"What's Up Doc?" is a fairly known quote from all these Bugs Bunny short films that comes up again and again and here we have the short film with the same title that shows us how it was created. This cartoons runs for 7 minutes and has McKimson, Foster and Blanc work on it, some of Warner Bros' most known and most prolific. It depicts the early days of Bugs' life and career as we see him as a baby rabbit (cute!) and as an aspiring artist with a rocky road to stardom as well as the crowd did not love him initially. But Elmer makes him a star and this short film tells us that all the Bugs Bunny cartoons we watch are actually show and acted by everybody we see in there, not real life. An interesting new perspective. As a whole, this was an okay short film, the highlight was certainly the scene with the caricatures of famous (actually existing) actors who lost their fame and I like it in particular because it was also a bit critical about the industry. Luckily, Bugs managed to get back and really launch his big career unlike the others. Good cartoon, I recommend the watch.
