Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny MovieLibrary of Congress (also known as Friz Freleng's Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie) is a 1981 Looney Tunes film with a compilation of classic Warner Bros. cartoon shorts and animated bridging sequences produced by Friz Freleng, hosted by Bugs Bunny.
== Plot ==
The film begins with a showing of the 1958 award winning cartoon "Knighty Knight Bugs" before going into its opening credits. This is followed up by Bugs narrating how Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies immediately replaced “pantsy” comedy before introducing us to "a warm-hearted humble little intrevoit called Yosemite Sam".
=== Act 1: Satan's Waitin' ===
Yosemite Sam courts Granny with evil intentions for the $50,000,000 she has inherited, but Bugs overhears his scheming and thwarts Sam under the guise of another suitor and later Granny herself. In the end, Sam dies after being crushed by a safe that Bugs drops on him and lands in Hell. Satan offers to give Sam another chance in life provided he sends someone in his place. Sam agrees to this and, as a Roman guard captain, a Saudi Arabian, and in his usual cowboy guise, attempts to kill Bugs. His attempts fail, but when Satan offers him one more chance, Sam denies, stating he'd rather stay in hell than to put up with the rabbit again. Then the first act finishes.
That act is related to a short film entitled, "Devil's Feud Cake". It also shares the same name and concept with an episode of "The Bugs Bunny Show".
=== Act 2: The Unmentionables ===
Under the codename of "Elegant Mess" (a parody of "Eliot Ness"), Bugs is captured by Rocky and his gang, who try to drown him. Bugs promptly escapes that and then infiltrates Rocky's birthday party that night, disguised as a showgirl. Rocky soon sees through Bugs' disguise and, accompanied by Mugsy, chases him into a cereal factory, where Bugs traps the pair on the cereal manufacturing machine. Afterwards, he brings Rocky to court, but thanks to some manipulations and obfuscating legalese by Rocky's sleazy and unethical lawyer at his trial, the mobster is free to go, whereupon he resumes his crimes.
Bugs has problems finding Rocky's new hideout until word breaks out of farmer Porky Pig's golden egg, which was apparently laid by Daffy Duck. Upon reading of this news, Rocky and his men capture Daffy and demand him to lay a golden egg. He eventually does after Rocky shoots him in the head, and is then ordered to lay more to fill up their collection of egg cartons. Bugs and the police suddenly bust in and arrest Rocky's troop. But another law loophole sets Rocky free yet again.
Rocky then captures Tweety Bird and holds him for ransom, and Bugs appoints Sylvester to find Tweety. Sure enough, the pussycat finds Tweety in Rocky's hideout. After several failed attempts by Sylvester to eat Tweety, the police show up and surround Rocky's hideout. Sylvester ends up being hailed as a hero for having seemingly rescued Tweety, and Bugs brings Rocky to justice, but is forced to go to jail with him and Mugsy (who was likely arrested too) because he lost the keys to his handcuffs. The second act then ends.
=== Act 3: The Oswalds ===
Bugs opens the third act with an introduction to the Oswald Awards (a spoof of the Oscars), an award ceremony created by Friz for cartoon characters. He then hosts the ceremony himself, announcing the nominees - the Wolf from "Three Little Bops", Sylvester & Tweety, and himself. During all this, Daffy Duck continually gripes about the fact that he has not been nominated. When Bugs wins the award, Daffy becomes furious and challenges Bugs to a talent showdown (as in "Show Biz Bugs"). Bugs seems to have the audience's favor, but Daffy eventually wins their applause by blowing himself up. Bugs then closes the third act by giving the now-ghostly Daffy the award, with the duck responding "It just goes to show you, you gotta kill yourself to win an Oswald in this town!"
=== "That's all Folks!" ===
After the third and final act, Bugs Bunny appears in the color rings and says the usual "That's all, folks!" signoff, but then Porky Pig tells Bugs that it was his line. Bugs then allows Porky to say it. But as Porky is about to do so, the iris-door (from the movie's opening credits) closes on him, causing him to grumble and say, "D-d-dirty guys" as the film fades out.
== Featured Cartoons ==
The cartoons used to make the film include:
* "The Million Hare" (Opening Color Rings used for "Knighty Knight Bugs" only (with production number 1610), directed by Robert McKimson, the others below are directed by Friz Freleng)
* "Knighty Knight Bugs"
=== Act 1: Satan's Waitin' ===
* "Hare Trimmed"
* "Satan's Waitin'" (brief snippet of Satanic bulldogs originally barking at Sylvester in this clip.)
* "Roman Legion-Hare"
* "Sahara Hare"
* "Wild and Woolly Hare"
* "Devil's Feud Cake"
=== Act 2: The Unmentionables ===
* "The Unmentionables"
* "Golden Yeggs"
* "Catty Cornered"
=== Act 3: The Oswald Awards ===
* "Three Little Bops"
* "Birds Anonymous"
* "High Diving Hare"
* "Show Biz Bugs"
Also, clips from "Little Red Rodent Hood", "Speedy Gonzales", and "A Pizza Tweety-Pie" are featured in the introduction.
== Censorship ==
* When this film aired on The Family Channel in the late-1990s, scenes from "Golden Yeggs" were completely cut.
* When The Disney Channel aired this movie, the climax of "Show Biz Bugs" where Daffy drinks the dangerous chemicals was so drastically edited that the end result made it look like Daffy exploded after presenting the can of nitroglycerin.http://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-s.aspx
*The version of "Wild and Woolly Hare" shown is the version from the TV special "How Bugs Bunny Won the West" where, instead of Bugs shooting Yosemite Sam in the face while trying to shoot the can he threw in the air, he plugs the can's bullet holes with corks. This was also the censored version used when "Wild and Woolly Hare" aired on Merrie Melodies: Starring Bugs Bunny & Friends (syndicated version).
== Notes ==
* The working title was "The Daffy Daffy Daffy World of Bugs Bunny".https://comics.ha.com/itm/a/322340-46268.s
* The beginning and ending of "Catty Cornered" use PAL audio, while the middle of the cartoon (starting with Tweety's line "nafty old kidnappers!" to the sequence when Sylvester tumbles down the stairs after the explosion of the dynamite in the can, which he thought was Tweety hiding inside) is NTSC audio.
* The (1999) VHS version includes a free red Bugs Bunny picture frame on the back of the cover.
