Honey Bunny the Nips" (1944), a shapely robotic female rabbit used as a bait for Bugs by Gossamer's creator in the cartoon "Hair-Raising Hare" (1946), Daisy Lou (who bears a strong resemblance to Honey Bunny's eventual character design from the 1970s-1990s) in the above-mentioned cartoon "Hare Splitter" (1948), Witch Hazel (who is transformed into an attractive female rabbit) in the cartoon "Bewitched Bunny" (1954), and Millicent (an overweight rabbit) in the cartoon "Rabbit Romeo" (1957). Mama Bear, in "Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears" (1944); Penelope Pussycat, in "Carrotblanca" (1995); and Elmer Fudd, in "Bugs' Bonnets" (1956) and "Rabbit of Seville" (1950),
Bugs Bunny as the "Rabbit Season/Duck Season" trilogy and are famous for originating the "historic" rivalry between Bugs and Daffy Duck. Jones' classic "What's Opera, Doc?" (1957), casts Bugs and Elmer Fudd in a parody of Richard Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen". It was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1992, becoming the first cartoon short to receive this honor. In the fall of 1960, ABC debuted the prime-time television program "The Bugs Bunny Show". This show packaged many of the post-1948 Warners cartoons with newly animated wraparounds.
