  • The film includes nine Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons which were previously released from 1940 until 1948 (thus, this can also be considered an anthology film): * What's Cookin' Doc? (1944) * The Wild Hare (a.k.a.

Some contemporary critics pointed out that Clampett's important role, as one of the primary developers of the early Warner cartoons, was slanted to some degree, due to his prominent presence in this film. The documentary infuriated many of the Warner Bros. artists as Clampett liberally took credit for much of the Warner creations. For this reason, Chuck Jones (who angrily had a strong dislike for Clampett) left out Clampett's name in the 1979 compilation film The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie when Bugs discusses about his fathers (where Chuck and other Warners directors were being listed) and his 1989 autobiography Chuck Amuck. 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 mould of the totally-animated Warner Bros. compilation movies that began with 1979's The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie. This film was not included because it was not produced by Warner Bros. (it was produced by Hare-Raising Films) and the cartoons were controlled by United Artists at that time as part of the Associated Artists Productions library of pre-1950 Warner Bros. films.
