User:Tholden28/Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 9

Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 9 is a four-disc DVD box set collection of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. Following the pattern of one release each year of the previous volumes, it was released on October 26, 2013.

Four of the 60 cartoons are in the public domain. Cartoons on public domain tapes tended to be of poor quality, but these cartoons have been restored for this particular release.

Like volumes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, volume 9 has a warning before each disk about the shorts containing content that some viewers would not consider to be "politically correct" by today's standards (but will be shown uncut for historical reasons).

This set was originally only released in North America due to poor sales of previous volumes in other territories. However, the discs in this volume were not region encoded, making it easy for collectors outside of North America to import and play this set.
