Fun Stuff

Trivia:
While Robert McKimson and his team were discussing new adversaries for Bugs Bunny, animator Sid Marcus suggested offhandedly that they have used everything except a Tasmanian devil. They looked the animal up in the encyclopedia and decided he would make a good foil for Bugs. more

Taz fails to fulfill the character's promise in his first short, 2 November 2005
6/10
Author: movieman_kev from United States

Bugs Bunny encounters an Tasmanian devil in another lack luster effort by McKimson. Taz had promise, but sadly he would never fulfill on it until the funny '90's show "Tazmania". Here's he's pretty much just another foil, one of the lesser ones I might add, for Bugs. Given this IS a McKimson Bugs carton, it shouldn't come as a big surprise that this effort is a tad light in the laughs department. I just wish someone better came up with the idea of Taz and was able to utilize him better. This animated short can be found on disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 and an optional commentary by Jerry Beck
