    Please stop telling me I "forgot" _Wabbit Season_ .
    A - It is NOT canon
    B - Even if it was, how do I "forget" something that was released 12 months AFTER I made the video?

      No, they don’t “own the rights” to the video. The own the rights to their character, which they legally claimed wrongful use of.

    Without a doubt, I loved the Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny. It was always about Bugs being attacked in his natural environment and his retaliation (of course you realize this means war). And the visual presentation was awesome.

    Bugs Bunny saved Mel Blanc's life irl. When Blanc was in a coma as a result of a car crash, the doctors started addressing Blanc as Bugs Bunny. In a comatose state, Blanc replied as Bugs, and eventually he was pulled out of it. That's a true story.

I guess if I had to pic a fave classic-era Bugs cartoon, I'd have to go with the hilarious Bugs/Daffy hunting-season trilogy... "DUCK season! WABBIT season! ... Wabbit season! DUCK season, FIRE!"

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite films. I didn't know about the stipulation of equal screen time between the characters. I remember that the Daffy/Donald scene was perfect. But the Bugs/Mickey scene was in tune with how Bugs would act, but not so much Mickey. Now it makes more sense of why they chose to do that. I hope a Daffy vid comes out soon, he's my fave!

    I love him so much, when i had to do an assignment on our favourite character and how it represents cool, i naturally chose Bugs Bunny doing a PowerPoint presentation that ended up being far far too long.

    Didn’t think I’d be as big into the non-Disney stuff because you truly hit a homerun again and again with “Explaining Disney” but this was just as good if not better. Can’t wait to see more and hope you’re going to continue to do the follow-up voice evolution for these as well. I’m sure you’ve got an entire lineup of characters you want to do, but I would LOVE to see the many versions of Tom and Jerry added to the list.

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks so much for saying. I was a little nervous going into this one myself, because I have less background in WB history. But with my knowledge of the industry at the time, and the realization that everyone was literally just following / ripping off Disney or were ex-Disney artists, I found it quite easy. And honestly think I had more fun on this than any of the previous ones because of the challenge.
      Really glad you enjoyed this too!
      Plenty of possibilities for future but Tom & Jerry is definitely towards the top of the list!

Or the Yosemite Sam - "High Diving Hare". So many good memories. Space Jam was pretty entertaining too but after the 90's, Bugs completely vanished off the radar for me. I'm glad to see he's still out there and kicking about. I couldn't imagine a world without Bugs Bunny.
