That Oscar winning rabbit, Bugs Bunny, takes center stage in the newly released DVD, Bugs Bunny Superstar, from the Warner Archive. The ninety minute documentary was originally produced in 1975 and is hosted by the legendary Bob Clampett and includes interviews with two other Looney Tunes legends, Tex Avery and Friz Freleng. The early history of Looney Tunes is examined throughout the documentary, which also includes nine animated shorts starring Bugs Bunny, Tweety, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Foghorn Leghorn, among others. In addition, Bob Clampett discusses his early days working at "Termite Terrace," which was the poorly constructed building where the Looney Tunes gang conspired to produce the timeless animated characters and short films that have been a part of the pop culture landscape for more than eight decades.
There is a large amount of Looney Tunes merchandise photographed throughout the film that may make viewers wonder who much that memorabilia would be worth today, since the classic cartoons are still in high demand. Bugs Bunny Superstar is narrated by screen legend Orson Welles, who likens "Termite Terrace" to other notable structures, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Palace of Versailles. The special features include audio commentary by director Larry Jackson and an Image/Photo gallery.
The animated shorts included in the documentary are What's Cookin' Doc?, A Wild Hare, I Taw a Putty Tat, Rhapsody Rabbit, A Corny Concerto, Walky Talky Hawky,The Old Grey Hare, My Favorite Duck and Hair-Raising Hare.
