Alphabet Is Easy

***Alphabet Is Easy*** is a 2004 *Looney Tunes* direct-to-video compilation, with a framing sequence starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. This Video Is Directed By Mary Chapman.

## Segments

As the animated opening logo fades, Bugs Bunny exits the alleyway next to the Great Escape Water Lodge, unnoticed by Daffy Duck. The camera follows Daffy as he walks around the corner, muttering to himself. Daffy notices the viewer and asks if they've seen Bugs.

Daffy continues walking down Six Flags Great Adventure until he reaches Bugs Bunny National Park, where he bumps into Bugs and presents his problem: he has to learn the alphabet. Bugs touts his patented method, which will have him going from A to Z in less than a month, but Daffy stresses that he needs to learn it today. He explains that he's fed up with that crazy Tina Russo, who keeps finishing the alphabet for him whenever he gets stuck. He starts to recite the alphabet, and sure enough, Tina pops in to finish the rest. Daffy begs for Bugs to help, as do Tweety Bird, Porky Pig, Gabi, Lexine, and a crowd of other kids. Bugs Bunny agrees, but he adds that he can't make any promises.

Bugs tests Daffy for "alphabet-readiness" by having him repeat some nonsense phrases. Then, he invites everyone to know that "Alphabet Is Fun" with him. Encouraged, Daffy Duck attempts to say the alphabet by himself, but he only gets as far as C. Bugs calls in the "rectangle crew" (Lexine and Gabi) to bring in the rectangle, which is framed and decorated with various letters. As part of his method, Bugs instructs Daffy to look into the rectangle, which will reveal the next letter...

"Duck Amuck"

Daffy feels good knowing those first four letters. Bugs introduces the next part of his method, "alphabet exercises." Gabi leads the others in doing the exercises, which include rolling their heads around and using their bodies to make letters. Daffy Duck feels the alphabet energy surging through him and rushes into saying it again, but he falls apart after F. Bugs directs him to look at the rectangle again.

"Gopher Broke"

Daffy tries to say the alphabet again, and he gets up to I before he proclaims that he can't go on. Bugs helps him out by having the kids demonstrate actions that start with the next letter. Daffy is still stuck, so Bugs points him to the rectangle while everyone makes the "juh" sound.

a Clip From "Job Switching"

Daffy Duck is given a Pumpkin Costume and a Candy. Bugs Bunny tells Daffy Duck to pretend he's a Halloween Pumpkin, because then, he'd not only be able to say the alphabet, she could sing it too.

"Trick Or Treat"

Feeling very "alphabet-y," Daffy tries reciting the alphabet again, but stops at M. Bugs notes that he just said the "half-abet," and Daffy is showered with confetti and balloons. Now, he's ready to progress to the second half of the alphabet. Daffy names the next couple letters before breaking for some **p**orridge, conveniently placed on the piano, and everyone else brings out some snacks. It dawns on Daffy Duck that all of their snacks start with the letter P, but then he catches on that this wasn't by coincidence and the kids had planned it. Bugs replies "The method is always at work." Daffy Duck gets further along the alphabet, but can't remember what comes after S, so he looks at the rectangle again.

"Tweetie Pie"

Daffy tries to think of what comes after T, and does a take when Bugs mentions "Apes."

"Apes Of Wrath"

Daffy Duck has newfound determination to say the alphabet, and everyone thinks this will be the big moment. However, as Daffy starts, he stammers and pauses at E. "I've regressed!" he cries. Bugs comforts him, saying that lots of kids have trouble completing the alphabet. Bugs even leads an alphabet support group, and lets Daffy join. Daffy still implores to know "What comes after E?!"

"Fool Coverage"

Bugs starts the meeting of the Looney Tunes Alphabet Support Group, and he gives Daffy Duck the floor. Daffy Duck lays out his troubles in song, performing the Song From "You Ought To Be In Pictures".

Exhausted from singing, Porky and Tweety beg Bugs to do the "relaxation" portion of his method. Bugs has everyone relax their head and arms, and he finds that Daffy has fallen asleep. Bugs wonders what he's dreaming about. The screen dissolves to...

"What's Opera, Doc?"

Daffy wakes up from his dream, but he can't remember what he saw. Porky Pig mentions that when he tries to remember, he goes backwards through his mind. Daffy Duck recalls that the last thing he saw was the letter Z, and before long, he unconsciously says the entire alphabet backwards. When Bugs points this out, Daffy Duck feels assured that he can say the alphabet forwards as well. He thanks everyone for their help and goes off to find Tina Russo. Bugs is worried since Daffy technically hasn't said the alphabet from A to Z before, so he and the others follow him.

Daffy Duck runs into Tina Russo and tells her not to interrupt, or "help," him while he recites the alphabet. Everyone cheers on Daffy Duck as he begins, and Tina Russo is shushed every time she tries to butt in. Daffy occasionally gets stuck on a letter, but he recalls a previous segment (shown in a thought balloon) to help him continue. He dramatically finishes at Z, and the crowd roars with cheers. Tina is impressed, admitting that even she couldn't learn the alphabet that quickly. Daffy tells her about his process, which leads to Bugs and the others reprising "Alphabet Is Fun," which continues under the rolling credits. Once that's done, everyone waves "Goodbye!"
