Bugs Bunny's Valentine

 Hal Greer, Bugs Bunny's Valentine, DePatie-Freleng Enterprises/Warner Bros. Television


Also known as Bugs Bunny's Cupid Capers


Nearing the end, and by 1979 rolled on we went back to the specials that were compilations with a few minutes of original animation. 

We open with Bugs getting ready for a date with Daisy [Hare Splitter (1948)] when Cupid (Elmer) flies down and makes the pitch that he helps the lonely hearted folks. Bugs disagrees, arguing that with the advent of spring is motivation enough. 

Bugs heads to the local racing track [the Gray Hounded Hare (1949)] with Cupid in hot pursuit...


Not bad and while it does handle things better than the Halloween special it is a stepdown from the King Arthur one, but as far as holiday specials go this could have been worse.
