Bugs Bunny Rides Again is a 1948 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng, and written by Tedd Pierce and Michael Maltese.[1] The short was released on June 12, 1948, and stars Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam.[2]

The brusk is both a Western and a parody of the genre'due south conventions.[three]

Vocalization characterizations are performed past Mel Blanc. It is the third drawing to pair Bugs and Yosemite Sam, subsequently Hare Trigger (1945) and Buccaneer Bunny (1948). The title is a typical Western reference, as in "The Lonely Ranger rides again", and also suggests a reference to the Jack Benny comedy, Buck Benny Rides Over again (1940).[four]

Plot [edit]

Underscored by a high-energy version of "Cheyenne", a abiding hail of bullets flies effectually the Western town of Rising Gorge. A stream of them sail one way along the primary street; a traffic light (an Pinnacle Regulator, in keeping with Looney Tunes tradition) turns ruby and those bullets hover in mid-air while some other torrent of them shoot by on the cross street, though they hesitate to resume when they get the light-green low-cal when one last bullet zips by on the cross street, running the carmine lite. Within the Gunshot Saloon ('Come in and get a slug') at the bar a cowboy shoots another, manifestly simply for his drink. Exterior there is a commotion and women screaming, and then Yosemite Sam, guns smoking in his hands, walks in (being so brusk, he passes beneath the saloon doors). The patrons react with fear, yelling his name as the score quotes from Erlkönig [5] (as is often the case for villains in Looney Tunes).

Sam orders everyone ("all yous skunks") out of the place, firing his guns for accent. All comply (including an actual skunk), except one cowboy Sam catches trying to sneak out the back and turns into a shooting gallery target. He demands to know if there is anyone there who dares to recall they might tame him. Bugs Bunny, lazily leaning confronting a wall and rolling a cigarette declares, "I aims to."

The ii approach each other in exaggerated gunfighter fashion. When they are literally nose-to-nose, Bugs unholsters a carrot and delivers his classic, "What'southward upwards, Md?" Sam says, "This town ain't big enough for the ii of united states of america." Bugs tries to accommodate him past instantly edifice an entire city skyline, but Sam is not appeased. They then depict on each other with increasingly larger guns until Sam makes information technology to a 'ten shooter'. Bugs pulls out a pea shooter; Sam reacts to the pea-shot bounced off his nose by opening fire. Bugs runs exterior, right into Sam who, in typical Western parlance, demands the rabbit "Dance!" as he fires bullets at his feet.

Bugs performs a soft shoe routine; entertainment-style, he turns the 'floor' over to Sam who does a routine of his own. As he dances 'off phase', Bugs opens the door to a mine shaft which Sam then falls into. ("Tsk tsk tsk. Poor fiddling maroon. So trusting. And so naïve.")[vi] When Sam returns to the surface and is immediately confrontational, Bugs draws lines in the sand, each time daring Sam to stride over them. Sam does so, for quite a distance, until he falls off a cliff. The two finish up on horseback, Sam giving hunt, through a serial of gags until Bugs suggests they play cards, as is mutual in "the Western pictures" to decide who leaves town.

The two play gin rummy, and Bugs wins the game (by cheating); he rushes Sam onto the stagecoach to the train station. Equally he is shoving Sam onto the railroad train, they notice that the passenger motorcar is the Miami Special, full of swimsuit-clad women heading for a beauty contest. Accompanied by a rendition of Oh Y'all Cute Doll fit for a striptease number, the plot twist completely changes the tone.[7] [5] Bugs fights with Sam to be the 1 boarding the train, and prevails as usual, with lipstick-kisses on his face shouting, "So long, Sammy! Run into ya in Miami!"

Yosemite Sam'due south statement when he start enters the saloon - "the roughest, toughest he-homo stuffest hombre that's always crossed the Rio Grande, and I don't mean Mahatma Gandhi" is changed in some versions of the motion picture to "And I own't no namby pamby" instead of "Mahatma Gandhi." This modification was probably due to Gandhi's bump-off between the cartoon'south production and its release.[8] [9]

Voice cast [edit]

Music [edit]

Because the film is organized equally "one gag after the adjacent", rather than clearly divers narrative segments of exposition, climax, and conclusion, Carl Stalling created a series of short musical cues accompanying and fitting each scene or gag. A total of 18 such cues announced in this brusque.[5]

The title music is a short sample of the "William Tell Overture" (1829) by Gioachino Rossini.[5] The establishing shot for the unnamed western town of the film is accompanied with a sample of "Cheyenne" (1906) past Egbert Van Alstyne and Harry Williams.[5] The establishing shot for the saloon and its customers is accompanied with a sample of Navajo (1903), also by Van Alstyne and Williams.[5] The entry of Yosemite Sam is accompanied by a sample of Erlkönig (1821) by Franz Schubert.[5] When Bugs Bunny emerges as the just one willing to stand confronting Sam, the music is a sample of Yosemite Sam, a vocal created past Stalling himself.[5]

When Sam and Bugs starting time their duel, the music is a sample of Inflamatus, a section of the Stabat Mater (1841) by Rossini.[5] When Sam states that the town is not big enough for the two of them, the music is a sample of Sonata Pathétique (1799) by Ludwig van Beethoven.[five] The dancing scene is set to the tune of Bugs Bunny Rides Once more, which was too heard with a similar trip the light fantastic toe in Stage Door Cartoon, and the fall of Sam down the mine shaft to the tune of Wise Guy. Both were compositions past Stalling himself.[5] When Sam rages following his fall, the music is a sample of the act iii prelude to Siegfried (premiered 1876) by Richard Wagner.[v] (Goldmark attributes the Siegfried reference to a later advent in Wagner'south Götterdämmerung.)

When the two rivals exit the boondocks, the music is a sample of Fighting Words past Stalling, while the horse chase is set to another sample of the William Tell Overture. When the 2 rivals hold to play cards, the music is The Loser by Stalling.[5] Part of the menu playing is fix to a sample of My Little Buckaroo by Grand.Chiliad. Jerome and Jack Scholl.[5] The victory of Bugs and the rush towards the train station is set up to another sample of "Cheyenne". The scene with the bathing beauties is set to the melody of Oh, You lot Beautiful Doll (1911) by Nat Ayer and Seymour Dark-brown.[five] When Bugs subdues Sam, the music is Miami Special by Stalling. Finally, the train leaves to the tune of Aloha ʻOe (1878) past Liliuokalani.[5]

In role, Stalling relied on the musical codes of the Western genre. "Cheyenne", My Little Buckaroo, Navajo, and the William Tell Overture were already associated with the Former West, cowboys, and cattle, and were familiar to audiences.[v] Der Erlkönig, the Inflamatus, and the Sonata Pathétique fit the function of generic dramatic or agitated music used in genre films.[5] In contrast, the titular melody of Bugs Bunny Rides Again is styled after the music of vaudeville shows.[5]*Lewis, Lisa (2013), "Styles and Aesthetics of tap trip the light fantastic toe", Get-go Tap Trip the light fantastic toe with Web Resource , Human Kinetics, p. 106, ISBN978-1-4504-1198-1

The full version of Finale role of "William Tell Overture" would be used in 2008 rhythm game Looney Tunes: Cartoon Usher.

Critical reception [edit]

Animation historian Greg Ford praised the musical accompaniment to the horse chase,[10] and author Piotr Borowiec describes it as "Probably the funniest drawing starring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam".[11]
