Looney TV: The Windblown Hare (1949)

Bugs Bunny meets the Three Little Pigs in a warped reboot of the latter's classic story in 1949's "The Windblown Hare". The Pigs aren't exactly the simple siblings as originally presented, oh no. They have to be the villains here, conning Bugs into buying the straw & stick houses that will be blown out by the Big Bad Wolf. Look for a cross-reference to Little Red Riding Hood, which Bugs skewered a few years earlier.

Edit, 11/13/19: The video was deleted, and the only copies left have sped-up intros. Here, then, is the title card:

That's how you do satire, Cartoon Network.

Rating: A-.
