Stars of Space Jam is a series of Looney Tunes VHS tapes released by Warner Home Video in 1996, made to promote the release of Space Jam. A Japanese LaserDisc of this set was released around the same time. Each tape/side featured six cartoons, most of which had not been made available on home video before. The series was initially discontinued around the time the Looney Tunes Presents series came out in 1998.

The series was re-released on DVD on October 9, 2018, though with some slight changes to the Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck releases.

Behind the scenes

  • This the first home media series to feature cartoons with the Tasmanian Devil.
  • On the DVD version, on the Bugs Bunny DVD collection, "Barbary-Coast Bunny" is replaced by "Ali Baba Bunny", while on the Daffy Duck DVD collection, "Holiday for Drumsticks" is replaced by "Daffy Duck Slept Here".
  • Both the restored transfers of "Apes of Wrath" and "Person to Bunny" are presented in their original correct 4:3 aspect ratios on this DVD set, as opposed to the cropped widescreen versions as seen on their respective Looney Tunes Super Stars DVD sets they originated from.
  • On the Tasmanian Devil DVD, "Fright Before Christmas" is presented as the last 10 minutes of the TV special Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales.
  • In Europe, an additional VHS series called Stars of Space Jam: Space Tunes was also released, featuring a variety of Looney Tunes shorts based on the theme of outer space, including some Marvin the Martian cartoons. This tape was released on VHS in the United States as part of Looney Tunes Presents, and is referred to as Marvin the Martian: Space Tunes.
