As Warner Bros. prepares to roll out new versions of its iconic Looney Tunes characters, the studio also is delving into their past to release some classic shorts newly re-mastered and released for the first time on DVD.
The studio has announced the release Aug. 10 of two new sets: Looney Tunes Super Stars: Bugs Bunny, Hare Extraordinaire and Looney Tunes Super Stars: Daffy Duck Frustrated Fowl.
The DVDs each include 15 shorts newly re-mastered from the original film elements and are the first releases in a new series of Looney Tunes releases. The DVDs will carry a suggested retail price of $19.98.
The Bugs Bunny DVD includes Chuck Jones’ Lumber Jack-Rabbit, the only Warner Bros. cartoon produced in 3D.
