In the series ' final episode " The Last Episode Ever ", Jay is revealed to be the show's animator, as he constantly re-draws the physical forms of Dante and Randal ( similar to one of Bugs Bunny's antics in Looney Tunes ) toward the end of the episode.

The 1940 Academy Award-nominated cartoon A Wild Hare ( directed by Avery ) marked Bugs Bunny's official debut.

The Freleng-produced compilation features were The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie ( 1981 ), Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales ( 1982 ), and Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island ( 1983 ).

In cartoons with non-Western themes, he uses various aliases, including " Chilkoot Sam " ( named for the Chilkoot Trail ; Sam pronounces it " Chilli-koot ") in 14 Carrot Rabbit ( although in the same cartoon, when he tries to gain Bugs Bunny's trust, he cleverly invents alias " Square-deal Sam "), " Riff Raff Sam " in Sahara Hare, " Sam Schulz " in Big House Bunny, " Seagoin ' Sam " in Buccaneer Bunny, " Shanghai Sam " in Mutiny on the Bunny, and " Sam Von Schamm the Hessian " in Bunker Hill Bunny and many others.

" Top Secret Apprentice ", a segment of the Tiny Toons Adventures episode broadcast on February 1, 1991, is a modern version of the story, with Buster Bunny messing around with Bugs Bunny's cartoon scenery machine and getting himself into a big heap of trouble.

The new wraparounds for Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales ( 1982 ) and Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island ( 1983 ) featured footage by a new Warner Bros.

A prototype version of Honey Bunny first appeared in the Bugs Bunny's Album comic book from 1953.

However, a female rabbit with Honey Bunny's yellow character design ( who is unnamed in the cartoon but credited as Honey Bunny ) makes a cameo appearance in the closing scene of the Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet animated television special in 1978.

Jones ' final Looney Tunes cartoon was From Hare to Eternity in 1996, which starred Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam, with Greg Burson voicing Bugs.

* Looney Tunes included the cartoon character Marvin the Martian ( 1948 ), a comic foil to Warner Bros. mainstays Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in several animated shorts.

From 1938 – 1946, every Looney Tunes short ( except for Hare Tonic and Baseball Bugs, with Bugs doing the drum scene instead ) ended with Porky Pig coming out of a drum and saying " th-th-th-that's all folks!

This was followed by the debuts of other memorable Looney Tunes stars such as Daffy Duck ( in 1937 ) and the most famous of the Looney Tunes cast, Bugs Bunny ( in 1940 ).

Bugs appeared mostly in the color Merrie Melodies series and formally joined the Looney Tunes crew with the release of Buckaroo Bugs.

Bugs Bunny made a cameo appearance in 1942 in the Avery / Clampett cartoon Crazy Cruise and also at the end of the Frank Tashlin 1943 cartoon Porky Pig's Feat which marked Bugs ' only appearance in a black-and-white Looney Tunes short.

It is the only time in which Looney Tunes characters have shared screen time with their rivals at Disney ( producers of the film )— particularly in the scenes where Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse are skydiving, and when Daffy Duck and Donald Duck are performing their " Dueling Pianos " sequence.

The film also introduced the character Lola Bunny, who subsequently became another recurring member of the Looney Tunes, usually as a love interest for Bugs.

Immediately prior to this decision, Looney Tunes shorts were airing on several networks at once: on Cartoon Network, on Nickelodeon ( as Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon ), and on ABC ( as The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show ).

A handful of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts are no longer aired on American television nor are they available for sale by Warner Bros. because of the racial stereotypes of black people, Jews, Native Americans, Asians such as Japanese ( especially during WWII, as in Tokio Jokio and Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips ), Chinese and Germans included in some of the cartoons.

He has appeared in cartoon series such as Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, where he usually has been depicted as the best friend and occasional arch-rival of Bugs Bunny.

Following Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Warner Bros. has slowly moved the spotlight away from Bugs and more towards Daffy, as shown in the 2006 video release Bah, Humduck!

A Looney Tunes Christmas, where Daffy plays the lead, while Bugs Bunny appears in a supporting role.

Porky also appeared on Cartoon Network's animated series The Looney Tunes Show in 2011 alongside Bugs and Daffy.

Golden Press released trade paperback reprint collections ( Walt Disney Christmas Parade, Bugs Bunny Comics-Go-Round, Star Trek Enterprise Logs ), while the distribution of comic books on spinners and racks at drug stores, supermarkets and such continued under the Gold Key label-the same comics being simultaneously distributed ( usually in plastic bags of three ) to toy and department stores, newsstands at airports, bus / train stations, " as well as other outlets that weren't conducive to conventional comic racks ", under the Whitman logo, which it also used for products such as coloring books.

The short features Elmer Fudd in the role of Taylor, wearing his styled eyeglasses, who introduces two segments set to pieces by Johann Strauss ( Tales from the Vienna Wood and the Blue Danube, both featuring Porky and Bugs and Daffy respectively ).

Unlike Bugs and Buster, she doesn't wear white gloves most of the time, but for some of her disguises, such as in parts of " The Vanderbunnys ", " SuperBabs ", " Strange Tales of Weird Science ", " The Acme Acres Zone " and a few others, she does wear white gloves.

From about 1976 to 1984, they ran some cartoons as well including Tom and Jerry ( until 1981 ), Bullwinkle, Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales, Underdog, The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Jonny Quest, The Flintstones ( 1981 – 1984 ), Bugs Bunny ( until 1982 ), among others.

" Chuck Jones particularly disliked Clampett, and made no mention of his association with him in either his 1979 compilation film The Bugs Bunny / Road Runner Movie ( in which Jones lists himself and other Warners directors ) or his 1989 autobiography Chuck Amuck.

In the 1979 compilation feature film The Bugs Bunny / Road Runner Movie, Clampett is not mentioned when Bugs Bunny refers to his " several fathers.

It has also inspired many variations and parodies, such as the 1979 Bugs Bunny special, A Connecticut Rabbit In King Arthur's Court.

These specials, and a 1975 Looney Tunes retrospective feature film titled Bugs Bunny: Superstar, led Jones to produce The Bugs Bunny / Road Runner Movie for Warner Bros. in 1979.
