Information according to Greg Method. “The year 1991 ended with what was perhaps the most ambitious Looney Tunes home video project ever. Wanting to present as complete a picture of the history of the Warner Bros. cartoon studio as possible…

This #VideoWednesday we will look at the February 1991 releases of the Bugs Bunny Collection. #LooneyTunes #LooneyTwt
In each of these following four VHS tapes, one extra Bugs Bunny cartoon is listed at the back of the VHS cover, even though said Bugs Bunny cartoon is not included in said VHS release.
This was presumably due to a printing error. The mistake was initially corrected as the sixth cartoon in each of the videos were included in later shipments.

On this #VideoWednesday, we will cover the last three volumes in the “Classic Looney Tunes Cartoons!” collection released exclusively in the UK for Bugs Bunny's 50th birthday, "Elmer Fudd", "Daffy Duck, and "Bugs Bunny". #LooneyTunes #LooneyTwt
First up, Elmer Fudd. As a special tribute to the 50th birthday of that "wascally wabbit" Bugs Bunny, this compilation looks at one of Looney Tunes best loved characters; Elmer Fudd. (1/3)...
As the determined Hunter, Elmer is fair game for Bugs Bunny and no matter how hard he tries to trick the rabbit, the joke is always on Elmer Fudd. Pink and pudgy, Elmer is basically a likable guy. (2/3)...

On this very late #VideoWednesday, we will cover the next volume in the “Classic Looney Tunes Cartoons!” collection released exclusively in the UK for Bugs Bunny's 50th birthday, "Foghorn Leghorn". #LooneyTunes #LooneyTwt
To celebrate Bugs Bunny's 50th birthday, this collection of the best of Foghorn Leghorn brings together some classic cartoon comedy moments. Foghorn Leghorn rules, ah say rules, his roost with total self-assurance. (1/3)...
From his puffed out chest to high-stepping strut, he's a jaunty fellow with the gift of the gab. A lover of practical jokes, Foghorn Leghorn is usually pitted against the minuscule chicken hawk, Henery Hawk... (2/3)
