TOOOOO many to choose from!   8)

But...the one where he imitates Leopold Stokowski must be near or at the top!

Hmmm. I think I'll go with Duck Amuck!

Choosing from only one era or director or producer is difficult enough, but to narrow it down to one?  :)

I like 'Devil May Hare' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_May_Hare and 'Baseball Bugs' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_Bugs, but right now I'll choose one that might be kind of obvious for this forum, 'Long-Haired Hair' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Haired_Hare

That would be mine, except it's not Bugs. Another would be the Singing Frog or The Potable Hole, but no Bugs there either.

My pick is probably the one with Bugs getting Daffy to ask to be shot ("Hmmm. Pronoun trouble.") but What's Opera Doc is pretty damn brilliant.

What's Opera Doc. Always a favourite.

Yeah, way too many to even remember  :laugh:


Thanks to all for playing! It's impossible, ain't it?

I'm apt to agree that in "Duck Amuck," Bugs is but a visual punch-line.

To name one favorite as yet unmentioned, "Operation: Rabbit" ... I'm lookin' over a t'ree-leafed clover that I overlooked be-three....

But yes, "The Big Snooze," "Water, Water Every Hare" ... and I texted my sister only this afternoon, "pronoun trouble" ("Rabbit Seasoning") ... and, and ... no stopping, really.

"LEOPOLD!  LEOPOLD!  LEOPOLD!  LEOPOLD!!!"

Back when average Joe's and Joan's could name a symphony conductor!  That ended with Leonard Bernstein, I fear!

Anyway...

Rabbit Seasoning  is a great one, as is Duck, Rabbit, Duck, and What's Opera, Doc? ("O Bwoonhilda, you're so wuvewy!"  "Yes, I know it, I can't help it!") is in a class by itself!

Not to be forgotten...Jim Backus doing a guest voice as the genie:

And Vincent Price also did a guest voice as the Evil Scientist (BOO!) in Water, Water, Every Hare...or did he?  It sure sounds like Vincent Price, but credit is given to a "John T. Smith" in some sources.  IMDB lists "John T. Smith" for other voices which were not done by Mel Blanc.

Is it possible it was a pseudonym for a variety of actors having some fun between movies?

Anyway, another fave is 8 Ball Bunny where Humphrey Bogart doing Fred Dobbs from Treasure of the Sierra Madre appears several times to ask Bugs: "Pahdon me, but could you help out a fellow American who's down on 'is luck?"

https://www.youtube.com/v/5ImVyhoQ1KE

The Bogart voice is attributed to a "Dave Barry."

One of my favorites is What's Opera, Doc? as well. Since watching this cartoon for the very first time as a child I can't help but sing "Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit..." whenever I hear Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries8)

I also love Rhapsody Rabbit, Rabbit of Seville and Long-Haired Hare.

The one where they argue whether it's duck season or wabbit season. Just kills me...
Be kind to your fellow posters!!
