Bugs Bunny's Easter Special

 Friz Freleng, Bugs Bunny Easter Special (1977), DePatie-Freleng Enterprise

So, Bugs was back. Since False Hare, Bugs had been regulated to Kool-Aid ads and Saturday Morning reruns. The last special was a hit, so why not do another one?

The Easter Bunny is down and a replacement is needed ASAP. Granny is on the case-she'll get Bugs Bunny! A quick jaunt over to the Warner Bros lot finds her star, but his contract is apparently ironclad. he's simply booked solid and can't help.

Daffy Duck overhears and tries to offer his services, but his outfits are too weird. We then go through a montage of other Looney Tunes characters but none of them fit the bill. Bugs finally finds a loophole, but he can't begin the work for another week at least. 

When the Easter Bunny himself hops in, is the crises over?

Decent. This would be the standard for most TV specials. There would be a wraparound followed by shorts from earlier in the studio's history. Here they just use clips and the difference between the old animation and the new is startling. Not in a good way either, but I suppose by '77 they weren't as picky.
