Looney Tunes Super Stars is a series of Looney Tunes DVDs. So far, the series consists of:[1]
Wave One:
Wave Two:
The collection of the "Looney Tunes Super Stars" series is likely to expand, with possible releases on their way in the future, including ones for Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales and others. However, Warner Bros. has not made a clear decision to release the remaining Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies that include one-time-only characters. Although Super Stars is the semi-successor to the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, the true successor of the Golden Colleciton is Looney Tunes Platinum Collection, however, unlike the Platinum Collection, there will not be any special features in the Super Stars DVD Series. [8] However, the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection is only available on Blu-Ray. It is unknown when if there will be a DVD version release of the Platinum Collection.
The first two Looney Tunes Super Stars had released the majority the cartoons from the post-1953 era in a 1:85 widescreen format. Warner Bros. has stated the reason for this was because that's how the post-1953 cartoons were shown in theater, which made many collectors upset as cartoons were filmed in Academy ratio not widescreen. However, the Foghorn Leghorn DVD includes both the widescreen and the Academy Ratio of the cartoons on the same disc.[9]
On the Tweety and Sylvester: Feline Fwenzy DVD, all of the cartoons have been released previously on the Golden Collection series. The Foghorn Leghorn DVD includes all but one new-to-DVD releases. A Broken Leghorn had already been released on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1. On December 1, 2010, animation expert Jerry Beck explained on the Shokus Internet Radio call-in talk program, Stu's Show that Warner aimed this series not at collectors but at the mass market who expect it to fit on their widescreen TVs. He speculated that at some point down the road there will probably be a douple-dip release of those shorts in a collector's DVD version with the video in full-frame format. The sole Bugs Bunny DVD released in Europe is also an all-double dip.[10]
