Cover for Volume 2.

I Love Tweety is a Japan-exclusive DVD series consisting of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical shorts starring Tweety Bird. They were released by Warner Bros. in 2001, spanning three volumes in total. Each volume contains eleven shorts per DVD disc.

Most of the shorts on each volume feature Sylvester and Tweety. The Tweety cartoons used in the DVDs are the same as the I Love You! Tweety VHS tapes released in Japan the previous year; though, unlike that collection, a single Bugs Bunny short is also included on every volume as a bonus feature.

Behind the scenes

  • All cartoons listed on this disc are in the post-1948 Warner Bros. package.
  • On each volume, there is an option on the main menu to either play the Japanese dubbing of the shorts or the original English soundtracks.
  • Some restored prints on this set, or 1997 and 1998 prints, never made it to American official collections such as the Looney Tunes Golden Collection or the Platinum Collection, despite being available later for those sets.
  • All of the Tweety cartoons were restored and remastered for this series. The three bonus Bugs Bunny cartoons-"Water, Water Every Hare", "Baton Bunny" and "Bully for Bugs"-are presented in their 1998 prints. However, all the cartoons on this set, including the cartoons with 1998 prints included, were restored only for standard definition.
    • The restorations available on these disks were affected with DVNR (digital video noise reduction) artifacts present, which distorted a few frames of these prints. Despite this, the DVD series marks one of the earliest attempts to restore cartoons for a DVD release, aiming to present the cartoons as closely to the original theatrical release as possible.
    • The majority of these cartoons have either made it onto the Golden Collection, the Super Stars series, the Platinum Collection, or the Collector's Choice series. Most of the cartoons have also been re-restored later for HBO Max and MeTV in high definition without DVNR artifacts.
