Baton Bunny: Baton Bunny is a Bugs Bunny cartoon of the "Looney Tunes" series, produced in 1958 and released in January 1959.  It shows Bugs conducting an orchestra - with a fly bothering him.  Bugs conducts, and in part, plays the overture to "Ein Morgen, ein Mittag und Abend in Wien" (A Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna)", a composition by Franz von Suppé.  Though Mel Blanc was credited for vocal characterizations, there is no dialogue in the short; the only vocal effect made was when an audience member is heard coughing.  This is the third and last Bugs Bunny cartoon (the first two being "A Corny Concerto" and "Rhapsody Rabbit", although he says three lines in the latter) where Bugs is silent.  Or, nearly silent; at one point, he 'shushes' the brass.

Premiering on CBS on November 22, 1976, and consisting entirely of new animation, this prime time TV special represented Bugs Bunny and company's first foray into prime time television since the early 1960s.  "Carnival of the Animals" was purposely cast in the successful mold of Jones' own earlier musical cartoons – "Rabbit of Seville", "Long-Haired Hare" and "Baton Bunny" – and set the familiar showbiz rivalry between Bugs and Daffy against the orchestral backdrop of musician Michael Tilson Thomas, in a performance based on the music of Camille Saint-Saëns and the poetry of Ogden Nash.

Yosemite Sam: Yosemite Sam is an American animated cartoon character in the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of cartoons produced by Warner Bros.  Animation.

He is commonly depicted as an extremely aggressive gunslinging prospector, outlaw, pirate, or cowboy with a hair-trigger temper and an intense hatred of rabbits, Bugs particularly.  In cartoons with non-Western themes, he uses various aliases, including "Chilkoot Sam" (named for the Chilkoot Trail; Sam pronounces it "Chilli-koot") in "14 Carrot Rabbit" (although in the same cartoon, when he tries to gain Bugs Bunny's trust, he cleverly invents the alias "Square-deal Sam"), "Riff Raff Sam" in "Sahara Hare", "Sam Schultz" in "Big House Bunny", "Seagoin' Sam" in "Buccaneer Bunny", "Shanghai Sam" in "Mutiny on the Bunny", and "Sam Von Schamm the Hessian" in "Bunker Hill Bunny" and many others.
