Looney Tunes Golden Collection
Volume 3
Volume 3 contains 60 cartoons (52 in color) from the 1930s to 1960s. The cartoons are broken up into four 15 episode groups labeled as Bugs Bunny Classics, Hollywood Caricatures and Parodies, Porky and the Pigs, & All-Stars Cartoon Party.
Hare Force
On a cold and snowy night, Bugs wangles his way into the good graces, and more importantly, the house, belonging to an old lady. Sylvester, her dog, takes an instant dislike to the Bunny, and most of the cartoon is spent with the two tricking each other into going outside the house and getting locked out. Finally they get into a schtick where they are each throwing the other out the front door in turn, in quick succession. The old lady, fed up with all the bickering by now, intervenes and tells them both to get out, when suddenly she gets thrown out, startled and indignant. Bugs and the dog have made peace with each other, and are lazing by the fireplace. Bugs turns and says, "Gee, ain't I a stinker?"
Hare Remover
Elmer tries his best to create one of those "Jekyll and Hyde potions" that "changes a normal character into a devilish fiend", but his experiments always end in failure, causing his test animals to run for the hills and eat grass.
Hare Tonic
Elmer Fudd has purchased Bugs Bunny at a local grocery store with a sign visible in the window offering a special on "Fresh Hare" and is taking him home to make a meal.
A Hare Grows in Manhattan
Hollywood gossip queen "Lola Beverly", patterned after famous newspaper and radio columnist Louella Parsons, infrequently known as "Lolly", phones Bugs Bunny at his "mansion", which is actually a rabbit hole with fancy trimmings such as columns and a swimming pool. Bugs emerges from his hole half-asleep, but when he realizes he is being interviewed, he pops back down to "freshen up". Lola coaxes a biographical story from Bugs, and he talks about growing up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Easter Yeggs
Bugs Bunny finds the Easter Rabbit sitting on a rock, crying. He tells Bugs that his feet are sore, so he cannot deliver the Easter eggs. Bugs takes up the job, not knowing that he was actually tricked into doing so. Once Bugs leaves, the Easter Rabbit says that every year, he gets some "dumb bunny" to do his work for him. While skipping along merrily, Bugs pauses for a second and says, "I'm glad I don't have to do this for a living", before resuming.
The Wabbit Who Came to Supper
Bugs is seen running for his life from hunting dogs that are chasing after him. While out on the hunt for rabbits, Elmer receives a telegram from "Eastern Union" saying his Uncle Louie will leave him three million dollars in his will, as long as he doesn't harm any animals, especially rabbits. "We're in the Money" plays in the underscore. Elmer, with his rounded L's and R's speech impediment, of course cannot pronounce "Uncle Louie" correctly; it sounds more like "Uncoh Wooie". Bugs takes full advantage of the situation by moving in with Elmer.
Bowery Bugs
Bugs Bunny stands at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, about half a mile from the southern end of the actual street called the Bowery, telling an old man a story, in carnival-barker style, about how and why Steve Brody jumped off the bridge in July 1886 in the form of pictures. Steve Brody had a terrific run of bad luck. He decided he needed a good luck charm, ideally, a rabbit's foot, and the place he hoped to find it was in the country forest.
Homeless Hare
Bugs wakes after a long night to find that a burly construction worker, whom Bugs derisively calls "Hercules", has just shoveled up his rabbit hole near a highrise building being built. Bugs kindly asks the construction worker to put his hole back; the worker seemingly complies but then simply dumps Bugs and the dirt into a dump truck. Bugs angrily shouts "Hey, you big gorilla! Haven't you ever heard of the sanctity of the American home?" before the worker dumps another mound of earth on him and the truck hauls him away.
Case of the Missing Hare
A magician named Ala Bahma is nailing self-promoting posters on every conceivable surface including, as it turns out, a tree in which Bugs Bunny is living. He busts through the poster to go gather some carrots before climbing back into his tree. Ala Bahma puts up another poster, leading Bugs to protest having his home encroached, proclaiming that "there's still such a thing as private property, you know." He continues the protest until the magician apologizes and asks Bugs if he likes blackberry pie. The bunny's expression changes to joy for the moment, as Ala Bahma produces a pie from under a "magic" cloth... until he splatters it in his face, walking away and ridiculing the rabbit. Bugs, with pie-filling and bits of crust dripping down his face, calmly says, "Of course, you realize this means war!"
Acrobatty Bunny
A circus is being set up just above Bugs's rabbit hole, causing much noise and vibrations. The lion cage is set up directly above the hole, and the lion takes deep sniffs (alternatively yanking Bugs towards the hole or throwing him back) to determine that the animal below is Bugs. When the lion (whom Bugs eventually refers to as "Nero") roars again, Bugs comes to the surface to see what's going on, riding an elevator that makes twists and turns. Bugs tries to reason with the lion ("I'm the tenant downstairs, and there's entirely too much noise!"), but soon makes a hasty escape when Nero takes a swipe at him.
Wackiki Wabbit
Two castaways are adrift on a small raft in the middle of the ocean, underscored with "Asleep in the Deep". Delirious from hunger, they start imagining each other, or even their own limbs, as food items. They spot an island in the distance and rush ashore, underscored by "Down Where the Trade Winds Play", where they meet Bugs Bunny. To his friendly greeting, "What's the good word?", they answer "FOOD!" and start after Bugs, who swings away on a vine with a Tarzan yell.
Hare Do
Elmer Fudd is hunting for Bugs Bunny using his "Wabbit Detector," which he purchased from an army surplus store, in the woods and singing "A-hunting I will go, to catch a wong-eared wabbit." At first he sees a caterpillar on the screen, but then he sees Bugs in his sight and says "That's him, that's the carrot-chewing wascal!" As he is searching, Bugs is now guiding Elmer into finding him by telling him that he is getting colder, then getting warmer, and then when he gets to red hot, Elmer falls off the cliff and Bugs is seen coming out of his hole. After an exchange, Elmer gives chase to Bugs. Bugs comes on to a speeding car and hops in. Bugs says, "You gotta get up pretty early to outsmart this rabbit." And Elmer, who is driving, says "I got up at 4:45, heh-heh-heh." Then Bugs is surprised and the car stops at the movie theater where the main chase begins.
Rebel Rabbit
Bugs notes that there are high bounties on various animals, such as $50 for a fox and $75 for a bear, and gets highly offended by the two-cent bounty on rabbits. Bugs mails himself to Washington, DC. "Foist class, you know," he remarks to the postmaster. "I never travel with common bundles!" There, a supercilious game commissioner explains that the bounty is so low because, while foxes and bears are "obnoxious" animals who damage property, "rabbits are perfectly harmless," prompting Bugs to remark, "He don't know me very well, do he?" And when the game commissioner claims that the bounty for rabbits stays at two cents, Bugs vows to prove that "A rabbit can be more obnoxious than anybody!" and storms out, warning "You'll be hearing from me!" and slamming the official's door so hard that the glass in it shatters.
Hillbilly Hare
After having several of their hunting attempts foiled, hillbilly brothers Curt and Punkinhead Martin are determined to get revenge on Bugs Bunny for their humiliation. However, Bugs easily outsmarts them and eventually leads them into a violent square dance involving repeated slapstick comedy gags.
Duck! Rabbit, Duck!
It is January, and Daffy Duck tears down and burns several "Duck Season" signs to keep warm and to stave off the threat of being hunted, stating that he is a duck bent on self preservation.
