Baton Bunny

Baton Bunny is a Bugs Bunny cartoon of the Looney Tunes series, produced in 1958 and released in January 10, 1959. It shows Bugs conducting an orchestra - with a fly bothering him. Bugs conducts, and in part, plays the overture to "Ein Morgen, ein Mittag und Abend in Wien" ", a composition by Franz von Suppé. Though Mel Blanc was credited for vocal characterizations, there is no dialogue in the short; the only vocal effect made was when an audience member is heard coughing. This is the third and last Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs is silent. Or, nearly silent; at one point, he 'shushes' the brass. This is also the last cartoon to get a Merrie Melodies Blue Ribbon reissue in 1968.
