Carrotblanca

General Pandemonium gets a frantic call from Foghorn Leghorn saying that a secret German document has been stolen, and immediately heads for the Carrotblanca nightclub―the Cafe Au Lait Americain featuring "Eleanor Roosevelt's All girl revue" with his friend, Sam Sheepdog. At the nightclub, Tweety, the actual thief, convinces Mr. Bugs to take the document.

Meanwhile, Sylvester Slaszlo and his wife Kitty Ketty arrive at the club. Kitty attracts the unwanted attention of Captain Louis aka Pepe Le Pew, but she scratches him and throws him into the wall. Kitty, who is the ex-girlfriend of Bugs, asks Duck Sam to play her favorite song. The general suspects Slaszlo may know about the document and binds him in his office. Kitty pleads with Bugs to help Slaszlo out of this. Though Bugs is initially reluctant due to the fact that Kitty broke his heart, he goes to the General's office nevertheless and confuses the General himself into jail.

Slaszlo and Kitty escape on the plane for Toronto, New York City and Cucamonga, as Bugs watches them go... except that they find Pepe on the plane working as a steward. Louis asks Kitty for some tea, causing her to jump out of the plane in fright, seemingly without a parachute, landing right in front of Bugs. They kiss, then the parachute opens, covering them.

Unlike the previous modern Looney Tunes shorts, this short was not made by the Greg Ford/Terry Lennon team nor Chuck Jones Film Productions. It was produced by the Animaniacs writing team at Warner Bros. Feature Animation. Carrotblanca was the only Looney Tunes short produced by that group of writers and the Feature Animation division. The idea for the short came to be when Timothy Cahill
Julie McNally saw a 50th anniversary screening of Casablanca. The company that they worked for had the license to make Looney Tunes merchandise. They pitched the idea of the Looney Tunes characters doing a parody of Casablanca to the executives of Warner Bros. at the time, Bob Daly and Terry Semel. They were interested, and the short became the first Warner Bros. project that Cahill and McNally ever worked for writing and producing it. They worked with director Douglas McCarthy and composer Richard Stone, and as time went by, the project went from a TV special to an 8-minute short. Voices were provided by Greg Burson, Joe Alaskey, Maurice LaMarche, Bob Bergen, and Tress MacNeille. The short was animated by Tony Cervone, Shawn Keller, Harry Sabin, Jeff Siergey, David S. Smith, Bill Snelgrove, Bill Waldman, Nelson Recinos, Phil Cummings, Bill Knoll, Kathleen Mauro, Doug Bombardier, Myung Miller, Ivan Camilli, Bill Mimms, Ed Gabriel, Herb Moore, George Goodchild, Myung Nam, David Hancock, Doug Ninneman, Mary Hanley, David Recinos, Sandy Henkin, Joe Roman, Myung Kang, Rodeny Tirey, Miyul Lee, and Elyse Whittaker.^[1]

The short involves nearly all the major Looney Tunes characters in roles from the film, including Bugs Bunny as Mr. Bugs, Daffy Duck as Sam Duck, Yosemite Sam as General Pandemonium, Tweety as Usmarte, Sylvester as Sylvester Slazo, Penelope Pussycat as Kitty Ketty (this short marks Penelope's first speaking role), and Pepé Le Pew as Captain Louis. Some characters use their real names, others the names of the characters in the original film, or parodic versions. Several minor Looney Tunes characters can be seen in the background (such as Pete Puma as a waiter wearing a kaftan and fez, Giovanni Jones and The Crusher as the maitre d' and doorman, Gossamer as a customer at a table, and Sam Sheepdog as General Pandemonium's driver assistant). Porky Pig was planned to have a speaking role in the short, but it was cut.^[1]

Common Sense Media rated it 5 out of 5 stars.^[2]

It was released on the DVD set "The Essential Bugs Bunny", and it was released on the special edition of Casablanca. It was later released on the Looney Tunes Parodies Collection DVD.
