Created for the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Vol. 1" DVD box set.

Quotes
Leonard Maltin: What I find so interesting about Bugs Bunny is that not only wasn't he hatched overnight, but almost every director and writer team and every lead animator at the studio had a crack at this wacky rabbit character, so that by the time Bugs really came to be the character we now know and recognize, he was a collaborative effort. And maybe that's why he was so good.

"Behind the Tunes: Bugs - A Rabbit for All Seasonings" is basically a series of interviews with the creators of the Looney Tunes and children of deceased animators. They talk about how Bugs Bunny got created and how he became the most popular cartoon character of all time. Although he's certainly my favorite, there wasn't much in this mini-documentary that I couldn't have guessed on my own (in other words, I predicted what was up, doc). And they could have talked about how the cartoons have declined in quality recently. Good for hardcore fans, but most people probably won't take much interest in it. Available on "Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Vol 1".
