Bugs Bunny: Arguably the most popular and enduring of the Warner Bros. cartoon characters, Bugs Bunny appeared in well over 150 cartoons. Bugs' first official cartoon was 1940's "A Wild Hare", directed by Tex Avery, but a precursor 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 off against a horde of other memorable characters, including regulars Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, and the Tasmanian Devil.
最有爭議的也是很長一段時間在一百五十個卡通人物中最受歡迎的算是兔八哥啦。八哥第一次露相是在1940年的“野兔子”中,這部電影是由Tex Avery導(dǎo)演的。但是有一個卡通人物在八哥之前就已經(jīng)小有名氣啦,這幾部片子是由Hardaway and Chuck Jones導(dǎo)演的,兔八哥總是跟一系列其他深入人心的形象展開競爭,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 "Porky's 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 as an insane counterpart to mild-mannered Porky Pig, he quickly became a headlining 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 1940's, Daffy was played as a nutty anarchist 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 his trademark yell of "Woo hoo! woo hoo! "In several cartoons during World War II, he was even unleashed on the Axis dictators, most memorably Hitler in "Daffy the Commando". By the mid 1950's, 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 than the hero. It was in this era that his classic feud with Bugs Bunny began, in a trilogy of cartoons alongside Bugs and Elmer, and many others. By the early 60's, 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 days of the Warner cartoons.
笨鴨子:在這個名字里已經(jīng)表達出來所有的意思啦。這只小黑鴨第一次露面是在1937年拍攝的黑白電影Porky's Duck Hunt中,之后他又出現(xiàn)在其他一些電影里。一開始他是跟(porky pig)一樣,總是瘋瘋癲癲的。但是后來在Avery Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson 拍攝的電影中一舉成名。整個十九世紀四十年代, Daffy 一直扮演一個瘋瘋癲癲的反政府的人物,他經(jīng)常把他的敵人逼得走投無路。Daffy還經(jīng)常大叫 “ Woo hoo! Woo hoo!” 二戰(zhàn)的幾部卡通片里,他以嶄新的獨裁者的身份亮相。最令人記憶憂新的角色就是他在Hiter 里扮演的 Daffy the Commando角色。直到十九世紀五十年代中,他又在Chuck Jones的卡通電影中以全新的反面角色全新亮相。他演一個貪婪的惡棍。六十年代早期, Daffy 和 Bugs 和好如初了。但是Jones, Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson 還在制作Bugs和Daffy 的短片。 Daffy后來又出現(xiàn)在Warner卡通的最后20部不太景氣的影片中。
Elmer Fudd: Elmer Fudd is a short, bald-headed, game hunting little gentleman with a speech impediment. He tries to be tough, but his speech problem and his relatively low intelligence make him only minor threat to those who cross him. Elmer Fudd can generally be seen hunting Bugs Bunny, as he did in his first formative appearance hunting an early Bugs in Chuck Jones' "Elmer's Candid Camera"(1940.) Elmer Fudd was usually paired with Bugs Bunny, although he made solo appearances over the years and was also paired with Daffy Duck, Sylvester, the Goofy Gophers, and others. His most popular catch phrase, "Be very, very quiet, I'm hunting rabbits!" has become a household saying.
Elmer Fudd 是一個矮矮的,禿頭的還有點結(jié)巴的小獵手。他想變得很厲害,但是他天生的結(jié)巴和低智商讓他的小獵物輕而易舉的就逃脫了。在Chuck Jones'導(dǎo)演的Elmer's Candid Camera(1940.)Elmer Fudd幾乎每次都先被獵物發(fā)現(xiàn)。他經(jīng)常跟兔八哥同臺演出,雖然他也經(jīng)常獨當一面,自己主演,還有跟Daffy Duck, Sylvester, the Goofy Gophers 和其他角色也合作過。他的最出名的也是家喻戶曉的一句口頭禪就是“小點,小點聲,我在捉兔子呢!”
