I received several letters from parents and young kids about my opinion of whether or not the Bugs Bunny cartoons were appropriate for young kids. Parents clearly stated that they don’t want kids watching it but wanted to get another opinion. On the other hand, children wanted to watch it, but there parents wouldn’t let them. Kind of rebelling against each other, don’t you think? Even though Bugs Bunny is quite funny and unique, I realized after watching a few episodes that it isn’t that appropriate
Bach, Beethoven, and Bugs Bunny? I can remember being a young boy, spending several hours throughout the days watching cartoons. I can definitely relate to classical music being played in these cartoons, like the mentioned classic, Bugs Bunny. “Bugs Bunny was quite the concert musician”(“Classical Masterpieces Turn Up”). I vaguely remember Bugs Bunny attempting to play classical music tunes, but I did not know they were classicals at a young age. The music I was hearing contributed to everything
Panopticism, as defined by Michel Foucault in his book Discipline and Punish, is (as proposed by Jeremy Bentham) a circular building with an observation tower in the centre of an open space surrounded by an outer wall. The idea behind this social theory that subjects, being watched by an upper power, always have either complete freedom or none at all. How can they have both you might ask? The subjects cannot see if someone is or isn’t watching them, therefore they should always act at there best
people. Looney Tunes now airs on Cartoon Network under the tittle, “The Looney Tunes Show.” After so many years of entertainment, many changes have been made to keep this show entertaining for everyone. Looney Tunes had a revival in 1979 in which The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner movie was featured. This restarted the franchise into what we love now. “While it is true that some of the cartoons have outdated themselves with reference to forgotten Hollywood celebrities, films, or early television series, most have
Television: How It Effects Children Is television a positive force in the lives of young children? That is the question many parents find themselves asking. They come home from work to see their child glued to the TV not willing to move for anything. What these parents do not realize is that many problems may occur from their children watching excessive amounts of TV. Problems such as loss of creativity , increased amounts of laziness and sudden violent attitudes and/or actions may result. Creativity
who left Marvel productions and returned to Warner as executive producer. Before leaving his own company that after became Marvel production, Freleng produced new animation for “The Looney Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie” (1981). In the years 1982 and 1983 they produced two new movies called Bugs Bunny’s 3rd Movie and Daffy Duck’s Fantastic Island. Those films were composed by veterans from the golden age of WB cartoons, including writers such as John Dunn and Dave Detiege. By the year 1986, Freleng

What is a trickster? A trickster typically breaks the creeds of the divine or nature, most of the time this is doomed maliciously, but sometimes with positive results. More frequently than not, the rule-breaking will capture the pattern of tricks, or thievery. Tricksters are generally cunning, foolish, or perhaps both. They are usually very funny even when they are scared. In diverse cultures the trickster and humanizing hero are often merged in one. Tricksters are particular to their own cultures
The most common name in the world is Mohammed. The word "samba" means "to rub navels together." The international telephone dialing code for Antarctica is 672. The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher. Mel Blanc (the voice of Bugs Bunny) was allergic to carrots. Until 1965, driving was done on the left-hand side on roads in Sweden. The conversion to right-hand was done on a weekday at 5pm. All traffic stopped as people switched sides. This time and day were chosen to prevent accidents
Television Violence Violence is one of the most primary and controversial issues in today’s society. And true that violence is on the rise. A major concern for many parents is the violence within television shows and movies, and the effect on children’s aggression. I particularly do not believe that violence in television affects children’s aggression, but who am I to say such a thing, for I am not a qualified psychologist. But I have many reasons for my accusation and references to back it
Trickster tales have been told throughout time to convey culturally important beliefs in an entertaining way. This is demonstrated by highlighting similarities and differences in the trickster tales “How Stories Came to Earth,” “Coyote Steals Fire,” and “Master Cat.” While each of these stories share many characteristics such as anthropomorphism, utilizing cunning and deceit to achieve their goals, and sharing their gain with others. “How Stories came to Earth” is a anthropomorphism tale about a
Greek Myths Dear Rebecca, I am writing to you today to tell you about a few wonderful myths that I have read. I feel that they would interest you as much as they did me. I will give you a brief summary on each so that they will be a little more familiar to you if you decide to read them at some time in the future. The first story I read was the tale of Hermes. Born on Mount Cyllene to his mother Maia, Hermes was an astonishing child. His growth was equally astonishing for he grew at a

I will discuss the mental skills involved in the movie Space Jam for this paper. I’m addressing concentration and leadership as I believe these categories played a significant role in the development of this movie. In summary, Space Jam portrays an amusement park owner who intends to bring new attractions to his park by employing Looney Tune characters. He is tricked into having a basketball competition as a wager for their compliance. The amusement park owner has underlings who will compete in the
The Trickster Karl Jung's explanation for the archetypes that surface in cultural and religious literature is that they are the product of what he calls the collective unconsciousness. That thread of consciousness that connects all human beings and cultures around the world. Yet it is not visible to the naked eye, one must look for the signs of it by researching cultures who are long gone and comparing them to each other and our own. Studying it reminds us that all humans are bound together by
Childhood was a very interesting time of life for me. Through everything that I had gone through growing up, still I always remembered the story tales that had been read to me over the years. Although The Three Little Bears and The Three Little Pigs were different stories, they both contained few similarities as well as many differences. The similarities in these two stories would be the significance of the number three and two characters invading the privacy and territories of unexpected families

1. Universally, a trickster is someone who is underestimated. They don’t have as much strength, or power, or are younger. But they are often much cleverer, and are able to trick people with their wits. They are able to be either gender, and are even able to go outside gender norms, such as a male dressing as a female. They are neither good nor bad, and though they do bad things are often seen as doing it for the good. Take, for instance, the story Coyote, Iktome, and the Rock. Coyote gives his blanket
realistic nor survivable fight mechanism against the threating situation. In the “Bugs Bunny” cartoons, “Bugs Bunny would never submit meekly to an opponent no matter how overwhelming” so he uses another approach to fight or approach the threatening situation in order to make an effective escape (Lee 4). In the “Bugs Bunny” cartoons “A Corny Concerto,” “Hare Ribbin,’” “Stage Door Cartoon,” and “What’s Opera Doc?” Bugs approaches
laughing uncontrollably. I then watched a Bugs Bunny show and started laughing whenever I saw Elmer Fudd shoot Daffy Duck and his bill went twirling around his head. The next day, I pushed my brother off a cliff and shot my dog to see ifs its head would twirl around. Obviously, the last sentence is not true. The example above is an exaggeration of the effects of violence on television can have on children. To a five-year-old child, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny are the pinnacle of “cool,” and they see
