Charles M. Jones, Bully for Bugs, USA 1953
If not the best short Jones ever did, certainly one of the best. Supposedly created when producer Eddie Selzer barged into the production offices and loudly declared that bullfighting wasn't funny. Figuring that Eddie hadn't been right yet, Michael Maltese fired off this yarn.
Bugs, in route to the Carrot Festival in Coachella Valley, takes a wrong turn and ends up in the middle of a bullfighting ring. He'd ask the matador, but the fancy dressed fellow split when facing down his opponent, Toro.
Toro proceeds to mess with Bugs. This doesn't end well for him.
Wonderful; seriously, if you can only watch one of Jones's shorts this should be considered.
