The Essential Bugs Bunny Collection - the newest DVD release from Warner Home Video - October 12

Bugs Bunny, one of animation’s most recognizable characters is celebrated on The Essential Bugs Bunny Collection, the newest DVD release from Warner Home Video’s (WHV) Looney Tunes library. Available in stores October 12, 2010, this title celebrates Bugs Bunny’s superstardom through a set of key classic shorts, many of which mark essential milestones in the character’s career. This DVD set includes 20 Looney Tunes classics on two discs (almost four hours of content) and will retail for $26.99 SRP.

In A Wild Hare, viewers are introduced to the “wascally wabbit” who says “Eh, what’s up doc?” in his recognizable “Brooklyn-Bronx” voice.

Carefully selected for this collection are classic shorts that define Bugs Bunny and were specifically chosen to showcase his interaction with other notable characters such as Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian and Daffy Duck.

The Essential Bugs Bunny Collection is a comprehensive compilation that features some of the best of Bugs Bunny’s body of work. It consists of theatrical shorts, television episodes and specials. How Bugs Bunny Won The West, Bugs Bunny’s Wild World Of Sports and Hare and Loathing In Las Vegas are new to DVD.

“Viewers will be completely engaged with this unique collection,” said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation and Partner Brands Marketing. He added, “We took care to select a series of cartoons which show off Bugs Bunny’s finest moments. Bugs Bunny passed through the hands of some of the most gifted animators in cartoon history, each of whom put his own distinctive mark on the character. This is a must-have-title for anyone who loves great animation.”

DVD Special Features Include:
* Ain’t I a Stinker – This new featurette is a mini-documentary that details Bugs Bunny’s vast career.
* Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers – Available for the first time in its original uncut form, this 1990 short was originally released on the Space Jam DVD in a cut version.
* Bug’s Bunny Bustin’ Out All Over – Emmy nominated TV Special.
* The Carnival of the Animals – 1976 television special set against an orchestral backdrop which was directed by Chuck Jones.

Bugs Bunny was “born” in Brooklyn, New York. He was created by Tex Avery (who directed A Wild Hare) and Robert McKimson (who was responsible for creating the definitive Bugs Bunny character design) as well as other animators. Some of Bugs’ other fathers include Chuck Jones, Ben Hardaway, and Bob Clampett. A AAaaccording to Mel Blanc, the character’s original voice actor, Bugs Bunny has a Flatbush accent, which is an equal blend of the Bronx and Brooklyn dialects. His catchphrase is a casual “Eh…what’s up doc?” and is usually said while munching on a carrot.
