Looney Tunes are a fine piece of art created by several ingenious directors like Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng, and there was a huge marketing buzz back in 1990 about Bugs Bunny's 50th anniversary. Among the endorsements were a pinball machines, promos on several WB tapes, a brilliant TV series known as Tiny Toon Adventures, and several TV specials. This is one of the latter.


"Happy Birthday Bugs! 50 Looney Years" is simply an over-excessive use of driving the cartoon home. Somehow, the good ol' folks at the WB got over 50 celebrities to pop up in this special. The TV show parodies like Daffy Duck attempting to get recognized and the fake Entertainment Tonight have not aged well, and feel like that old Dr. Dude pinball machine I have.


Admittedly, there was some pretty cool stuff here. I think getting a sneak peek at Tiny Toons was really memorable, as well as the final montage at the end- if this was the entire special, it would've been a smash hit. But we had to get thrown with cheap celebrity endorsements instead.


Sadly, the only video on the ENTIRE WEB containing this special was hard to find, but I found it. And yes, it comes with shocking commercials.

This could work.

(On an unrelated note, Dr. Dude is probably the most incredible piece of the 80's/90's surfer culture there is.)
