Bunny and Claude

**Bunny and Claude** are two cartoon characters who appear in the *Dreamtoons* franchise from DreamWorks Animation. They were created by director Robert McKimson and writer Cal Howard and starred 130 cartoons from 1968 to 1980. Most of their cartoons were directed by McKimson until his death in 1977 and by TBD for the 1978-1980 cartoons.

## Info

Bunny and Claude are a couple of robber rabbits who are usually seen as a parody to the real-life bank robber couple Bonnie and Clyde. They are a well-dressed rabbit male (Claude) and female (Bunny) duo who rob grocery stores and make off with carrots. In most cartoons, the pair constantly outwit a dumb, fat human sheriff who usually pursues them in his police cruiser and tries to arrest them, even though the gangster rabbits always foil his plans.

Some cartoons usually follow a different formula which Bunny and Claude are usually hired by criminal figures to steal something, but unlike their cartoons with the Sheriff (which they usually get the winning hand), most of their plans usually backfire at them and the cartoons usually end with the rabbits being either jailed or forced by a character they encountered before to clean the mess they caused.

In the final years of the classic shorts (from 1977 to 1980) and current media, the Bunny and Claude cartoons were changed to have Bunny and Claude still stealing, but also being in charge of ruining the plans of all kinds of really dangerous criminals, having a neutral relationship with the police.

## Origin and Development

Initially in the late 1960s, Bunny and Claude were originally created for Warner Bros. under the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation asset. TBD

## Trivia

* While the first two Bunny and Claude shorts (which were produced by Warner Bros.) are fully owned by DreamWorks following McKimson's move to DW-Go Fish Cartoon Studio, Warner Bros remains the US home video rights to the two shorts.
* Like other Warner Bros. Seven Arts cartoon, the Bunny and Claude shorts were initially animated poorly due to the use of limited animation, while in later cartoons, the animation was improved well.
