Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 is the sixth and final DVD box set in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series. It contains sixty cartoons, plus fifteen bonus shorts, making a total of seventy-five shorts in the set. It was released in October 2008.
Like other LTGC volumes beforehand, all cartoons in the set, including the contentious ones, are shown uncut for historical reasons. Unlike all other Looney DVD releases, the box art states that the release is "intended for the adult collector and is not suitable for children", as opposed to "may not be suitable for children", due to the volume having more controversial cartoons than other releases, some which are World War II cartoons. However, the 2020 jewel-case re-issue used the content warning from Volumes 3 to 5.
This set contains the most public domain cartoons of all the Golden Collection DVDs, having a total of fourteen public domain cartoons. It has the second largest number of public domain cartoons on this DVD set, just next to Porky Pig 101 from Warner Archive which came out nine years later.

Notes[]
- Two of the bonus cartoons appearing on this DVD set, "Sniffles Takes a Trip" on Disc 1 and "Hop and Go" on Disc 2, use unreleased stereo mixes of their soundtracks made by combining both their respective original soundtracks and recreated music-and-effects-only tracks. "Sniffles Takes a Trip" also has canned audio in both the opening and altered ending music cues, as well as the unaltered parts of the background music. Some of characters' dialogue volumes in both shorts has been decreased, making it hard for viewers to understand the lines the characters say.[1][2]
- The restored version of "Boyhood Daze", a bonus feature on Disc 1, is apparently sourced from a 1998 "dubbed" print, without the "dubbed" notice,[3] marking it the first and only time since Golden Collection Volume 1 where these 1998 restorations are used on the Golden Collection DVD series. This cartoon was later re-restored in HD for Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1 Blu-ray/DVD set in 2011.
