Bully for Bugs is a 1952 Warner Brothers Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon short released on August 1953. It was directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese.

Charles Martin "Chuck" Jones (September 21, 1912 – February 22, 2002) was an American animator, cartoon artist, screenwriter, producer, and director of animated films, most memorably of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts for the Warner Brothers cartoon studio. He directed many of the classic short animated cartoons starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, the Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote, Pepé Le Pew and the other Warners characters, including the memorable What's Opera, Doc? (1957), Duck Amuck (1952) (both later inducted into the National Film Registry) and The Jones' famous "Hunter's Trilogy" of Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning, and Duck! Rabbit! Duck! (1951–1953), establishing himself as an important innovator and storyteller.

Jones, like the rest of his Termite Terrace associates after the departure of Schlesinger, has been criticized for using repetitive plots, most obvious in the Pepé Le Pew and Road Runner cartoons. It must be noted, however, that many of these films were originally issued to theatres years apart, and the repetitious factor was often done at the request of the producers, management, or theatre owners. Also, series like the Road Runner were set up as exercises in exploring the same situation in different ways. Jones had a set list of rules as to what could and could not occur in a Road Runner cartoon, and stated that it was not what happened that was important in the films, but how it happened.
Chuck Jones' reinvention of certain characters is also a controversial subject. He reimagined the wacky, Clampett-esque hero Daffy Duck as a greedy, sneaky antagonist with a slow-burning temper; and he relegated hapless star Porky Pig to being a sidekick or audience-aware observer of the action. Jones also created a series of films in which he used Friz Freleng's Sylvester in the context of a real cat. Like all the Warners directors, his Bugs Bunny characterization is unique to his films: Jones' Bugs never attacks unless attacked, unlike Avery's and Clampett's bombastic rabbits.

Bully for Bugs - Trivia

Chuck Jones said that he made this cartoon after producer Eddie Selzer told him that bullfights were not funny. Eddie, Jones notes, had an unerring sense for audience appeal: Anything he didn't think was funny, the audience inevitably would. Eddie was also responsible for the camel in Sahara Hare, which he inspired by asserting that camels were not funny.
The sounds of the crowd are recorded from a genuine bull-fighting crowd in Barcelona, Spain.
Despite the fact that it has carrots, some fans have come to the conclusion that Bugs' reason for his journey to the carrot festival was to celebrate Cinco de Mayo (This opinion is not supported by the August release date).
The boulder to the face gag was reused from Rabbit Punch which was also directed by Chuck Jones five years earlier.
Toro the bull can be seen in the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit auditioning with other bulls at the Maroon Cartoon Studios for a part for in a cartoon
Toro also appears in Space Jam , Looney Tunes: Back in Action and the video game "sheep raider" also known as "sheep dog and wolf.
In the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Starting from Scratch" Bugs' apprentice Buster Bunny tries the now famous slap dance on a bedbug only to backfire on him. Prompting Buster to remark "Well it worked for Bugs Bunny."
In the Codename: Kids Next Door episode M.A.T.A.D.O.R., the opening scene is similar to Bully for Bugs.
