"Kill the Wabbit!"

50 Years since What's Opera Doc was screened for the first time. Chuck Jones' masterpiece holds up rather well. This is the only cartoon I can remember my father laughing uncontrolably at. "Kill the Wabbit" still gets most people laughing or at least smiling with a few extra Jones-like curly-ques in the cheeks.
Mel Blanc is also in fine form, singing in character, adding Bugs' humorous Bronx brogue to crown this operetta's place in film history.
