Bugs Bunny is more than a cartoon character. He is an international hero - a perennial number one in the hearts (and ratings) of generations of fans. For over fifty years, the world's favourite rabbit has delighted audiences in cinemas, on television, on video cassettes. Now, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of his first cartoon (A Wild Hare, 1940) comes Bugs in ultimate book form. In text, dialogue, and over 400 illustrations, you will discover the secrets of his cool sophistication, his manic charm, his brash cockiness—and his ability to find a solution no matter what the odds. Here is the official history of the "wascally wabbit's” life: from the pre-Bugs bunnies who appeared in Warners' cartoon in the late 1930s through the classic Bugs of the 1940s and the ultimate refinements of his character in the 1950s and 1960s. A rabbit for all seasons and all guises, he has appeared as a debonair rake, a calm, suave peacemaker, a feisty, anarchistic manipulator—complete master of his universe. The stories of each of the living legends who directed him—including Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, and Robert McKimson-are here, including quotes about their "relationships” with Bugs, with special prefaces bearing tribute from Messrs. Freleng and Jones. And the stories of the lesser-known people the storymen, animators, inkers, in-betweeners—who made up the composite personality known as Bugs Bunny are told as well.
