Bugs did not appear in any of the post-1964 "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" films produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises or Seven Arts Productions, nor did he appear in Filmation's "Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies". He did, however, have two cameo appearances in the 1974 Joe Adamson short "A Political Cartoon"; one at the beginning of the short, and another in which he is interviewed at a pet store. Bugs was animated in this short by Mark Kausler. He did not appear in new material on-screen again until "Bugs and Daffy's Carnival of the Animals" aired in 1976.
