How to number cartoons in an anthology collection

@bderoes​ : My reason for wanting to do this was I have my own home Plex server, and wanted to be able to view all these cartoons in there, as I do with movies and TV series, but these cartoon shorts were something of a quandry as to how to mix them in.

I see from your list that they may all exist as standalone titles, which just means I need to name the ripped files appropriately (example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038333/?ref_=ttls_li_tt) I would need to name the file "Baseball Bugs (1946) DVD.mkv"

Do I understand this all correctly?

@Ricker42​ 

Yes, all the toons should exist as separate titles, because that's how they were initially released. I haven't checked lately to see if they have been inappropriately merged elsewhere (which has happened to toons/titles from time to time). Perhaps you can report back here if you don't find one/some, or find it as an episode instead of as an independent title.

I hope a staff member will reply to this thread about all the titles that I think should be removed (the dvd collection titles).

Thanks @Michelle .  I'm slowlying going through my ripped collection and using the standalone movie info to appropriately name my files, and Plex is dealing with them fine.

I'd recommend finding and removing the "movie" entries in IMDB that are for the DVD collections to help others in the future.  One such entry is here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26743903

@Michelle​ Regarding this idea: "If there is a series banner that later screened the film as an episode, we can list the cartoon title as an episode but this would be a shell-episode (mostly empty except for release date), and all the primary title information would display on the original standalone title page."

Please keep in mind that, at least in the USA, television series episodes tend to be 30 or 60 minutes long including commercials, whereas these Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons averaged about 7 minutes long. Thus, a TV series that focused on broadcasting these cartoons would typically include at least 3 different cartoons in each episode, and it would usually be inaccurate for a single cartoon to constitute a shell episode.

Hi @Ricker42​ -

My apologies for the delayed response.  The series title you reported has now been removed.  Cheers!
