Bugs Bunny the beautician is an animated cartoon that shows two Loony Tune characters Bugs Bunny and Gossamer; titled “Water, Water Every Hare.” The animation is done by animators Ben Washam, Ken Harris, Phil Monroe, and Lloyd Vaughan. It’s directed by Charles M. Jones and is a classic and brilliant piece of animation. Bugs Bunny is playing a stereotypical hairdresser who is very talkative and flamboyant. He’s personal with his client; which is Gossamer in this case. Gossamer doesn’t speak at all; he just emits facial expressions based on what based on what Bugs is doing to his hair. In front of them sets a table that has all the essential beautician tools, such as; brush, mirror, and hair clips.
The whole situation is a rouse to distract the monster Gossamer. Bugs eventually get’s a hold of explosives and ties them is Gossamer’s hair, which explodes and leaves an odious look on his face. Not to mention a bald spot and that is all the time Bugs Bunny needs to make an escape and get ready for the next wacky adventure. The great thing about all cartoons and especially Loony Tunes is that it has enough human appeal and a touch of impracticable situations that makes it bizarre and hilarious. In the Illusion of Life book it states that the goal of an animator is to make the audience “feel the emotion of the characters, rather than appreciate them intellectually.” (p22.) I think that Loony Tunes does an excellent job of show character individuality.
