Authentic and Original Looney Tunes Cartoons

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.

Notes

• The cartoons featured on the film strips during the opening sequence used for the 1992 VHS tapes and the 1993 laserdiscs were originally released on the Golden Jubilee tapes, and therefore use the exact same transfers as those aforementioned tapes. These are "The Leghorn Blows at Midnight", "Speedy Gonzales", "Duck! Rabbit, Duck!", "The Scarlet Pumpernickel", "Fast and Furry-ous", "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century", "Tweet and Lovely", "High Diving Hare", "Boobs in the Woods", "For Scent-imental Reasons", "Bedevilled Rabbit", "Rabbit Seasoning", "The Hypo-Chondri-Cat", "Ali Baba Bunny", "Show Biz Bugs", "Drip-Along Daffy", "What's Opera, Doc?", "The Pied Piper of Guadalupe", "Birds Anonymous", "Canned Feud" and "Greedy for Tweety".
  • Ironically, "Tweet and Lovely", "The Leghorn Blows at Midnight", "Speedy Gonzales", "For Scent-imental Reasons" and "The Pied Piper of Guadalupe" are not included on any of the videos in this collection, while all the remainder shorts are included in all the LaserDisc releases, albeit upgraded to the newer videotape transfers from the late-1980s/early-1990s which looked far superior, as opposed to reusing the same transfers from the Golden Jubilee tapes these clips came from.
• Some of the cartoons released on VHS in this collection also reappeared on the LaserDisc releases as well. The shorts from the VHS tapes that didn't make it on the LaserDiscs include "Dr. Devil and Mr. Hare", "Wideo Wabbit", "Wise Quackers", "The Impatient Patient", "Porky & Daffy", "Porky's Party", "Patient Porky", "Rabbit's Feat", "Tweet and Sour", "Tweet Tweet Tweety", "Home, Tweet Home", "Honey's Money", "Wild and Woolly Hare", "Each Dawn I Crow", "Upswept Hare", "Hip Hip- Hurry!", "Southern Fried Rabbit", "This Is a Life?", "Muzzle Tough", "A Street Cat Named Sylvester", "Satan's Waitin'", "Dr. Jerkyl's Hide", and "Ain't She Tweet".
• Six of the shorts have certain minor goofs in their presentations on the LaserDisc releases;
  • "Nelly's Folly" on Looney Tunes: Curtain Calls LaserDisc release has a slide after the "THE END" that read: "Merrie Melodies: A Warner Bros. Cartoon. A Vitaphone Release" is cut, ending straight after the "THE END" title card, for unknown reasons, presumably due to time constraints (as LaserDiscs can hold only up to two hours of content, one on each side). This aforementioned ending card is kept intact on TV airings.
  • "14 Carrot Rabbit" on Bugs Bunny: Hare Beyond Compare: 14 More Bugs Bunny Classics LaserDisc release uses the incorrect 1955-1964 Looney Tunes closing theme instead of the correct 1946-1955 Looney Tunes closing theme on the original ending card. The original ending music cue is kept intact on TV airings.
  • "Beanstalk Bunny" on Bugs Bunny: Hare Beyond Compare: 14 More Bugs Bunny Classics LaserDisc release uses the incorrect 1955-1964 Merrie Melodies opening theme instead of the correct 1945-1955 Merrie Melodies opening theme.
  • "Operation: Rabbit" on Road Runner Vs. Wile E. Coyote: If At First You Don't Succeed... LaserDisc release has the correct 1946-1955 Looney Tunes opening and ending music cues replaced by the incorrect 1955-1964 renditions of the same cues. The original opening and ending music cues of this cartoon's same video transfer are on both the Chariots of Fur VHS tape and on TV airings, albeit with notable audio splices in both the opening and closing soundtracks.
  • Both "Boston Quackie" and "The Duxorcist" on Guffaw and Order: Looney Tunes Fight Crime and Looney Tunes After Dark LaserDisc releases respectively use the incorrect 1946-1955 Looney Tunes opening theme instead of the correct 1955-1964 Looney Tunes opening theme, even though this error is already present on every other earlier and later prints of both cartoons.
  • "The Duxorcist" on Looney Tunes After Dark LaserDisc has the end credits after the "That's all, Folks!" ending card cut, presumably due to time constraints (as LaserDiscs can hold only up to two hours of content, one on each side). On TV airings as well as DVD releases, the end credits are kept intact.
