Although Super Stars is the semi-successor to the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, the true successor of the Golden Collection is the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection. However, unlike the Platinum Collection, there are no special features in the Super Stars series. While other volumes were planned, no further releases were made after 2013. The Pepe Le Pew: Zee Best of Zee Best and the Sylvester and Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem DVDs are now the only home media releases from Warner Bros. to have a major Looney Tunes character's entire filmography featured.

''Foghorn Leghorn & Friends: Barnyard Bigmouth''

Looney Tunes Super Stars' Foghorn Leghorn & Friends: Barnyard Bigmouth 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.

''Sylvester & Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem''

Looney Tunes Super Stars' Sylvester & Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem is a DVD featuring 18 newly remastered cartoons. It is the final release in the Super Star series, due to poor sales of Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 2 and the depletion of the remastering budget for new-to-DVD Looney Tunes shorts. This release features all 18 of Sylvester's pairings with Hippety Hopper and/or his son, Sylvester Jr. The DVD was released on April 23, 2013.
All cartoons in this collection star Sylvester, and co-star either Hippety Hopper and/or Sylvester Jr. All are directed by Robert McKimson, except for Goldimouse and the Three Cats, which was directed by Friz Freleng.

Reception

The first two Looney Tunes Super Stars sets had released the majority the cartoons from the post-1953 era in a 1:85 widescreen format. Warner Bros. has stated the reason for this was because that is how the post-1953 cartoons were shown in theaters, though the cartoons were filmed in Academy ratio, not widescreen at that time. On December 1, 2010, animation expert Jerry Beck explained on the Shokus Internet Radio call-in talk program, Stu's Show that Warner aimed this series, not at collectors, but at the mass market who expect it to fit on their widescreen TVs. He speculated that at some point down the road there would probably be a double-dip release of those shorts in a collector's DVD version with the video in full-frame format. However, the Foghorn Leghorn DVD includes both the widescreen and the Academy ratio of the cartoons on the same disc and further releases provide only fullscreen viewing.
On the Tweety and Sylvester: Feline Fwenzy and Bugs Bunny: Wascally Wabbit DVDs, all of the cartoons have been released previously on the Golden Collection series, much to the disappointment of fans.
With the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote: Supergenius Hijinks DVD, some collectors were disappointed that the set focused on the less well-received DFE-era Coyote/Road Runner cartoons and lacked Chuck Jones' Coyote/Road Runner cartoons from the Pre-1964 "classic" era.
