Tasmanian
Devil
Tasmanian Devil; "Taz" for
short, is described as: "A
strong murderous beast, jaws
as powerful as a steel trap,
has ravenous appetite, eats
tigers, lions, elephants,
buffaloes, donkeys,
giraffes, octopuses,
rhinoceroses, and moose."
However, this definition is
only partially accurate. He
also eats chickens, ducks,
and especially rabbits.
Whirring around like a
tornado, slicing through
trees like a rotary saw, and
feasting on an entire
ecosystem of jungle
creatures, Taz has but one
thing on his mind: Eating.
The carnivorous native of
Tasmania has the power to
devour everything

The "wascally
wabbit," who's faced down Elmer Fudd,
Marvin the Martian and Yosemite Sam, has
come out on top again: According to the
latest issue of TV Guide, Bugs Bunny is
the greatest cartoon character of all
time. |

Bugs Bunny was the most enduring American
cartoon character of the 20th century. The acknowledged star of the Warner
Brothers cartoon menagerie, Bugs was a cocky, wisecracking, good-hearted
hare who battled Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck and other slapstick nemeses in
dozens of animated short films. Bugs's debut as a star was the 1940 short A
Wild Hare, where he first uttered his trademark line, "What's up, Doc?"
Credit for the Bugs Bunny character generally goes to Tex Avery, who
developed a preliminary character created by fellow animator Ben "Bugs"
Hardaway. (Many of the later Bugs Bunny cartoons were directed by Friz
Freleng and Chuck Jones; the voice of Bugs was provided by Mel Blanc.) The
shorts remain popular in TV reruns.
The 1958 cartoon Knighty Knight, Bugs won the Academy Award for animation...
The Warner Brothers cartoons are collectively known as "Looney Tunes"...
Bugs co-starred with Michael Jordan in the 1996 feature film Space Jam. |

History: A suggested early influence
A number of animation historians believe Bugs
to have been influenced by an earlier Disney character called Max Hare. Max,
designed by Charlie Thorsen, first appeared in the Silly Symphony The
Tortoise and the Hare, directed by Wilfred Jackson. The story was based on a
fable by Aesop and cast Max against Toby Tortoise, and won the Academy Award
for Animated Short Film for 1934. Max also appeared in the sequel Toby
Tortoise Returns and the Mickey Mouse cartoon Mickey's Polo Team.
The only solid connection between Max and Bugs however is Charlie Thorsen.
He was also responsible for the redesign of Bugs from a white to a gray
rabbit for his third appearance Hare-um Scare-um (see below), thus the
similarity in design. |
