Release date:
1977-10-26
Plot:
Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester, and the rest of the Looney gang face off against Witch Hazel on a night filled with potions, disguises, and spooky surprises. Between Dr. Jekyll-style transformations and wild chases through a haunted castle, Bugs manages to trick Hazel into drinking the Hyde formula turning her into... a rabbit! All of it stitched together with scenes from nine classic shorts, remixed into a chilling and chuckle-worthy tale.
Name and role:
Witch Hazel and Bugs go on an adventure together for almost the entire film, an adventure overflowing with excessive use of the classic Jekyll & Hyde potion. Near the end of the special, Hazel actually transforms into a lovely Millicent-alike bunny version of herself.
Trivia and other appearances:
Hazel and Bugs have crossed broomsticks multiple times over the years, for example in "Bewitched Bunny" (1954), "Broom-Stick Bunny" (1956), and "A Witch's Tangled Hare" (1959) not to mention in video games like Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time.

Name and role:

Plot:
Basketball legend Michael Jordan teams up with Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes to win a wild basketball game against alien villains called the Monstars. The aliens stole NBA players' talents, so it's up to Jordan and the Tunes to slam, jam, and bring the chaos. It's sports meets cartoons in the most 90s crossover ever.
Name and role:
No team can play their best without a roaring crowd! And especially not without cheerleaders! So, from the vast (ahem...) pool of Looney female character, who do we pick to lead the cheers? The sultry Penelope Pussycat? The elegant Sylvia the Cat? The ever-nervous Miss Prissy?
Of course not. We get Granny and Witch Hazel, and honestly, they're more than enough.
Trivia and other appearances:
Hazel can be also admired again in media like: Broom-Stick Bunny, Bewitched Bunny, and in her reinvented role in The Looney Tunes Show and Bugs Bunny Builders, still cackling and hexing in style.
