Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales
Release date: 1982-11-19
Plot: Daffy and Bugs end up in the palace of Sultan Yosemite Sam, who forces them to tell stories to his spoiled son, Prince Abba-Dabba. In a desperate attempt to save their skins, Bugs begins spinning a series of fairy tales, which are, in reality, classic Looney Tunes shorts cleverly tied together with newly animated sequences. Among the tales we get to revisit are Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk (1943), Ali Baba Bunny (1957), Goldimouse and the Three Cats (1960), and Bewitched Bunny (1954).
Name and role: In this third in a row collection movies, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck find themselves working as door-to-door salesmen for "Rambling House" a book company. After narrowly escaping Yosemite Sam thanks to a string of quick-witted stories, the two manage to save their skins, though not quite all of Daffy's feathers.
Trivia and other appearances: It's hardly worth counting how many times these two have appeared together, from commercials to video games, films, and classic shorts, Bugs and Daffy are one of the longest-running duos in cinematic history.

Name and role: Abba-Dabba is the spoiled and bratty son of Sultan Yosemite Sam. In the film, Bugs Bunny finds himself forced to tell him an endless string of stories to keep him entertained or face being dunked in boiling oil. Abba-Dabba's character design bears a strong resemblance to Junior, the bespectacled kid from the short A Waggily Tale (1958). Both share distinctive traits like round glasses and a wonderfully petulant attitude.
Trivia and other appearances: Despite only appearing in this film, Abba-Dabba was included in some promotional materials and collectible merchandise. 1001 Rabbit Tales is notable for being one of the very first Looney Tunes anthology films to use an original framing story to connect the classic shorts together.
