In Australia, the PD label boom hit around 2003 here as various budget labels got a kick-start by issuing various PD "classic" films and of course, PD cartoons.

According to Screen Australia, Payless's "Cartoon Mega-Stars" series sold extremely well, with the Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck "and friends" releases making the the top 10 most-sold children's titles of 2003. The Porky Pig ones even had some 70s colourised versions!

Flashback went a step further: Their "Cartoon Classics" series contained pre-1948 shorts [even those in copyright] and pre-1948 Looney Tunes shorts only. No ring titles included. When they were reissued in 2005 with new cover art and as a 4-disc set with all 12 volumes [excluding the Superman one], the 4-disc set hit the top 5 most sold titles.

Magna Pacific did what Flashback did, but mixed in other Aussie-skewing shorts like the Pink Panther into them.

Most other ones issued the bare-minimum PD Looney Tunes shorts so they're not worth mentioning.

I think i have a collection of Australian Public Domain cartoon DVDs at home. They were made by Flashback Entertainment with the post-1948 Looney Tunes cartoons, and the others made by Payless Entertainment in the Cartoon Mega Stars collection. They appeared to be low budget DVDs which only cost 1 dollar in Australian thrift shops, and family run department stores all over Australia. However there were several other public domain videos in Australia including Pink Panther and Tom and Jerry cartoons that are public domain as well. Isn't it just weird to have Pink panther cartoons on public domain releases? Imagine how weird if there would've been Pink Panther public domain VHS releases in England like the ComicToons video label way back in the early 90's?
