Box-Office Bunny

Box-Office Bunny

Box-Office Bunny, released in 1991, is a 5-minute Looney Tunes short film starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd. It was shown in theaters alongside The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter, as well as on the subsequent home media releases for the film. This was Warner Bros.'s first Bugs Bunny theatrical release since 1964's False Hare. It was issued to commemorate Bugs' 50th anniversary and is included as a special feature on the DVD for The Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie. Jeff Bergman voiced the three main characters, thus becoming the first person besides the legendary Mel Blanc, who had died two years previously, to provide Bugs' and Daffy's voices. The short was directed by Darrell Van Citters, who went on to direct the first two "Hare Jordan" Bugs Bunny/Michael Jordan commercials for Nike.

[The Cinimenium, a massive multiplex theatre, is quickly constructed over Bugs Bunny's hole. Bugs hears explosions from the film "The Battle for Brooklyn" and burrows into the auditorium where the film is being shown.]

It's matter if it's dangerous, huh? I was born in Brooklyn, I dropped out of school in Brooklyn, and now I'm gonna be ready to die for Brooklyn.

Movie actress:

Eh, what's up, doc?

Elmer Fudd:
Excuse me, but you have to be qwiet ow - Hey, I didn't see you come in. If you haven't got a ticket, I must ask you to weave.

[outside the back of the theater] Seven bucks for a movie! The price for an evening of puerile entertainment is preposterous! I could better spend an evening in the library, which is why I always carry this. [reveals a library card, which he uses to open the back door and sneak in. However, he collides with Bugs and Elmer.]

Elmer Fudd:

Daffy Duck:
"Wabbit?" Pardon, mon frere, but this is the rabbit you seek. I'm no rabbit.

Bugs Bunny:
Well, if he's no rabbit, then where are his ears?

Daffy Duck:
Yeah, Einstein, if I'm no rabbit, then where are my- Oh no, nuh-uh. End of discussion. I've come too far. I'm above all that now.

Bugs Bunny:
But not above sneaking into movie theaters.

Daffy Duck:
Yeah, but not above sneak- Are you going to stand around jabbering all day? Catch this guy!

[Both begin chasing Bugs]

Daffy Duck:
Attaboy, Robespierre! Capture the scoundrel! Let justice prevail!

[They run into another auditorium, but all three accidentally step on chewing gum and get stuck. They begin gum-dancing, whereupon Bugs escapes. Daffy discovers this, but Elmer doesn't notice and continues dancing.]

Daffy Duck:
[slaps Elmer] Knock it off, Baryshnikov. He's getting away.

[Bugs gives Elmer a medium soda, still larger than Elmer]

Bugs Bunny:
Would you like genuine, artificial, imitation, butter-flavor on your popcorn?

Daffy Duck:
Look, my little gluttonous friend does anything here appear to be out of the ordinary?

Elmer Fudd:

Daffy Duck:
Hey! We're in pictures!

Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd:
[simultaneously]  Let me out of here!  Wet me out of hewe!

Daffy Duck Wah-ha-ha-ha!
