Buckaroo Bugs 1944 Looney Tune title, directed by Bob Clampett. This was the last cartoon release to bear Leon Schlesinger's name, as he sold his cartoon studio to Warner Bros. around the time of its release.
This is the only short in which Bugs Bunny served as a bona fide villain; while his shorts often portray him as mischievous and violent, he is never actually malicious and is, for the most part, acting as such in self-defense against an aggressor.
History is a peculiar concept. Children are taught to memorize certain dates as touchstones to change: 1492; July 4, 1776; November 11, 1918; July 6, 1957; July 16, 1969. July 6, 1957? The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to celebrate the anniversary of a 15-year old Paul McCartney meeting a 16-year old John Lennon at the St Peter's Church fair, where John's skiffle band, the Quarrymen were performing. Quite literally, the world as we know it changed after that meeting. Today we would like you to join us in watching the Beatle's 1964 movie, A Hard's Day Night, which happened to premiere in London on this date in 1964. So we would like you to find the most comfortable seat on the sofa, get a snack and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching the first feature the Beatles appeared in - A Hard's Day Night.
After filming for the day on April 1st 1964, John Lennon had met his father, Alfred Lennon, for the first time in 17 years. In the morning Alf had walked into NEMS Enterprises (where The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein worked) accompanied by a journalist. After explaining to the receptionist that he was John's father, and when Epstein was informed he immediately sent for a car to pick up John, the rest of The Beatles with the exception of Paul McCartney tagging along, bringing them over to NEMS. The meeting was unsuccessful, however; the first words John said to his father were, "What do you want?" The meeting lasted no longer than 20 minutes, and ended up with a furious John ordering Alf off the premises. The encounter was kept out of newspapers by trading with the journalist for exclusive stories about the other bands Epstein managed.
