Morning Cartoon: Bunny and Claude in "We Rob Carrot Patches"


Everyone (WHO HAS A SOUL) loves Warner Bros. cartoons, but by 1968, the studio's animation output was looking grim.  The heyday of Bugs and Daffy were waning, so the studio had great plans to return to prime form with the antics of a pair of criminal bunnies based on Bonnie and Clyde, then hugely popular thanks to Arthur Penn's BONNIE AND CLYDE, released the previous year.  The results were... strange, though apparently their first adventure was well-received enough to warrant a second short as well before Bunny and Claude rode off into the sunset of animation obscurity.
