Looney Tunes Super Stars is a series of nine Looney Tunes DVDs consisting of two Bugs Bunny DVDs and other characters who got their own collections. It started on August 10, 2010, and ran until April 23, 2013. The series consists of:[1]

Although Super Stars is the semi-successor to the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, the true successor of the Golden Collection is the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection. However, unlike the Platinum Collection, there are no special features in the Super Stars series. While other volumes were planned, no further releases were made after 2013.[8] The Pepe Le Pew: Zee Best of Zee Best and the Sylvester and Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem DVDs are now the only home media releases from Warner Bros. to have a major Looney Tunes character's (and two minor Looney Tunes characters') entire filmography featured.

The first two Looney Tunes Super Stars sets (Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire and Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl) 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 is how the post-1953 cartoons were shown in theaters, though the cartoons were filmed in Academy ratio, not widescreen at that time. 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. However, the Foghorn Leghorn DVD includes both the widescreen and the Academy ratio of the cartoons on the same disc and further releases provide only fullscreen viewing.[18]
On the Tweety and Sylvester: Feline Fwenzy and Bugs Bunny: Wascally Wabbit DVDs, all of the cartoons have been released previously on the Golden Collection series, much to the disappointment of fans.[19]
With the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote: Supergenius Hijinks DVD, some collectors were disappointed that the set focused on the less well-received DFE-era Coyote/Road Runner cartoons (particularly the Rudy Larriva-directed ones) and lacked Chuck Jones' Coyote/Road Runner cartoons from the Pre-1964 "classic" era.
