Corona Virus and Rabbititis

Just a cartoon to pass the time away while you're sheltered at home.    You'll see why I picked this one about half the way through...

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Yankee Doodle Bugs

In our never-ending efforts to be timely, this week we bring you Yankee Doodle Bugs, a 1954 Looney Tune from Friz Freleng.  I donm't have much to say about this one, except this note to trivia fans:  This is one of only two cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny's nephew, Clyde.   His other appearance was in His Hare Raising Tale, released three years earlier in 1951.   (He also appeared in a television special, but we don't count that).  Enjoy!

Happy Easter!

Here's an odd little clip from the 1949 film, "My Dream is Yours," starring Doris Day and Jack Carson.   In this dream sequence, Doris and Jack dress up as Easter bunnies to sing a ditty based on the Hungarian Rhapsody #2.   Of course, they get help from another famous Warner Bros. star...

Saturday Morning Cartoon: What's Cooking, Doc?

In honor of the 85th annual Academy Awards, I present What's Cooking Doc?, a 1944 Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Robert Clampett.   No need to say anything else; you'll get the reference soon enough.   Enjoy!

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Ballot Box Bunny

Only three more days until election day!   For today's cartoon I've picked a standerd Bugs Bunny / Yosemite Sam cartoon from 1950:  Ballot Box Bunny, directed by Friz Freleng.  This cartoon contains the infamous "Those Endearing Young Charms" exploding piano gag (used at least three times by the Warners crew) and a unusually dark ending that in recent years has been edited out of television showings.  I wish all elections could be determined this easily.   Enjoy!

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Easter Yeggs

Happy Easter, one and all!   In keeping with the holiday, I'm posting the 1947 Bugs Bunny cartoon, "Easter Yeggs," directed by Robert McKimson.   The Easter rabbit in this cartoon is based on the "Happy Postman" character that Mel Blanc portrayed on the George Burns and Gracie Allen radio show in the 1940's.  Not the best cartoon, but hey, it was a choice between this and "Funny Little Bunnies."   I'll save that one for next year.   Enjoy!
