Bugs Bunny: Superstar documentary footage. "Bugs Bunny: Superstar" was the first of a series of Warner cartoon compilation movies released in the 1970s and 1980s. However, as a documentary, it does not fit the mold of the totally animated Warner Brothers compilation movies that began with 1979's "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie". "Bugs Bunny: Superstar" was not considered a "canon" compilation movie because it was produced by Larry Jackson's Hare-Raising Films, rather than by Warner Bros. (1982's "" is actually the "fourth" Bugs film, if "Bugs Bunny: Superstar" were to be included.) The nine full-length cartoons featured in "Bugs Bunny: Superstar" were originally
The Bugs Bunny Show for the remainder of its run. The series was rerun in color beginning in 1965, and remained on ABC until September 1968. At this point, the series switched to CBS, where it was combined with "The Road Runner Show" (which had aired on CBS since 1966) to create "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour". The standard "Bugs Bunny Show" opening and the announcer's introduction of Bugs Bunny ("that Oscar-winning rabbit!") were directly followed by the rabbit's saying, "...and also starring my fast feathered friend, the Road Runner", after which "The Road Runner Show's" theme was played.
