Box Office Bunny

BoxOffice Bunny, released in 1990, is a 4minute Looney Tunes short starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd. It was shown in theaters with The NeverEnding Story II The Next Chapter. This was Warner Brothers first Bugs Bunny theatrical release since 1964. It was issued to commemorate Bugs 50th anniversary. It is included as a special feature on the DVD for The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.

In the late 1980s, Warner Bros. Animation started producing new theatrical animated shorts, featuring the Looney Tunes characters. The Duxorcist 1987 and The Night of the Living Duck 1988 were wellreceived individually. Both were then incorporated to the compilation film Daffy Ducks Quackbusters 1988. They marked a return to prominence for fictional character Daffy Duck. They were followed by BoxOffice Bunny, the first theatrical short featuring Bugs Bunny since 1964.According to director Darrell Van Citters, Warner Bros. studio was uncertain what to do with the film. It was reportedly completed six to nine months before its actual release. Its release was delayed because the studio wanted to release it alongside one of their feature films, but could not decide which could best serve to spotlight it. It was finally released alongside The NeverEnding Story II The Next Chapter 1990. The underperformance of the feature film at the boxoffice is thought to have negatively affected the fate of the short. ........
