Hal Greer, How Bugs Bunny Won the West, DePatie-Freleng Enterprises
With all the other specials going, Warner Bros pressed on and in 1978, we saw another special. The difference this time is while it shows many shorts, the new animation is minimal. Instead, famed Western actor Denver Pyle acts as the narrator as the shorts (mostly focusing on Bugs but a few Daffy ones are featured) play out more or less normally.
Barbary-Coast Bunny (1956) kicks things off, but from the edits the story is now Bugs being a fresh off the boat rube who just happens to ruin a gambling house by winning, with new animation showing him deciding to head over to Sutter's Mill to try some of that prospecting he's head so much about.
The rest of the special goes about the same way. One short segues into another, sometimes with new animation but only a brief scene or two.
Decent and at least it isn't as convoluted as the Halloween one.
