Hugo


1988-09-24 Daffy Duck's Quackbusters
Release date: 1988-09-24
Plot: Daffy Duck inherits a fortune from the reclusive millionaire J.P. Cubish, who dies laughing at Daffy's antics. The inheritance comes with a stipulation: Daffy must use the money for a public service and conduct honest business practices, or else Cubish's ghost will reclaim the fortune. To fulfill this condition, Daffy establishes a paranormal investigation agency, enlisting the help of Porky Pig, Sylvester, and Bugs Bunny.
Name and role: The snowy nonsense from The Abominable Snow Rabbit (1961) is shown without cuts. In the plot, this serves only to justify Cubish the ghost taking all the money Daffy has left, as payback for how he treated Bugs in that episode.


1993-09-15 H.M.S. yakko
Release date: 1993-09-15
Plot: The Warners face off against a pirate who's basically a Sam clone, classic setup: buried treasure, they storm his ship. Only twist? They throw the whole thing into chaos with a hilariously unforgettable song about the individual cartoon.
Name and role: Hugo gets an hyper fast cameo, he only pops up when Yakko's flipping through various scene changes, and in the Himalayan one, there he is. Doesn't speak, doesn't move, just silently holding some kind of mysterious meal.
Trivia and other appearances: We'll see Hugo pop up a lot in Looney-style cameos, but he gets a similar one in the 1998 episode "Furgo" where he's quietly sipping coffee in a mountain café.


2000-02-29 Tweety's High Flying Adventure
Release date: 2000-02-29
Plot: In the same vein as The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, here comes a charming little direct-to-video movie with Tweety in the spotlight. A globe-trotting adventure, reuniting with the rest of the Looney Tunes gang and staying one tiny step ahead of Sylvester and a whole slew of hungry cats of all shapes and sizes
Name and role: Hugo, who is yellow in this version, wipes out the entire cat-worshipping cult in the most Hugo-esque way possible: by falling on them like a furry meteorite.
