Among the most popular and recognizable cartoon characters ever created, Bugs Bunny is that rare animated creation with a personality so vibrant it's hard to believe he's not "real." The carrot-savoring hero of over 175 cartoon shorts and numerous feature films, Bugs has leaped from the screen into the wider world beyond to become a global icon of popular culture and one of the most beloved Looney Tunes characters ever to pop out of a rabbit hole! Included in the brilliantly restored and re-mastered animated triumphs in this eminently looney assortment of favorite Bugs Bunny shorts: Bugs and Duffy's epic argument about which of them is fair game in RABBIT SEASONING; the outrageous operatic antics of THE RABBIT OF SEVILLE, and Bugs running rings around a bad-tempered bovine in BULLY FOR BUGS.

If Bugs Bunny were to direct his signature inquiry--"What's up, doc?"--toward the modern-day Warner Bros. creative team, he wouldn't be far off. For 1001 Rabbit Tales, they've doctored up a batch of classic cartoons featuring the carrot muncher and his bumbling comrades and bundled them, near seamlessly, into a feature-length film. Here's the premise: Bugs and Daffy, both book salesmen, are competing to sell the most copies of a kids' book. Instead of burrowing a beeline to his sales territory (he should have made a left at Albuquerque), Bugs ends up in the castle of Yosemite Sam, here a harem-leading honcho. Sam's pain-in-the-spurs son, Prince Abalaba, needs somebody to read him stories; Bugs, who'd sooner take the job than suffer the alternative, that involving being boiled in oil, signs on.

In this feature-length film combining footage from classic Warner Brothers cartoon shorts with newly animated bridging sequences, Daffy Duck, after having induced laughter in an ailing millionaire and forestalled the millionaire's death for a time (as chronicled in Daffy Dilly (1948), is the beneficiary for the deceased millionaire's assets. But the millionaire's will clearly stipulates that Daffy must use the money for the common good, by providing a service, and should Daffy think of pursuing selfish aims, the millionaire's ghost will "repossess" his millions by making them disappear from Earthly existence. Under the pretense of community service, Daffy opens an exorcism agency and employs Porky Pig, Sylvester Cat, and Bugs Bunny to track and eliminate ghosts, ghouls, and other monsters, while Daffy secretly schemes to use his learned "ghost-busting" talents to rid himself of the millionaire's nagging spirit.
