Looney Tunes Super Stars' Bugs Bunny: Wascally Wabbit is a DVD of fifteen Bugs Bunny cartoons that was released 4 May 2011 (in Region 2 & 4).[1] Like Looney Tunes Super Stars' Tweety & Sylvester: Feline Fwenzy, this set features fifteen cartoons that were previously on the Golden Collection sets, as the new plan for the Super Stars volumes was one with new-to-DVD cartoons and one with previously-on-DVD cartoons. The reason for the double-dip release in each wave was so the Warner Home Video department can pay back for the remastering of other restorations.[2] Also, unlike the previous Super Stars discs, the cartoons are presented in original full screen.

Trivia[]
- In the Region 2 release, "Rabbit Fire", "Baton Bunny", "Rabbit of Seville", and "Big Top Bunny" are replaced respectively by "Buckaroo Bugs", "Hurdy-Gurdy Hare", "Hare Tonic", and "Acrobatty Bunny". These shorts were also previously released in the Golden Collection series.
- This is the only Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD set that is unavailable in Region 1, as it was only released in Regions 2 and 4.
- "Ballot Box Bunny" on Region 2 (PAL) was released with 1998 "Dubbed Version" print instead of using newer remastered transfer for Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1.
- "Rabbit's Kin" on Region 2 (PAL) was released with 1997 "Dubbed Version" print instead of using newer remastered transfer for Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1.
Controversy[]
Because the DVD contained only previously-released shorts from the Golden Collections much like Looney Tunes Super Stars' Tweety & Sylvester: Feline Fwenzy, collectors were advised to stay away from this set.
