Looney Tunes Collector's Vault: Volume 1 was released on June 17, 2025.[4] The first disc contains 24 shorts never-before-released on DVD or Blu-ray in restored form. In addition,Double or Mutton (1955), which was previously released as part ofCollector's Choice: Volume 4, is also included on this set. According toJerry Beck and George Feltenstein, this was a mistake; they apologized for its inclusion, and promised fans that the first disc ofVolume 2 would include 26 cartoons to make up for the double dip.[7][8]
Much likeCollector's Choice: Volume 4, only three cartoons were specifically restored for this set:A Day at the Zoo (1939),Of Fox and Hounds (1940) andEach Dawn I Crow (1949). The remaining cartoons on disc one are all restorations previously done forHBO Max, with Warner Archive correcting thePhotoshopped title cards.[9]
The second disc contains 25 cartoons previously restored and released on the variousLooney Tunes Golden Collection andLooney Tunes Super Stars DVD sets, as well asThe Essential Daffy Duck, but having not yet been released on Blu-ray. One cartoon,Tom Turk and Daffy (1944), received new, improved color grading from its original release on theLooney Tunes Super Stars' Porky & Friends: Hilarious Ham DVD.[1][9] The second disc ofCollector's Vault did not carry over any of theaudio commentaries and alternate audio tracks made for theGolden Collections.[5]
Volume 1 contains the following cartoons:[10]
