Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 3 Explained

Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 3 is a Blu-ray and DVD release by Warner Home Video. It contains 50 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons and numerous supplements. It was released on Blu-ray on August 12, 2014,[1] and was released on DVD on November 4, 2014.[2]

As per Jerry Beck's remarks during an episode of Stu's Show, it was indicated that Volume 3 would likely serve as the final installment of the series. This decision stemmed from the diminished sales figures of the Volume 2 in 2012 and the absence of a budget allocated by Warner Bros. for remastering the four films that had not been previously released on DVD and Blu-ray. Notably, the Blu-ray edition of this volume comprises only two discs, a departure from prior releases. A 12-page booklet akin to the one accompanying Volume 2 is included.[3]

All cartoons released in this set are either an Academy Award winner or nominee or listed in Jerry Beck's 100 Greatest Looney Tunes book released in 2010.
