Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection
Looney Tunes: Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection is a box-set of 60 remastered cartoons on Blu-ray discs that was released December 1, 2020. It includes 3 Blu-ray discs and a digital copy is included in the purchasing of the physical copy. Packaging includes a slip book, booklet, and a Bugs Bunny Funko! Pop figure.[1]
It includes twenty cartoons that had been out before but is considered “essential”, as they are generally considered some of Bugs Bunny’s best cartoons. An additional forty cartoons that were either never remastered or not released in the proper academy aspect ratio are also in the collection, some of which were already released on HBO Max earlier that year. The collection spans from the early Bugs Bunny cartoons to the very end of Bugs' tenure. The set also includes 10 episodes of Looney Tunes Cartoons all starring Bugs Bunny.
The set is filled with special features and commentaries. Animation historian Jerry Beck teased that fans who own previous collections now own ninety percent of Bugs Bunny's filmography.[2]
