Bugs Bunny Posters

By Janine Rose Morley

Whats up Doc? Of all the most beloved cartoon characters, few are more beloved than Bugs Bunny. With his smart mouth and his winning attitude he always got the upper hand on Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, and anyone else who came his way. These cartoon classics had fans all over the world quoting lines well into adult hood: Go up to a forty year old guy and say Were hunting Elmers and there is good chance hell know what your talking about. Because they are classics, any merchandise related becomes collectible. Bugs Bunny Posters are great way to collect cartoon memorabilia and show your love of the Wascaly Wabbit!

For over fifty years, Looney Tunes has created characters that became part of the American Culture. Starting as shorts at the movie theater and then becoming a staple of childrens television, they set the standard for two level humor that can be loved by both children and adult. The cartoons created iconic characters where grandparents can laugh along with their grandkids at jokes that are as funny now as they were in 1945.

Warner Brothers has cultivated this brand into one of the most widely recognizable in the world. Bugs has gone from movie shorts to beloved full length features. Ask yourself a question: If you watch the picture Space Jam fifty years from now, who is everyone going to recognize, Bill Murray, Michael Jordan, or Bugs Bunny? Bugs, of course. All of this has been illustrated in terrific Bugs Bunny posters.

Just like any other collectible item, Bugs Bunny Posters come in all types. You can get originals or reprints of classics. You can also purchase new versions of Americas favorite. Because these cartoons were written to appeal to everyone their popularity is timeless. But it is not just the appeal of the cartoon that makes them so popular. Like any great franchise, Looney Tunes knows the power of quality. The art work is impeccable. Ever look at Bugs, Foghorn Leghorn, Daffy Duck and not know what they are all about? The attention to detail in each character comes through with every toon and on every poster.

So when you are purchasing art work (yes, it is art) to highlight a kids room, a dorm room, a class room, or a rec room, nothing beats the cool rabbit who lets one and all in on the fun. The quality is so spectacular, you may choose to put a Bugs Bunny Poster in the living room, over the fireplace. Sure beats an old family member that no one even recognizes.
