Yipe! A Monster

Bugs Bunny realises he’s just seen an orangey hairy monster wearing runners in “Hair-Raising Hare.” We get some takes. Here are a few of the drawings.



Chuck Jones is such a great director, he has Bugs change positions slightly every two frames until he feels the take has registered, then goes to the next pose and moves Bugs and the monster slightly again.

Then a swirl of lines for four frames (one drawing for each)…





And Bugs pulls out a sign from nowhere. But the gag isn’t over.



Bugs looks at the sign, does a few more takes, and then turns around the sign. Here are the drawings. No hand!
