This set was originally released as two different VHS sets under the name of Starring Bugs Bunny! and the titular name, which was later given a LaserDisc release that combines the two VHSes into a single LaserDisc with two sides. Side 1 of the LaserDisc includes shorts primarily from the VHS of the same name, while Side 2 contains a portion of the shorts from Starring Bugs Bunny! Overall, they contain a selection of Bugs Bunny shorts, all of which would be later released restored onto digital disc media.
The LaserDisc release has minor differences from the VHS releases. The VHS release of Starring Bugs Bunny! included "Hare Conditioned" as one of its cartoons, which was replaced with "Hair-Raising Hare" on the LaserDisc release. Additionally, "Hair-Raising Hare" was shifted over to side 1 of the LaserDisc, which was intended to represent the VHS of the same name which had all of the shorts on that side except for "Hair-Raising Hare". For some reason, side 2 ends with a SMPTE color bars test.

Collector's Recommendation Score
It is highly not recommended to get this set for collection's sake. It consists primarily of double dips shorts or inferior versions of the best available shorts, or is a cut down version of a bigger set that generally have the same cartoons. If this set is old, most of the shorts might have been updated to better versions. Getting this set is not worth its value compared to higher rated sets, and should be avoided for collector's purposes.
