Controversies

This was one of two first Looney Tunes Super Stars that released the majority of some of the cartoons from the post-1953 era, 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 cartoons were filmed in Academy full-screened ratio, not widescreen.
