarsDirectorYearSeries114 Carrot RabbitBugsSamFriz Freleng1952LT2Ali Baba BunnyBothN/AChuck Jones1957MM3Buccaneer BunnyBugsSamFriz Freleng1948LT4Bugs' BonnetsBugsElmerChuck Jones1956MM5A Star Is BoredBothElmer, SamFriz Freleng1956LT6A Pest in the HouseDaffyElmerChuck Jones1947MM7Transylvania 6-5000BugsCount BloodcountChuck Jones, Maurice Noble1963MM8Oily HareBugsN/ARobert McKimson1952MM9Stupor DuckDaffyN/ARobert McKimson1956LT10The Stupor SalesmanDaffy Slug McSlugArthur Davis1948LT11The Abominable Snow RabbitBothHugoChuck Jones, Maurice Noble1961LT12The Super SnooperDaffyShapely Lady DuckRobert McKimson1952LT13The Up-Standing SitterDaffyHectorRobert McKimson1948LT14Hollywood DaffyDaffyN/AHawley Pratt1946MM15You Were Never DuckierDaffyHeneryChuck Jones1948MM
