Bugs Bunny's Wild World of Sports
Release date:
1989-02-15
Plot:
Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and Angus MacRory gather for a grand ceremony honoring the "World's Greatest Sportsman." Daffy, certain that Bugs will take the title as usual, is stunned when the award goes to a surprise sixth contender.
Name and role:
That contender? None other than a baffled Foghorn Leghorn, who emerges as the winner of the "World's Greatest Sportsman" award. The clips highlighting him come from his classic sports-themed gags usually teaching lessons to Egghead Jr. or launching sneak attacks on Barnyard Dawg. True to form, Foghorn's first move upon receiving the prize is to check if it's genuine and what it's worth... not exactly the spirit of good sportsmanship.
Trivia and other appearances:
Talking sports, are we? Then feast your eyes on Sport Chumpions (1941), Baseball Bugs (1946), and Gone Batty (1954). Still not enough? Then take a shot at Space Jam and its sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy.
