Summary: The World's Most Famous Rabbit--In His Most Famous Cartoons. It's time to celebrate with the "wabbit"who can do anything! Bugs Bunny is a one-man show(or should that be "one-rabbit" show?)whose various talents are show-cased in this hilarious collection of five cartoon classics. As an athlete, Baseball Bugs demonstrates how to highhandedly take on a batty Brooklyn ball team, The Gas House Gorillas. In Hare Ribbing shows off his aquatic skills by chasing a dopey dog under the sea. Music comes naturally to Bugss, as he performsa raucous piano recital in Rhapsody Rabbit. Bugs'specialty is his ability to make mischief against Elmer Fudd , and that he does as The Wabbit Who Came To Supper. goading Fudd into harming him so he'll lose his Uncle Louie's inheritance. Finally, The Wacky Wabbit heckles Elmer out west while on a goofy gold hunt. Episode 1- Hare Ribbin': A dog with a Russian accent (a la Bert Gordon's "Mad Russian") is hunting for a rabbit by sniffing a trail. He happens upon Bugs who begins to torment the dog. This prompts a chase, which leads to a nearby lake where the rest of the story continues. Most of the action takes place underwater. Episode 2- Rhapsody Rabbit: "Merrily We Roll Along" plays, followed by a segment of the "lively" portion of Wagner's "Siegfried" funeral march, as Bugs walks onstage to applause and prepares to play the grand piano. He runs through a large assortment of visual gags while continuing to play the "Hungarian Rhapsody". An apparent audience member coughs and hacks loudly just as Bugs is poised to play. When it happens a second time, Bugs pulls a revolver out of his tuxedo and shoots the audience member, dispatching him, and then blows the smoke out of the gun barrel before returning it to his tuxedo and resuming the piano. Episode 3-Baseball Bugs:A baseball game in New York City was in progress. The two teams playing were the visiting Gas-House Gorillas, consisting entirely of big, aggressive, hulking tough guys, and the home team, the Tea Totallers, consisting entirely of weak and frail elderly men. By that point, the visiting team was dominating team the entire game and the Tea Totallers were being pushed around. One of the Gorillas even belted the umpire into the ground after disagreeing with his call (he first said "BALL" but after the beat down, he changed it to "STRIKE", said that he was sorry and didn't know what had come over him, and then fainted and fell into a hole). Shortly after, the Gorillas went into a conga line making hit after hit after hit. Episode 4-The Wacky Wabbit:A fat Elmer Fudd is prospecting for gold, singing "Oh! Susanna", except that instead of 1849, it is during World War II, with the implication that Elmer hopes to donate the gold to the war effort: "Oh, Susanna, don't you cwy for me, I'm gonna get me wots of gold, "V for Victowy!", not to mention a "Buy US Savings Bonds and Stamps" sign. Episode 5-The Wabbit Who Came to Supper:While out on the hunt for rabbits, Elmer receives a telegram from "Eastern Union" saying his Uncle Louie will leave him $3 million in his will, as long as he doesn't harm any animals—especially rabbits. "We're in the Money" plays in the underscore. Elmer, with his rounded-L's-and-R's speech impediment, of course cannot pronounce "Uncle Louie" correctly; which sounds more like "Uncoh Wooie". Bugs, with characteristic élan, takes full advantage of the situation by moving in with Elmer.
