Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Freleng recycled this premise twice: first with 'Wideo Wabbit' (TV parody), then 'Baton Bunny' (orchestra chaos). The man loved torturing Elmer.

Insight

Bogart voiced himself in zero cartoons—Dave Barry's impression was so good that audiences assumed it was him. Warner Bros celeb roasts ran on plausible deniability.
