Looney Tunes The Collector's Edition is a fifteen-volume collectors' series of Looney Tunes videos first released in November 1999 by Warner Home Video. These videos were sent through the mail by Columbia House each month. The videos are listed in the order they were shipped when someone subscribed.

Since Turner was bought by Time Warner in 1996, all three packages of cartoons are in this set, enabling this VHS collection to offer a wider range of cartoons shorts, ranging from Warner Bros. Cartoons' heyday years to the modern revival years. The program was ended in October 2001.

Unlike previous Looney Tunes home video releases, except the LaserDisc releases, the black & white cartoons are presented in their said original presentation.

Each volume centered around a particular theme:

Vol. 1: All-stars, featuring a variety of characters

Vol. 2: Chuck Jones

Vol. 3: Mel Blanc

Vol. 4: Robert McKimson

Vol. 5: Musical cartoons

Vol. 6: Supporting characters

Vol. 7: Bob Clampett

Vol. 8: Tex Avery

Vol. 9: Friz Freleng

Vol. 10: Cartoons featuring dogs

Vol. 11: Bugs Bunny

Vol. 12: Porky Pig/Daffy Duck

Vol. 13: Cartoons featuring cats

Vol. 14: All-stars

Vol. 15: Cartoons featuring battles of wits
