AOLTC Title Card

Title card used for the August 1992 and February-March 1993 releases

Authentic and Original Looney Tunes Cartoons was the fourth Looney Tunes home video collection from Warner Home Video. It debuted on August 12, 1992 and ended on May 18, 1994. It also marked the LaserDisc debuts for the Warner Bros.-owned post-1948 Looney Tunes cartoon shorts.

August 1992 releases[]

This wave released on August 12, 1992 is also referred to as the "movie title parody series". It was the first to honor Yosemite Sam with his own videotape. It was also the first to include the recent computer colorized Looney Tunes cartoons.

The cover of each tape features the star of the video within the trademark Looney Tunes color rings and a golden film strip containing the Warner Bros. shield in the middle below it. The title of each video was a parody of a well-known motion picture. Also included on the front of each box was a "quote" from a fellow Looney Tunes character.

The tapes feature the same opening from the Cartoon Cavalcade tapes from 1988 except the original WB shield graphic is replaced by the Authentic and Original Looney Tunes Cartoons logo despite not being featured on the tape covers.
