Film Overview

That “wascally wabbit” turns 50 this year, and to celebrate we've assembled more than a dozen of Bugs' greatest cartoons. From the very first, “A Wild Hare” (1940), in which Tex Avery introduced the definitive Bugs, through shorts by Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson, all of Bugs' rivals will appear – Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote, Elmer Fudd, and the Tazmanian Devil – trying to outsmart that wise-guy rabbit. During his 25-year career, Bugs starred or appeared in more than 200 short films a busy bunny, indeed. It's hard to pick from so many classics, but you can expect to see “What's Opera, Doc?” (1957), “Rabbit Fire” (1951), “Devil May Hare” (1951), and Bugs'last film “False Hare” (1964).
