Unlike the previous Collector's Choice series - which only contained a single disc with 25 cartoons - Collector's Vault contains two discs with 50 cartoons. The first disc contains 24 shorts never-before-remastered on DVD or Blu-ray (and one double-dip), while the second disc contains 25 shorts previously released on DVD making their Blu-ray debut.

Volume 1 was released on June 17, 2025. [4] [5]

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 , which was previously released as part of Collector's Choice: Volume 4 , is also included on this set. According to Jerry Beck and George Feltenstein, this was a mistake; they apologized for its inclusion, and promised fans that the first disc of Volume 2 would include 26 cartoons to make up for the double dip. [6] [7]

Much like Collector's Choice: Volume 4, only three cartoons were specifically restored for this set: A Day at the Zoo , Of Fox and Hounds and Each Dawn I Crow . The remaining cartoons on disc one are all restorations previously done for HBO Max, with Warner Archive correcting the Photoshopped title cards. [8]

The second disc contains 25 cartoons previously restored and released on the various Looney Tunes Golden Collection and Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD sets, as well as The Essential Daffy Duck , but having not yet been released on Blu-ray. One cartoon, Tom Turk and Daffy , received new, improved color grading from its original release on the Looney Tunes Super Stars' Porky & Friends: Hilarious Ham DVD. [1] [8] The second disc of Collector's Vault did not carry over any of the audio commentaries and alternate audio tracks made for the Golden Collections. [5]

Volume 1 contains the following cartoons: [9]
