==Production==
The cartoons are followed by a 15-minute compilation featuring the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, culled from 10 cartoons.
The cartoons and bridging scenes were directed by Charles M. Jones, written by Michael Maltese, and backgrounds and animation contributed by Maurice Noble and Ben Washam.
==Plot==
Bugs Bunny, while giving a tour of his home, talks about some of the famous rivalries, battles, and chases from the Looney Tunes shorts, which serves as introductions to footage from the classic short subjects. The final segment of the film consists of an extended chase sequence between Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.
==That's all folks sequences==
A running gag is established at the film's beginning; Chuck Jones had put the "That's all, Folks!" card in the wrong place, which Bugs corrects as "That's NOT all, Folks!". This happens again at the end; "That's all, Folks!" was being written again, but Bugs stops it and makes it rewrite as "That's not quite all, Folks!", with "not quite" in red and underlined, before the credits roll. Right at the end, just before the Warner Communications Company logo, the same catchphrase appears but written as "That's really all, Folks!". On top of the logo is Bugs, and he says, "Eat your heart out, Burt Reynolds!"
