What Makes "Volume 1" Legendary?

When Platinum Collection Vol. 1 dropped on Blu-ray on November 15, 2011, it was a revelation. For the first time, the "Censored Eleven" aside, Warner Bros. treated these cartoons like the cinematic masterpieces they are.

The 19 shorts included in Volume 1 are:

Reception and Legacy

  • Awards: Nominated for a 2012 Home Media Magazine Award for Best Blu-ray Disc.
  • Critical acclaim: DVDTalk rated it 5/5, calling it “the definitive Looney Tunes collection for the HD era.” IGN praised the “reference-quality restoration.”
  • Controversy: Omission of shorts like Fresh Airedale (1945) and the “Censored Eleven” drew criticism from completionists, but Warner cited “cultural sensitivity and space constraints.”

  • Volume 2 (2012): Excellent. Features The Scarlet Pumpernickel, Feed the Kitty, and more Road Runner. However, it repeats a few cartoons from the Golden Collection DVDs. Essential, but the curation is slightly less "top heavy" than Vol 1.
  • Volume 3 (2014): The forgotten stepchild. Still great, but by Volume 3, the truly essential classics had already been plucked. It focuses heavily on late-50s and early-60s shorts (The Three Bears, Speedy Gonzales).
  • The Verdict: If you buy only one, buy Volume 1. It is the "Best of" compilation that actually lives up to the title.
