Looney Tunes Super Stars' Foghorn Leghorn & Friends: Barnyard Bigmouth is a DVD of eight new-to-DVD Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, one previously-on-DVD Foghorn cartoon, and six additional new-to-DVD cartoons that was released on November 30, 2010. Unlike previous Super Stars discs, the disc not only contains the matted-widescreen versions of the cartoons, but the original fullscreen versions as well.
Looney Tunes Super Stars' Tweety & Sylvester: Feline Fwenzy is a DVD of 15 Sylvester and Tweety cartoons that was released on November 30, 2010. Unlike the previous Super Stars discs, this disc features 15 cartoons that were previously on the Golden Collection sets as the new plan for the Super Stars volumes is one with new-to-DVD cartoons and one with previously-on-DVD cartoons. The reason for the double-dip release in each wave is so the Warner Home Video department can pay back for the remastering of other restorations. Also, unlike the previous Super Stars discs, the cartoons are presented in original full screen.
Looney Tunes Super Stars' Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote: Supergenius Hijinks is a DVD containing 15 Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons which was released on October 4, 2011.

Like the Sylvester & Tweety: Feline Fwenzy disc, this disc features 15 cartoons that were previously on the Golden Collection sets as the new plan for the Super Stars volumes is one with new-to-DVD cartoons and one with previously-on-DVD cartoons. The reason for the double-dip release in each wave is so the Warner Home Video department can pay back for the remastering of other restorations. Also, unlike the previous Super Stars discs, the cartoons are presented in original fullscreen.
Looney Tunes Super Stars' Porky & Friends: Hilarious Ham is a DVD featuring 18 cartoons, with most of them featuring Porky Pig. 16 of the shorts are new to DVD, while two were previously available in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection.
