Bugs Bunny: Rabbit Transit Rabbit Transit is an 8-minute Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng, released in 1947, and starring Bugs Bunny and Cecil Turtle. The title is a play on "Rapid Transit". Cecil and Bugs had previously raced each other in 1941's Tortoise Beats Hare and 1943's Tortoise Wins By a Hare. The two had a final match up in Friz Freleng's cartoon, Rabbit Transit, released on May 10, 1947. Unlike Tortoise Wins by a Hare, this cartoon presumes that Bugs and Cecil have never met before now.

Bugs Bunny: Slick Hare Slick Hare is a 1947 Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng. It's famous for its parodying of the Mocambo club in Los Angeles — in the cartoon referred to as 'The Mocrumbo'. Mel Blanc plays Bugs, Arthur Q. Bryan is Elmer, and impressionist Dave Barry provides the voice of Bogart. When Humphrey Bogart comes to the Mocrumbo for dinner, waiter Elmer Fudd needs to serve fried rabbit in 20 minutes - or else. When looking in the kitchen, Elmer finds Bugs Bunny - but Bugs is more interested in having fun with the celebrities than being served for dinner! The title is yet another pun on "hair", from a time when hair slicked-down by oil was a popular fashion style for men. Besides playing up many of the famous celebrities of the 1940s, this cartoon is also noted for giving viewers an 'inside look' at the kitchen of the Mocambo. The problem is, the view wasn't that flattering. According to a DVD commentary for this cartoon, one of the writers, Michael Maltese, managed to get a look at the kitchen of the Mocambo, and wound up drawing what he saw - including grease dripping from the refrigerators and vegetables lying around on the ground. Needless to say, as Michael put it in the DVD commentary, "I almost got my ass in a sling!" for this. It should also be noted that while the cartoon plays on Bogart's famous 'tough guy' image, it also pays homage to the fact that Bogart was a softer man in real life, as he was more interested in Lauren Bacall's needs than resorting to violence.
