Story Ideas- what works

Fast and Furry-ous
Fast and Furry-ous. Looney Tunes. Warner Bros. Pictures, Burbank, California. 16 Sept. 1949
What I think makes the short work:
The use of smear drawings
The stretch of the coyote’s jaw
Long holds. Pauses
The gags always backfire on the coyote
When the road is drawn on the rock, it becomes a road for the roadrunner.
The way the rock falls – defies the law of gravity


Part of Hair-Raising Hare
Hair-Raising Hare. Looney Tunes. Warner Bros. Pictures, Burbank, California. 25 May 1946
What I think makes the short work:
Bugs is always one step ahead of the monster
The body language of the monster, since he doesn’t talk much.


Haredevil Hare
Haredevil Hare. Looney Tunes. Warner Bros. Pictures, Burbank, California. 24 July 1948
What I think makes the short work:
Bugs crying until he gets carrots
Comedy of the large rocket that that is lit by a small fuse
Bugs body shape coming through the bottom of the rocket from the force of the take off


Tortoise wins by a Hare
Tortoise Wins by a Hare. Looney Tunes. Warner Bros. Pictures, Burbank, California. 20 Feb. 1943
What I think makes the short work:
Slow Turtle vs. Fast Rabbit in speed and speech
Nice extreme poses during the race
Nice old man poses by bugs
Nice anticipation on bugs as he goes back before he takes off for the race
