In a number of cartoons, Bugs dons women's clothing and makeup in order to elude an enemy.
All of his adversaries (especially the dim-witted Elmer Fudd) fall for the disguise; only Daffy Duck sees through it.
In those highly censored days of filmmaking, one has to wonder how these shorts weren't banned.
I read somewhere that the WB animation department was called on the carpet by the Hay's Office, and somehow, they managed to convince the critics that Bugs' cross-dressing was merely a device to escape predators, and had nothing whatsoever to due with the rabbit's sexual identification and orientation.
In fact, there are a few cartoons showing Bugs actively pursuing female bunnies--one of them being a mechanical rabbit used in a dog race!
Most likely, his most famous impersination was that of Brunnehilde in WHAT'S OPERA, DOC", but my favorite is the country girl in HILLBILLY HARE.
He looked really cute in that one.
Your thoughts?
