The Bugs Bunny Mother's Day Special

Friz Freleng, the Bugs Bunny Mother's Day Special, DePatie-Freleng Enterprises/Warner Bros. Television 


Also known as Bugs Bunny's Baby Boomers

And so we end another feature here, and we go out on a holiday special. Mother's Day doesn't get the quite the love that Halloween or Christmas does but it is nice to see it recongized. 

Bugs runs into Granny in the park and they chat about the importance of mothers and motherhood. A certain stork shows up, sober for once and we segue into the various shorts dealing with mothers. 

Not awful and they way they handle the shorts is fine, although I was surprised by the amount of Daffy Duck shorts but the focus here is the shorts and not a new narrative. Mostly, while there is new animation it mostly occurs after the shorts with the character commenting and/or setting up the next sequence.
