All shorts are presented uncensored and uncut, but 10 of the 15 shorts (marked with a "^") are cropped to widescreen, which angered most collectors. However, 3 of the 10 widescreen shorts (marked with a "#") are restored in fullscreen in Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1, which pleased most collectors. There are no special features or extras.[2]

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's how the post-1953 cartoons were shown in theater, which made many collectors upset as cartoons were filmed in Academy full-screened ratio, not widescreen.
