Bugs Bunny

A detailed Summary of Bugs Bunny

Over a 36-year span starting in 1930, Warner Bros. studios turned out a series of theatrical cartoons known as Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. In the process, they let loose some of the greatest directors in the field, who proceeded to create a wild stable of characters and cartoons that were probably the funniest and most frantic ever made. The directors responsible include Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones and Robert McKimson. The immortal characters they created include Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester and Tweety, Road Runner and Coyote, and many, many more. Having already passed the test of time, these cartoons will be making audiences laugh for generations to come.

Legendary entertainer. Hollywood icon. Wascally wabbit. With his sharp wit and smooth intelligence, Bugs Bunny is one of the world's most beloved cartoon stars. When not pursuing his love of a good carrot, he's busy displaying his uniquely unflappable nature. Only Bugs Bunny can stare into the face of imminent danger and respond, "Eh, what's up, Doc?"

A cartoon character's height is measured by how many heads tall they are. Bugs bunny is just under 4 heads tal but when you add his ears he's 5 1/2 heads tall.

The influence of Bugs' many directors, animators, designers and writers has transformed him from the embryonic, hyperactive bit-player in "Porky's Hare Hunt" (1938) to the sharp-minded and confident American icon of 1990's "Box Office Bunny."

Bugs' first incarnation came from the pen of writer and layout artist Ben "Bugs" Hardaway who, with animator Charlie Thorsen, created the first model sheet for the rabbit. Thorsen labelled the sheet as "Bug's Bunny" and Hardaway's nickname eventually stayed with the character (Director Tex Avery had wanted the rabbit to be called "Jack" or "Jack E. Rabbit," but gave in to producer Leon Schlesinger's preference for the alliterative ring of "Bugs Bunny"). Hardaway used the frenetic, screwball Bugs character once again in 1939's "Hare-urn Scare-Urn" before Tex Avery took Bugs and dramatically changed the direction of his character.

Four directors refined Bugs' character after `A Wild Hare:" Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson and Chuck Jones. Clampett w
