Description

What was it like to work in Termite Terrace back in the day? It was crazy, creative - and out of it came Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and more cartoon icons. Bugs Bunny Superstar is the you-had-to-be-there (and now you can be) tale of those days, hosted by ace animator and droll raconteur Robert Clampett, augmented by interviews with drawing-board legends Friz Freleng and Tex Avery, narrated by Orson Welles, and including nine complete cartoons that are prime examples of the collaborative efforts of Warner cartoonists, ink-and-painters, effects artists and others. "No idea was too outrageous," Clampett says. Seeing rare home movies of the animators as they act out ideas adds to that sense of unrestrained creativity.

    In 1940, with the release of "A Wild Hare" (one of nine cartoons featured in this documentary), a certain wabbit made his screen debut and made fans of moviegoers of all ages. The theatrical success of Bugs and his cohorts (Daffy Duck, etc.) paved the way for an even more successful children's TV career beginning in the mid-1950's (even though, as Orson Welles narrates, the filmmakers "made their cartoons [primarily] for grownups"). In the mid-1970's Bugs returned to theaters in this not-to-be-missed retrospective seen by children and nostalgic adults alike. Other cartoon highlights include "Hair-Raising Hare" (with Bugs being chased by a red monster in an evil scientist's castle) and "A Corny Concero" (a spoof of Walt Disney's "Fantasia").
