Saturday Morning Cartoons--What's Opera Doc?

Okay, I'll admit it--I'm a cartoon fan! Some of the strongest memories that I have was getting up on Saturday morning, with my brother and sister, and watching The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show, while Dad fixed his famous pancakes. The Saturday morning cartoons is a childhood ritual for the Gen-Xers and perhaps the Gen-Yers. Some of the cartoons we use to watch in the late 1970s were The Bugs Bunny Show, Scooby Doo, Speed Buggy, Tarzan, Flash Gordon, Superfriends, and even Land of the Lost. The cartoons that I remember growing up didn't just come from Saturday morning, but for the whole week, including Rocky and Bullwinkle, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, Mighty Mouse, Tom and Jerry, Spiderman, and Underdog.

So let's enjoy some Saturday morning cartoons. One of the great classics that I remember watching on Saturday morning is the famous Bugs Bunny film What's Opera Doc? The animation quality is incredible, with rich colors, shadows, and details. The music is fantastic. And this is one of the few times that Elmer Fudd actually kills Bugs Bunny. From YouTube:



Well, what did you expect in an opera? A happy ending?
