One Carroter in Search of an Artist

One Carroter in Search of an Artist is the first segment of the twenty-fourth Season 2 episode of New Looney Tunes.
== Plot ==
The segment opens with a Star Wars parody: Bugs Bunny is riding a boar-like creature through a sandstorm on Tatooine, with the mission of delivering important information to the Rebel base.
Suddenly, the sandstorm subsides leaving Bugs and his mount in an empty white space, which zooms out to reveal the controls to a cartoon-making program. Bugs immediately questions the cartoonist about what is going on, and requests for something to work with. The cartoonist responds by replacing the mount with a giant snake, which hisses at Bugs before leaving.
Irritated, Bugs pulls out a copy of the script and begins reciting it; as he is doing so, the cartoonist seemingly plays along by drawing a backstage chair and a glass of lemonade for the rabbit. But as Bugs reads "which is where we have our plot hole", the cartoonist draws a pothole underneath him, making him irritated again. Bugs starts chastising the cartoonist, who responds by turning down the volume until Bugs is muted entirely. The cartoonist then maxes out the volume right when Bugs yells "AMATEUR!", hurting his ears, then puts it back to normal.
Bugs promptly orders the cartoonist to animate something so they don't both lose their jobs. The cartoonist then crudely draws a dancing rabbit next to Bugs; Bugs doesn't approve, especially when the animations suddenly freaks out and gives him a big lick. Bugs tries to reason with the cartoonist before emphasizing that he himself never gets a break. His complaining gives the impression of him "being a baby" and he gets infant attire and accessories drawn on him; he doesn't notice until a pacifier is placed in his mouth, at which point he throws away the getup.
Bugs then asks the cartoonist, if they want to work off-script, how they envision the cartoon. The cartoonist responds by inserting a space setting; not only does Bugs comment that the setting is "a little overdone", he is assaulted by astral bodies and satellites flying by. The setting is removed; Bugs asks for something more "down to Earth" and gets a volcano setting - with Bugs standing in midair over the volcano's mouth. He quickly requests something safer, and the setting switches to the rabbit tied up on a set of railroad tracks. ("How is this safe?!") Luckily for Bugs, an error occurs right before the train hits him, and the cartoonist is forced to reboot the computer.
At this point, Bugs is fed up and demands to be taken back to his rabbit hole. The cartoonist bring up an image of it that is much to small - but that doesn't stop the cartoonist from trying to stuff Bugs inside. The cartoonist then resizes the image to cover the whole screen, which resizes Bugs as well. The cartoonist then erases Bugs' body leaving only his head, before redrawing the body at normal size.....which has difficulty supporting the now-giant head.
The cartoonist start repeatedly redrawing Bugs with enlarged body parts, until Bugs is instead redrawn with his head missing, which quickly goes noticed. The cartoonist draws the heads of other Looney Tunes characters (first Foghorn Leghorn, then Porky Pig with a "matching" obese torso, and finally Sylvester) before finally drawing Bugs' normal head; Bugs' face is drawn separately and off to the side, before being put back. 
Bugs refuses to leave until the cartoon is over, "so let's make a cartoon that people want to see!" The cartoonist promptly switches the style to a black-and-white "retro" style, then a high-tech "modern" style, before going back to the original cartoon. Bugs quickly snatches the stylus and breaks it over his knee; and ad for replacement appears within seconds, which Bugs immediately tears to pieces. He then realizes they're running out of time and need to "move things along", and is promptly sent riding a rocket firework into a big wall - the cartoonist even goes as far as to replay the scene, then the impact repeatedly, before finally erasing the set.
Visibly stressed out, Bugs pleads for the cartoonist to at the very least give him a calm, serene, happy ending; the cartoonist then inserts a country setting, a banjo, and a tree stump. Bugs is satisfied - until a butterfly finds the scene "boring" and starts attacking him. Bugs is left frightened for his life, and everything is discarded into the trash can.
The cartoon zooms out revealing the cartoonist is Daffy Duck, who imitates Bugs' line "Ain't I a stinker?".
== Notes ==
* The short is inspired by the classics "Duck Amuck" and "Rabbit Rampage", and serves as a modern update of both cartoons, this time using a computer tablet as opposed to pencil and paper.
* When Bugs' head gets messed-up with the heads of other Looney Tunes characters, character heads (and voices) of both Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig and Sylvester could be seen (and heard).
* Bugs' "retro" form is modeled after the rabbit in Ben Hardaway's 1939 short "Hare-um Scare-um", the first cartoon where the rabbit that would become Bugs appears with grey fur (and the last which Hardaway would work with the rabbit before leaving Warner Bros. for Walter Lantz's studio at Universal) In addition, the sequence is in black-and-white as a homage to his debut cartoon "Porky's Hare Hunt".
* Ace Bunny from Loonatics Unleashed makes a cameo in this episode as Bugs' "modern" form. Bugs' remark "Okay, now you're just messing with me!" in this scene is very likely a direct jab at the negative reception Loonatics Unleashed had from both critics, audiences and even Warner Bros. themselves alike for straying too far from the original Looney Tunes cartoons it is based on.
* Bugs knocking on the screen numerous times demanding to be let out at the end could possibly be a reference to the ending of "Box Office Bunny" where both Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd, who got trapped in a slasher horror flick, do the same action demanding to be let out of the cinema screen.
