		But if that hadn't been so, if all the hundreds of cartoons that were turned out over the decades were complete crap, "What's Opera, Doc?" would come and give the studio world-wide renown.
		"Rabbit of Seville" seems to be in the same league.
		Nobody had seen anything like "Rabbit of Seville" before and nobody has seen anything similar since.

		With his baby-like enunciation and tremulous voice that seems always on the verge of tears (provided by the inimitable Arthur Q. Bryant), Elmer is the hunter who can't really stomach the kill.
		The pair played off each other so well that they were cast against each other in over twenty cartoons, including The Wabbit Who Came To Supper, Bugs Bonnets, the classic Rabbit of Seville, and Robot Rabbit, in which Elmer buys a robot to rid his carrot garden of the gray pest.
		But Elmer never really met trouble until he tried to figure out whether it's duck or rabbit season in a trio of Chuck Jones shorts that formed a trilogy of brilliant comic dialog and animation.

		Probably the most famous concerns an "uppity wabbit" trying to elude a hunter with a speech impediment by masquerading as a barber, of course.

		The new issue begins with a number of short bits, including two surprisingly moving autobiographical pieces: one about a visit home in March 1999 where he learns that his motherâs cancer has come out of remission, and one about his elderly neighbors.
		The remainder of the first half of this issue is composed of what appear to be scraps, leftovers, and brief experiments: we get things like an (intentionally?) carelessly-cropped six-panel strip of a hopping bunny rabbit, and a sketch of a girl in a field holding a kettle and a skull.
		These shards donât contain the power of the two autobiographical pieces÷ they are basically forays into the mundane ÷but I donât feel that their inclusion here is gratuitous.

		They also introduced classical music to new generations through their loving reenactments of Rossini's The Barber of Seville (as "The Rabbit of Seville") and, amazingly, the entire Ring cycle (condensed to seven minutes in "What's Opera, Doc?").
		Not as expansive as the two volumes of the Carl Stalling Project, Bugs Bunny on Broadway nevertheless is a fine collection that concentrates on an oft-overlooked legacy of Bugs Bunny and company.
		On tracks like "The Rabbit of Seville" the switch from the original soundtrack to the modern re-recording is both jarring and unsatisfying.

	classical music - andante - what's opera, doc?
		But beyond these early associations, I also suspect that Jones saw a larger parallel between classical composers' use of rhythm, melody, or harmony to engage a listener's sense of expectation, and his own aesthetic, which uses visual effects in similar ways to play upon a viewer's sense of what is coming next.
		Consider, for instance, The Rabbit of Seville (1950), in which the overture to Rossini's Barber provides the scaffolding for an unforgettable contest in which musical ideas — lyrical melodies, sudden orchestral syncopations, towering Rossinian crescendo — are translated into snipping scissors, flying vegetables, spinning barber chairs, and a burlesque arms race.
		If The Rabbit of Seville reveals the comedic possibilities of Rossini's overture as pantomime, What's Opera, Doc?

		Of particular interest to me was the audio commentary by Stan Freberg for the cartoon "Rabbit's Kin." (In which Freberg voices the unforgettable Pete Puma).

		Some of the highlights include Rabbit Seasoning, a cartoon in which Daffy Duck is going out of his way to see Bugs Bunny shot but dull witted hunter Elmer Fudd only to end up repeatedly getting shot himself.

		While I’ve always enjoyed the adventures of that wascally wabbit, and his ability to turn the tables on every adversary- the hilarious exploits of Daffy Duck have always held more appeal for me. Still, every cartoon on disc one is an absolute gem, especially personal faves Rabbit Seasoning and Rabbit Of Seville.
		Both The Scarlet Pumpernickel and Duck Dodgers In The 24½th Century find Daffy at his self-important best, while Scaredy Cat is an underrated Porky gem, one in which Sylvester actually manages steal a good part of the show.

		However, some viewers questioned why other great cartoons like Rabbit of Seville and such were deleted.
		Amongst the classic cartoons is some new animation of Bugs from Chuck Jones recalling his exploits with Daffy, Marvin Martian, Elmer Fudd(whom he referred to as E. Elmer Fudd) and Wile E. Coyote whom also has a confrontation with The Road Runner in a 20 minute montage which was also great as well.
		Nor is the material always shown to its best advantage: Long Haired Hare has, unfortunately, been cut, and combining footage from several Road Runner shorts into a 20-minute montage weakens the pacing Jones built into the individual films.
