The very first release of the Super Stars series appears to largely be a bumpy start. In an attempt to appeal to family markets and "HD supporters", a good fraction of the shorts are cropped. This unfortunately leaves about 5 shorts that managed to make it untempered, which makes it a hard sell for the more hardcore collector. On the bright side, they all make their restored disc debuts here.

Even more rebuffing to collectors at the time was that before the official listing of the set was announced, a prototypical list was accidentally leaked that points out that a different set of cartoons was intended to appear on the set - many of which are deemed superior choices depending on who you ask. The planned selection included the following, with any axed being underlined.

• No Parking Hare
• Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk
• Hold the Lion, Please
• What's Cookin' Doc?
• Which is Witch
• Mutiny on the Bunny
• Bushy Hare
• Hare We Go
• Rabbit Every Monday
• The Fair Haired Hare
• Foxy By Proxy
• Hare Lift
• Upswept Hare
• Hare Trimmed
• Robot Rabbit

So, what actually happened? The long story short was that the set was announced for a release on April 27th, 2010, and such a deadline could not be met in time. With the vast majority of these early shorts being a bit too detailed for the restoration team, all but five were swapped out with the more basic shorts from the post-shutdown era, as the amount of 1960s shorts hints. Additionally, it became apparent that in order to attract families more than the common collector, shorts from the original lineup wouldn't fit well when children and casual viewers would prefer seeing shorts with the more familiar pair-ups, particularly with Taz and Marvin the Martian. Not to mention that "Which is Witch" and "What's Cookin' Doc?", two members of the Twelve Missing Hares, likely wouldn't be taken very well by children for racially insensitive humor. Out went those ten shorts, and in went ten different and more basic shorts that, depending on who you ask, is a weaker selection than before.

The uncropped shorts included are primarily a few shorts that were overlooked in the Golden Collection, with notably "Hare Trimmed" being included as one of the more trademark shorts that aired on television networks and was even present in artwork for the Golden Collection despite not being actually included. The highlight of the cropped shorts is primarily from "Lumber Jack-Rabbit", which was originally produced in 3D but was re-released a year later in 2D. Even though this particular pre-shutdown short was not formatted for widescreen, Warner Home Video attempted to make do by keeping the titles in their fullscreen resolution, but the cartoon itself was cropped. Another such highlight is Bugs' final cartoon in the Golden Age, "False Hare".

In retrospect, the original lineup was given a bit of justice by having all the axed shorts except "Which is Witch" pop up on the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection. The cropped shorts slowly got corrected over time; having the aforementioned Bugs Blu-ray, volume 4 of Collector's Choice, and all of the Platinum Collection clears all of the cropped shorts in HD except for "Apes of Wrath", which is also obtainable uncropped in a few later DVD sets starting with the DVD reissue of Stars of Space Jam.
