Bugs Bunny: Arguably the most popular and enduring(持续的) of the Warner Bros. cartoon characters, Bugs Bunny appeared in well over 150 cartoons. Bugs first official cartoon was 1940s A Wild Hare, directed by Tex Avery, but a precursor(先驱) to him appeared in several cartoons prior to that, directed by Ben Bugs Hardaway and Chuck Jones. Generally associated with rabbit hunter Elmer Fudd, Bugs also squared(迎战) off against a horde(群) of other memorable characters, including regulars Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, and the Tasmanian Devil. 最有争议的也是很长一段时间在一百五十个卡通人物中最受欢迎的算是兔八哥啦。八哥第一次露相是在1940年的野兔子中，这部电影是由Tex Avery导演的。但是有一个卡通人物在八哥之前就已经小有名气啦，这几部片子是由Hardaway and Chuck Jones导演的，兔八哥总是跟一系列其他深入人心的形象展开竞争，像Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, and the Tasmanian Devil. Daffy Duck: The name says it all. The little black duck that first appeared in the black-and white Tex Avery short Porkys Duck Hunt in 1937 was so popular that he was immediately launched into a series of cartoons that continued until the final days of the Warner theatrical cartoon studio. Originally conceived(以为) as an insane counterpart(对应物) to mild-mannered Porky Pig, he quickly became a headlining(车顶衬里) star in cartoons directed by Avery, Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson, and just about every other director who ever worked for the studio. Throughout the 1940s, Daffy was played as a nutty anarchist(无政府主义者) who would often drive his enemies as crazy as he was. In most of these, Daffy is fond of bouncing around on his head and uttering (发表)his trademark yell of Woo hoo! woo hoo! In several cartoons during World War II, he was even unleashed(被推出) on the Axis dictators(独裁者), most memorably Hitler in Daffy the Commando. By the mid 1950s, a different side of the character began to show in the cartoons of Chuck Jones. Daffy became greedy and at times bitter, and in many cartoons he was more the villain(坏人) than the hero. It was in this era that his classic feud(不和) with Bugs Bunny began, in a trilogy(三部曲) of cartoons alongside(在旁边) Bugs and Elmer, and many others. By the early 60s, Daffy and Bugs had become a natural pair, and not only Jones, but Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson also created Bugs and Daffy shorts. Daffy also appeared in over 20 low-budget chases with Speedy Gonzales in the waning(逐渐变小) days of the Warner cartoons. |
