Warner Bros. Cartoons Golden Jubilee 24 Karat Collection is a VHS Series of Looney Tunes videotapes released by Warner Home Video, released from October 7, 1985[1] to 1992. It was the first VHS series in which black-and-white cartoons were featured in their original presentation (and the only such series until the Looney Tunes: The Collector's Edition VHS tapes). It would also be the only VHS series in which Foghorn Leghorn, Pepé Le Pew, and Speedy Gonzales would be honored with their own videotapes (though Foghorn and Pepe eventually got their own installments in the Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD series in the early 2010s).
Most of these cartoons have already been restored on DVD and Blu-ray, but the rest of the cartoons that have not been added to DVD and Blu-ray are still unrestored.

Notes
- Each tape begins with a newly animated sequence in which the police are chasing the Tasmanian Devil on a motorcycle. Taz drives his bike through a theater in which Bugs, Daffy, and Porky are on stage with many characters marching across the stage behind them, akin to the beginning of The Bugs Bunny Show (complete with a few instrumental bars of "This Is It" accompanying the scene). The animated sequence ends with a red-and-white WB shield emerging as Taz drives through the scene.
- Ironically, Taz did not get his own tape for this series despite appearing in these sequences.
- Some prints of the cartoons in these videos are time-compressed (sped-up from their original speed). These titles include "You Ought to Be in Pictures", "The Wearing of the Grin", and "Dough for the Do-Do" on the Porky Pig tape and "Porky's Duck Hunt" on the Daffy Duck tape. The reason behind the time compression for these four cartoons are due to space restrictions in the VHS tapes at the time, especially due to the longer running time for "You Ought to Be in Pictures" (9 minutes 45 seconds) and "Porky's Duck Hunt" (8 minutes 50 seconds).
