The Super Stars series draws to a close with another full-fledged release that actually completes the filmographies of two minor characters: Hippety Hopper and Sylvester's son, Sylvester Junior. Despite being an unceremonious end for the series by fans, in retrospect it ends up being one of the more favorable additions to any complete collection.
Included are all eighteen shorts that feature either Sylvester Junior and/or Hippety Hopper. Notably, it restores the original titles for nearly all the shorts that had them replaced, with only "Who's Kitten Who?" still retaining its reissue titles. The result is a surprisingly well thought out release that had some questioning why this practice wasn't done since the start of the series.
This marked the actual end of any restoration efforts for the DVD format, as all later restorations were implemented in the Blu-ray format (although some restorations of such were later ported to DVD). With more people opting for HD media, especially in the turn of the 2020s, DVD sales for the series began to decline, and this release could be seen as its last hurrah before the DVD side primarily resorted to double dips.

It is highly recommended to get this set for collection's sake, as it currently contains the best versions of the cartoons included on the set with minimal double dips. Most of the shorts featured on the set has yet to be upgraded to a better version or is in their best possible version if they're restored in HD.
