Availability
Bugs Bunny: Superstar was first released in theaters in late-1975. It was also available on laserdisc and VHS format during the late 1980s but both versions had been discontinued since 1999 when MGM/UA Home Video lost the distribution rights to MGM and a.a.p. titles owned by Turner Entertainment to Warner Home Video.
It was re-released on DVD on November 14, 2006, as a two-part special feature in the box set Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4. Most of the cartoons were previously released as separate, refurbished entries in the DVD collection. This film is presented pretty much "as is", with some age-wear apparent here and there. Most of the prints of the cartoons used were the Turner dubbed versions, replacing the original prints from the 1975 release. The Old Grey Hare on the DVD used an original a.a.p. print (as part of the a.a.p. open soundtrack can be heard at the beginning of that cartoon) to preserve the final gag involving the "That's all, Folks" title card, which was lost in the Turner dubbed version of that cartoon. I Taw a Putty Tat is the other that was sourced from an a.a.p. print as the Turner dubbed version, which has an edit to remove a blackface gag.
On November 15th, 2012, Warner Brothers released the documentary on DVD through the Warner Archive.

Famous quotes containing the word availability:
“Since ... six weeks ago, there has been no day in which I have not had letters and visits on the subject of my nomination for the Presidency.... I say very little. I have in no instance encouraged any one to work to that end.... I have said the whole talk about me is on the score of availability. Let availability do the work then.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
