Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4

Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4 is a DVD box set that was released by Warner Home Video on November 14, 2006. The fourth release of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD series, it contains 60 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical short subject cartoons, eight documentaries, 20 commentary tracks from animators and historians, 18 "vintage treasures from the vault", and 14 music-only or music-and-sound-effects audio tracks.
This is the first one where every disc in the collection has a special theme. Disc one is dedicated to Bugs Bunny. Disc two is devoted to cartoons directed by Frank Tashlin. Disc three is dedicated to Speedy Gonzales. Disc four features Sylvester, plus lesser known feline characters such as Conrad the Cat and Claude Cat, among others. Previous Golden Collections included at least one All-Stars disc with no common theme.
Like Volume 3, Volume 4 contains a warning about the politically incorrect humor and racial stereotypes in some of the cartoons, but unlike Volume 3's warning, which was a filmed introduction done by Whoopi Goldberg, Volume 4 simply presents a title card before the main menu with the following:
The Region 2 version contains only 53 shorts; 11 on Disc 2, and 14 on each of the others.

As with Volumes 1 and 2, the individual discs were released separately in Region 2:

In Australia, the stand-alone Best of Bugs Bunny, Volume 4 was released in 2008. It was the only disc to be released in that territory.
