What's Up Doc?

 Robert McKimson, What's Up, Doc? USA 1950


Now this is a keeper. The first anniversary short, commemorating Bugs Bunny's tenth anniversary (not counting the pre-1940 shorts).

We open with Bugs chatting with a reporter from the Disassociated Press at his Hollywood home. He recalls his childhood and his getting into show business, plus his first encounter with Elmer Fudd. 


Wonderful. I love the take, that Bugs is an actor, and the running gag of the chorus. Beautiful payoff at the end too.
