Friz Freleng, Napoleon Bunny-Part, USA 1956
An odd one; we've seen Bugs in historical periods before (Ancient Rome, old west, etc.) but here we see Bugs going up against a historical figure, in this case Napoleon (although when he went against the Roman Emperor, he was more of a side character).
Bugs takes one of his many wrong turns and ends up France. The headquarters of the Emperor Napoleon, to be precise. Napoleon is a bit of a stuffed shirt so naturally Bugs unleashes all his skills to drive the emperor nutty.
Decent, Freleng's done better work. Napoleon comes across as a French Yosemite Sam. I'm honestly rather surprised they didn't just slap Sam in a uniform and call him Napoleon Sam.
