Peter Lorre
Carrotblanca
Release date: 1995-08-25
Plot: Bugs Bunny runs a nightclub during World War II. When he gets tangled up in a plot involving secret documents, he must choose between helping his old flame, Kitty Ketty, or maintaining his cherished neutrality.
Name and role: Tweety appears only briefly, but his most iconic moment is when his face morphs into Peter Lorre's since the two share the same role. In this Looney version, Ugarte becomes Umarte.
Trivia and other appearances: Peter Lorre, what can you say? He's been a staple in the Looney Tunes universe for ages, to the point of having his own character: the mad scientist Dr. Lorre, starting from "The Birth of a Notion" (1947) all the way to "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" (2003). He even pops up in smaller series, like in the 1995 Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "The Maltese Canary"
