Looney Tunes Super Stars was a series of single-disc Looney Tunes cartoon compilations released on DVD from August 2010 to April 2013.
Releases[]
The series was intended to expand to include Yosemite Sam, Speedy Gonzales, Elmer J. Fudd, and other compilations. On December 14, 2012, Jerry Beck stated on Stu's Show that he would be picking some cartoons for the future of the Looney Tunes Superstars line. However, due to no more restoration budget to restore more never-before-released on DVD Looney Tunes cartoons in 2014, the Looney Tunes Superstars line came to an abrupt end, with Marsupial Mayhem being the last volume released.
Controversy[]
Collectors were upset to find that all post-1953 cartoons from the first two Looney Tunes Superstars collections (Hare Extraordinaire and Frustrated Fowl) were presented in widescreen format instead of Academy ratio. As a result of these complaints, later volumes presented their cartoons in both formats. However, the Porky & Friends and Sylvester and Hippety Hopper DVDs only contain full screen versions of the cartoons.
Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1 presents Ducking the Devil, Dr. Devil and Mr. Hare, and Mad as a Mars Hare in their original Academy aspect ratio, and the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection Blu-ray presents Lumber Jack-Rabbit, This is a Life?, Napoleon Bunny-part, People are Bunny, From Hare to Heir, The Million Hare, and False Hare in their original aspect ratios. Restored prints of several other cartoons from the Hare Extraordinaire and Frustrated Fowl DVDs have been broadcast in full screen on Boomerang feeds in Europe, though they have yet to be released on DVD or Blu-ray. But with the Super Stars Series having officially ended, it is currently unknown whether or not the other cartoons from the Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck releases will be restored to full screen.
