Notes on set
Despite not including racial stereotyping on this set, The Chuck Jones Collection was given a description as it states "suitable for the adult collectors" possibly due to the high speed flashing effects that occurred in short The Mouse from H.U.N.G.E.R., which had since been rarely seen in reruns. This set was released in Europe, using the same contents as the Region 1 version.
