Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster
Release date: 1991-02-14
Plot: The special features Bugs Bunny conducting a classical music concert, completely unaware of a newspaper headline announcing the escape of an experimental fly that can't be killed. As the show unfolds, various Looney Tunes characters perform musical numbers, while the fly wreaks havoc among the audience and performers alike.
Name and role: Bugs Bunny starts off as a refined orchestra conductor, but as the fly situation spirals out of control, he's forced to keep the show afloat by stepping into two of his greatest hits with Elmer: Rabbit of Seville and What's Opera, Doc? Despite his best efforts and impeccable showmanship, it's a losing battle. The tormented audience eventually flees the theater in a buzzing cloud of frustration.
Trivia and other appearances: Bugs appears as an orchestra director twice, channeling the iconic image of maestro Leopold Stokowski in Long-Haired Hare (1949). The sequences where he dons a flashy yellow tuxedo are pulled directly from Baton Bunny (1959), cementing his place as both comic genius and unflappable musical legend... even when upstaged by a mutant fly.

Name and role: Daffy Duck and Porky Pig perform Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture, both playing the trumpet. Though Daffy, true to form, immediately grows jealous of Porky's superior skill and literally tries to kill him to avoid being upstaged.
Trivia and other appearances: Daffy here bears a strong resemblance to the Robin Hood version he portrayed back in 1958, but this trumpeter incarnation, with his floppy hat and manic energy, is a one-of-a-kind variation.

As the show unfolds, various Looney Tunes characters perform musical numbers, while the fly wreaks havoc among the audience and performers alike.
Name and role: Daffy Duck and Porky Pig perform Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture, the music naturally evokes The Lone Ranger theme, and the short plays into that connection. At the end of the segment, after miraculously surviving Daffy's attacks, Porky asks aloud who the mysterious cowboy summoned by the music might be.
Trivia and other appearances: Daffy and Porky's comedic duo goes all the way back to the 1930s decades, forming one of the longest-standing pairings in Looney Tunes history. But this is one of the rare occasions where Porky taps into real toon power, escaping Daffy's homicidal hijinks without explanation, just pure cartoon logic, no questions asked.
