Bugs Bunny Poster

“What’s up Doc?” Of all the most beloved cartoon characters, few are more beloved than Bugs Bunny.  With his smart mouth and his winning attitude he always got the upper hand on Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, and anyone else who came his way.  These cartoon classics had fans all over the world quoting lines well into adult hood: Go up to a forty year old guy and say “We’re hunting Elmers” and there is good chance he’ll know what your talking about.  Because they are classics, any merchandise related becomes collectible.  Bugs Bunny Posters are great way to collect cartoon memorabilia and show your love of the “Wascaly Wabbit!”

For over fifty years, Looney Tunes has created characters that became part of the American Culture.  Starting as shorts at the movie theater and then becoming a staple of children’s television, they set the standard for “two level” humor that can be loved by both children and adult.  The cartoons created iconic characters where grandparents can laugh along with their grandkids at jokes that are as funny now as they were in 1945.  Warner Brothers has cultivated this brand into one of the most widely recognized in the world.  Bugs has gone from movie shorts to beloved full length features.  Ask yourself a question:  If you watch the movie Space Jam fifty years from now, who is everyone going to recognize, Bill Murray, Michael Jordan, or Bugs Bunny? Bugs, of course.  All of this has been illustrated in great Bugs Bunny posters.

Just like any other collectible item, Bugs Bunny Posters come in all types.  You can get originals or reprints of classics.  You can also purchase new versions of America’s favorite.  Because these cartoons were written to appeal to everyone their popularity is timeless.  But it is not just the appeal of the cartoon that makes them so popular.  Like any great franchise, Looney Tunes knows the power of quality.  The art work is impeccable.  Ever look at Bugs, Foghorn Leghorn, Daffy Duck and not know what they are all about?  The attention to detail in each character comes through with every toon and on every poster.

So when you are purchasing art work (yes, it is art) to accentuate a kids room, a dorm room, a class room, or a rec room, nothing beats the cool rabbit who lets everyone in on the fun.  The quality is so spectacular, you may want to put a Bugs Bunny Poster in the living room, over the fireplace.  Sure beats an old relative that no one even recognizes.

Stunning original production cel featuringBugs Bunny and also signed by Fritz Freleng. Hand Painted original, actually used in the production of a cartoon.

Production Cel
An original Production Cel is the actual cel that was hand-painted and photographed for a cartoon or movie.

Each Cel is a one-of-a-kind work of art and represents a unique opportunity to own a unique moment in animation history. The term cel is derived from ‘celluloid nitrate’, an early form of the material used in the animation industry until the mid-1940s.

Nowadays, each cel is a sheet of clear acetate, normally 10.5 x 12.5″ (a twelve-field cel) or 16.5 x 13.5″ (a sixteen-field cel) in size.

Every movement of a character requires an individually hand-painted cel. By painting on transparent acetate, animators are able to create the illusion of life as characters move through the environment created by the background painting.

Bugs Bunny is the favorite “wraskly wabbit” from Warner Brother’s cartoons; his wit and funny ways have made him an icon for Bugs Bunny everywhere. Why not throw a Bugs Bunny party for your loved one on their next birthday?

Throwing a Bugs Bunny party can be fun and simple and the basics can be found just about anywhere. Pre-printed plates, cups, balloons and napkins are available at many discount or party stores. Invitations can also be purchased online or at several party retail outlets. Feel free to make your own invitations by cutting out carrots from orange and green construction paper. Attach Bugs Bunny stickers for a simple and inexpensive addition.

Bugs Bunny is always up for tricking his friends so make sure they’re present at a Bugs Bunny party! Don’t just use Bugs Bunny’s image when decorating, make sure that Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig and the rest of the gang’s images or stuffed animals are used for party decorations. This will make decorating easy since you will have many options for decorations.

A Bugs Bunny cake is standard fare at any Bugs Bunny party, and these are available at almost any local grocer’s bakery. But kick your party to the next level and have your cake be on that Bugs Bunny himself would enjoy…a carrot cake! Find a great carrot cake recipe or have one made at the local bakery. Instead of decorating it with standard cream cheese icing, use Bugs and his friends as cake toppers! Serve on orange plates to continue the carrot theme.

Cartoons may or may not have been made just for kids, but one thing is for certain. Cartoons have made an everlasting impression on all people both young and old. Some cartoons fade into obscurity quickly while others stand the test of time. We’re going to be starting a series of some of the most famous and arguably most important cartoons of all time.

Bugs Bunny has been a cartoon character seen not only on the cartoons but in commercials for a number of products. Bugs has become a household name and an American institution.

Bugs Bunny was originally created in 1939, but it wasn’t until 1940 when he took on a new voice in the person of Mel Blanc that Bugs became the character that we have grown to love. The truth is, nobody really knows who created Bugs Bunny. Speculation is that he was created by a number of people. Bugs did go on to become the first Warner Brothers cartoon and to this day, still the most popular. Speculation is that the character of Bugs Bunny was created to mimic the real life person of Groucho Marx. This may or may not be true, but there is a definite similarity between the two.

Bugs was a rather devilish character. He’d always manage to get everyone around him into all kinds of trouble while avoiding the same. He was the cartoon character’s con man and escape artist. No matter how tough a spot he was in he always found a way out of it. Kind of like a Superman without the super powers.

And oh, the targets of his conniving. Bugs had a host of characters to play off, all of which were just as important in cementing the Bugs Bunny legacy as Bugs himself.

Probably the most famous and the one who Bugs got the best of was Elmer Fudd. Poor Elmer. All this man wanted to do was hunt, as he would say, “wabbits”. Mel Blanc brought such wonderful life to this character with his garbled speech and dumb sound. Fudd was indeed what we call “bumfuzzled” or simply confused. No matter what trap he set for Bugs, the rascally rabbit was always able to weasel his way out of it.

Then there was Daffy Duck. Daffy was the wise guy kid and class clown who you both hated and loved in high school. Poor Daffy was also many times the victim of Bugs’ schemes. In one very memorable cartoon, Fudd was hunting rabbits and while Bugs and Daffy were together, Bugs managed to convince poor old Elmer that it was duck season. So instead of shooting Bugs, he’d shoot Daffy. And of course the head would go spinning around until he was looking behind him. A real person would have been dead. But these characters just kept coming back again and again.

Not all of the Bugs Bunny, or what was known as the Loony Toons cartoons, revolved around Bugs. There of course was the classic matchups of Tweety and Sylvester, and Road Runner and Wyle E. Coyote. To see each of these duos try to out fox each other alone was worth the price of admission.

Books could be written about these and so many other Bugs Bunny characters. If you haven’t seen the cartoons then do yourself a favor and pick up a DVD from Amazon or wherever you can get a hold of one. The resulting hours of laughter will be more than worth the price.
