Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles

Carnival of the Animals is a combination animation/live action
television special, starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, and directed by
Chuck Jones. Premiering on CBS on November 22, 1976, and consisting
entirely of new animation, this prime time TV special represented Bugs
Bunny and company's first foray into prime time television since the
early 1960s. Carnival of the Animals was purposely cast in the
successful mold of Jones' own earlier musical cartoons - Rabbit of
Seville, Long-Haired Hare and Baton Bunny - and set the familiar showbiz
rivalry between Bugs and Daffy against the orchestral backdrop of
musician Michael Tilson Thomas, in a performance based on the music of
Camille Saint-Saens and the poetry of Ogden Nash.
