"Dat's da nice, fat opera singer!"<br />I also really like Friz Freleng's "Slick Hare" (1947) and "Rhapsody Rabbit" (1946) and Bob Clampett's "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid". If I were to tell somebody which BB cartoons were the most essential, those would be my picks (besides, you know, "What's Opera, Doc?", "Rabbit of Seville", the Hunting Trilogy, etc.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332408670096915048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-72712187332705449722013-07-23T03:09:39.649-07:002013-07-23T03:09:39.649-07:00TOTALLY agree, and have done so since childhood!

He certainly shaped Bugs' personality in the early 40's. <br /><br />"Heckling Hare" (1941) was Bugs Bunny's fifth cartoon. <br /><br />"Long-Haired Hare" was released 8 years later, in 1949, and is Bugs 60th cartoon. By then, the rabbit's personality had been further shaped and molded by the hands of other animation greats like Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, Frank Tashlin, Bob McKimson and of course Chuck Jones. So, by the time Jones started making Long-Haired Hare, Bugs had evolved into the unflappable self-preservationist rabbit we know today.Tom Rueggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509448730816934205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-36215263177444467722010-11-30T15:50:15.478-08:002010-11-30T15:50:15.478-08:00Good pick, Tom.

"Rabbit of Seville"...Good pick, Tom. (^_~)<br />"Rabbit of Seville" was another great Jones Bugs cartoon. I think my personal favorite has to be, if any, "The Heckling Hare". It's one of Tex's entries and I think it shows his personality the best out of all of his cartoons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618562818963525364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-24943742421292479862010-09-08T12:53:07.506-07:002010-09-08T12:53:07.506-07:00Next time Bugs Bunny at the symphony or broadway o...Next time Bugs Bunny at the symphony or broadway or whatever the next incarnation is that plays at the Bowl - GO SEE IT! So amazing!<br /><br />Plus kinda trippy if you sit far enough back. They played that cartoon & matched the coloring of the Bowl lighting. From far enough back it looked like Bugs was really directing the orchestra! the conductor even mimicked some of Bugs' poses!<br /><br />They also played a Tom & Jerry short this year (last time it was all LT shorts) that was the same thing. They matched the lighting so the actual Bowl looked like the toon Bowl. SO COOL! Highly recommend it.SimingPuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16643048969671954690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-32856921948865686292010-09-07T14:03:59.804-07:002010-09-07T14:03:59.804-07:00Oh I LOVE that one!
