Bugs Bunny : D
Bugs Bunny is an American fictional character who starred in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, which became Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1944. In 2002, he was named by TV Guide as the best cartoon character of all time. Bugs starred in 163 shorts in the Golden Age of American animation, and made cameos in three others along with a few appearances in non-animated films.

According to Bugs Bunny: 50 Years and Only One Grey Hare, he was born in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York (in a warren under Ebbets Field, famed home of the Brooklyn Dodgers), created by Tex Avery (who directed A Wild Hare, Bugs Bunny's debut) and Robert McKimson (who created the definitive Bugs Bunny character design), among many others. According to Mel Blanc, the character's original voice actor, Bugs Bunny has a Flatbush accent, an equal blend of the Bronx and Brooklyn dialects (of the New York Accent). His catchphrase is a casual "Eh...what's up, doc?", usually said while chewing a carrot. His other popular phrases include "Of course you realize, this means war", "Ain't I a stinker?" and "I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque."

Bugs Bunny is the main character of the Looney Tunes series.

    The Rabbits by Shaun Tan

    The rabbits are perhaps the most indistinct figures in the entire illustration, a deliberate act by Tan as it provides a deeper insight into the perception of the rabbits by the numbats. This effect is also provided through a series of key techniques, to ensure that the deeper meaning engrained within the rabbits is laid out unto the audience. The most exclusive technique is the use of low modality; it dramatically enhances the understanding of which we gain of the rabbits. The low modality demonstrates to the audience the viewpoint, of which the numbats would have seen the rabbits, as foreign creatures artificial in appearance. The illustration quickly outlines this fact, as they pose few similarities to a normal rabbit, only be known to the audience as rabbits, due to the title of the picture book. Another essential technique which Tan has incorporated is the layout of the rabbit’s, structured with a purposeful stance it is evident to the audience immediately that the rabbits are there for a specific reason although it is still unknown to the numbats of what this is.…

As the cartoon begins there is woodwind instrument which sounds like a flute playing a melody over a piano playing arpeggio this gives the impression of it being early morning as it’s very upbeat and cheerful.

After the trill is completed the tempo of the music is increased and more instruments are added the most noticeable being the drums. The tempo change and the loud cymbal crashes show the listener that the characters are racing and fighting to get out the door first the loud skidding foley sounds confirm this. Once the characters are outside a bouncing noise is added as the Easter bunny jumps away this has been placed there so to make it more comical as the target audience is children. The music then changes to a relaxed calm sounding mood whilst the characters read the message off the basket left. There is another changed in tempo after this as the music is played fast to portray the jerry the mouse’s feelings of panic as the tom snatches away the Easter egg left.
