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, it was released on October 30, 2007. ^[1]

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.

Notes

1. Friz Freleng was originally intended to direct the short, but refused to work on it as he was unsatisfied with the story. Though no director was officially credited, Hawley Pratt, Freleng's layout artist, would direct the short in his place. ^{[2] [3]}
2. Co-directed by Arthur Davis, though neither he nor Clampett are officially credited.
3. Co-directed by Tex Avery, though neither he nor Clampett are officially credited.
