Controversies

This was one of two first Looney Tunes Super Stars that released the majority of some of the cartoons but in a 1:85 widescreen format. Warner Bros. has stated the reason for this was because that was how the post-1953 cartoons were shown in theaters, which made many collectors upset as they were filmed in Academy full-screened ratio, not widescreen.

In 2011 Bedevilled Rabbit, Mad as a Mars Hare and Dr. Devil and Mr. Hare were re-released as part of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1 DVD and Blu-Ray set presenting them in their original 4:3 aspect ratios. In 2020 Lumber Jack-Rabbit, Napoleon Bunny-Part, From Hare to Heir, The Million Hare and False Hare were included as part of the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection Blu-Ray set, and were once again presented in their original 4:3 aspect ratios. Lighter Than Hare was re-released in its correct 4:3 aspect ratio as part of the Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 4 Blu-Ray set in 2024.
