Bugs Bunny Title Art

Being a life-time " title cards and title arts " nuts , it was inevitable for me to do such a post one day !

The Bugs Bunny opening title art sequences are some of the finest that WB ever made .
From " The Heckling Hare " trough the Forties and Fifties right to the Sixties , the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes starring Bugs were introuduced not only by the headshot of the bunny ( the headshot of the main character was a title art 's characteristic of many studios , expecially Disney ) but also by the wabbit himself sitting on the WB shield or on his name written on the screen before the appearence of the title cards .
For a short period , Bugs even replaced Porky Pig in the Looney Tunes closing title art !
I post some pics that , in my opinion , are not only the most charming ones , but are also able to show how the character of Bugs Bunny graphically involved . Enyoy !

















































I higly recommend to save these pics on your PC and to watch them all in sequence , one after the other . The effect will be great !

    I notice that the "Bugs Bunny in" titles show the different designs the directers used in their cartoons.

  2. Ouch! It hurts my eyes! The colors on your Warner captures is WAY over saturated. Do those all come from the DVDs?

    See ya
