Preceded by	Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 5

Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 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 21, 2008.^[1]

Warner Home Video has announced that this will be the final release in the Golden Collection series.^[2] However, further Looney Tunes DVD releases beyond this are planned, one of which will be released in April 2010.^[3]

15 of the non-bonus cartoons (1/4 of all the non-bonus cartoons in total) featured in this set are in the public domain - more than any previous set. Cartoons on public domain tapes tended to be of poor quality, but these 15 cartoons have been restored for this particular release.

Like volumes 3, 4, and 5, volume 6 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). However, the warning on volume six states that the cartoon collection "is intended for adult collector and is not suitable for children" (as opposed to the "may not be suitable for children" warning on volumes 3-5) due to the collection's inclusion of World War II-era cartoons (most of which contain Nazi imagery and allusions to Hitler) and cartoons that contain racial/ethnic stereotypes and, in the case of Robert McKimson's "Wild Wife", sexism.
