Cartoon Moviestars is a VHS collection of Looney Tunes cartoons released by MGM/UA Home Video from 1988 to 1990. Also released in the series were the TV specials "Bugs & Daffy: The Wartime Cartoons" and "Cartoons for Big Kids".

Eight of the VHS releases were later re-released on LaserDisc, with the Bugs and Elmer volumes as well as the Porky and Daffy volumes taking up each side of two LaserDisc releases and the remaining three videos being issued on their own.

Unlike the previous MGM video releases, these cartoons are derived from the original Associated Artists Productions material. These cartoons also had different color borders around the opening and closing titles, and the masters would later appear on the first four volumes of the The Golden Age of Looney Tunes LaserDisc series.
