The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (originally titled The Great American Chase) is a 1979 Looney Tunes film with a compilation of classic Warner Bros. cartoon shorts and animated bridging sequences, hosted by Bugs Bunny. These cartoons, which also feature Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, Marvin the Martian, and Pepe le Pew, include (in order):
The cartoons are followed by a 15-minute compilation featuring the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, culled from 12 cartoons (*To Beep or Not to Beep, Zoom and Bored, Hopalong Casualty, Whoa Be-Gone!, Ready, Set, Zoom!, There They Go-Go-Go!, Zipping Along, Gee Whiz-z-z-z, Going! Going! Gosh!, Stop! Look! And Hasten!, Beep Prepared, Hip Hip-Hurry!, Fast and Furry-ous.).
The cartoons and bridging scenes were directed by Charles M. Jones, written by Michael Maltese, and backgrounds and animation contributed by Maurice Noble and Ben Washam.
A running gag is established at the film's beginning; Chuck Jones had put the "That's all folks!" card in the wrong place, which was right after the original 1972 Warner Bros. opening logo (replaced with a new WB logo on the DVD release). Bugs Bunny then steps in on the scene and squeezes a giant "NOT" in between the words to create the phrase, "That's NOT all folks!" This happens again at the end; "That's all Folks!" was being written again, but Bugs stops it in mid-sentence and makes it rewrite as "That's not quite all Folks!" before the credits roll. Right at the end, just before the 1972 Warner Bros. logo (or 2003 Warner Bros. Television logo on the DVD version), the Warner Bros. shield zooms out to the screen on the rings, with Bugs on top of it. He then says, "Eat your heart out, Burt Reynolds!", and both he and the shield zoom back out. The closing catchphrase appears one more time, this time written as "That's really all Folks!".
