The set features 65 newly remastered shorts, while 36 of them are previously restored transfers
According to Beck, production on the set started in 2012,
Porky Pig 101 received mixed reviews from animation fans and collectors, who tended to praise the complete and chronological nature of the set - featuring rare never before released shorts, and presenting them uncut and in their original black and white format[6][7] - but also criticised the restoration quality; noting several splices, dirt, brightness and contrast issues - and overall feeling it lacked the pristine image quality of the cartoons restored for the Golden and Platinum collections.[5]
Porky Pig 101 was a modest financial success,[8] and led Warner Archive to release more classic theatrical animated content as single-disc Blu-ray sets, such as Popeye the Sailor: The 1940s, Tex Avery Screwball Classics and Looney Tunes Collector's Choice, all of which garnered a much more positive fan reception.
