Tex Avery went all out with this one, and many of the gags are just so over - the - top that you are boggled at the madness. I still search it out whenever I need a good laugh, and I suggest everyone give it a look.

That might be because in general, you seldom see the Fleischer stuff on local TV any more, whereas Warner Bros stuff is on a tight rotation (at least it is here in Australia).

In fact, I've met very few Jones cartoons I DIDN'T like! :-) Our whole family adores Bugs Bunny (after all, he's from New York! :-)). In particular, my mom and I would laugh our derrieres off over WHAT'S OPERA, DOC, hearing Mom sing "Oh, Bwunhilda, you're so lovely/Yes, I know it, I can't help it!" Other Chuck Jones Looney Tunes I love because they're so deliciously evil and hilarious include CHOW HOUND ("What? No gravy?!") and THE HYPO-CHONDRI-CAT ("He's toinin' plaid!" "Don't overdo it!"). Fine choices, Becky -- further proof of your superb taste in toons and so many other great things in life! :-)DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-88494848870567893102011-08-20T17:23:04.829-04:002011-08-20T17:23:04.829-04:00Hi Toto!

I love it when Elmer regrets what he has done and runs down the jagged rocks singing: "I've killed the wabbit....poor widdle bunny." I hope Wagner had a sense of humor about what Bugs and Elmer did with his great operatic music! If so, I bet he actually did roll in his grave, laughing! ("14 carrot performance"?

Elmer Fudd is a lot of fun, whether he's wanting to kill the wabbit or kiss her/him! Bugs, of course, is top bunny all the time with his 14 carrot performances.

Yvette, that is so cool about working on the Popeye cartoons, and somehow even cooler that you got fired - Popeye too was a non-conformist to the MAN! LOL! <br /><br />Obviously Chuck Jones was reincarnated from an ancient god of comedy--no doubt! Boy it is hard to do these posts, having to leave out so many I love - Rabbit of Seville, Betty Boop and Cab Calloway (what a WEIRD cartoon, and I love it), and Tasmanian devil.

If I had to pick just one I'd pick the Opera one.<br /><br />Although the Barber of Seville would be my second choice. I still remember bits of the song that crack me up.<br /><br />Welcome to my shop,<br />Let me cut your mop,<br />Let me trim your crop!<br /><br />Ha!!<br /><br />My daughter learned to love this music from watching the cartoons with me. <br /><br />Did I ever tell you that I worked on Popeye cartoons way back when in the early sixties when Paramount had a studio in NYC on 45th street?<br />Well, I did. I was just out of art school and I was hired as an 'opaquer' to paint in the inked figures drawn by the animators. The cartoons were awful though. Not the original Popeyes at all. Just the pale imitations of the later TV show. Dreadful. I was fired after six months. Which was just as well.<br /><br />I may have told you this already, if so, ignore it. :)Yvettehttp://yvettecandraw.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-82998466301791014642011-08-19T15:34:58.912-04:002011-08-19T15:34:58.912-04:00Splendid post, with great choices (I'm going t...Splendid post, with great choices (I'm going to check up on that Popeye one). Other faves I'd add are Betty Boop (the one where she's Snow White and when Cab Calloway performs Minnie the Moocher as a kind of ghost Walrus) and the great Tex Avery (who could forget Red Riding Hood and the Wolf?). I once was at a film theater showing the cartoon of "What's Opera, Doc"; at the point where Elmer Fudd starts singing that he's going to kill the wabbit, about half the audience started singing along with him - one of my most unnerving movie experiences.

There are too many to list, but one I dearly loved is where Bugs, sporting Bette davis lips, slicks back his ears and says: "I'd like to ya, but I just washed my hair." Or, maybe it's "hare"!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-40276226718298557792011-08-19T09:00:37.106-04:002011-08-19T09:00:37.106-04:00Great picks!
