Near live action Hollywood was an animated city where the Looney Tunes live. It was spring and the sun was out shining all over. The green forest near the city was had the greenest leaves and the grass, the bluest skies and water and the brownest tree trunks.

Bugs Bunny was walking through the woods, though not his usual cheerily self. He was holding a carrot that was rotten. He stopped and turned to the audience.

"Normally, I'd say 'What's up, Doc?'," he told them, "but I'd thought today ya'd ask me that question." He paused for them. "'What's up, Doc?' I'll tell ya what's up, doc. It all began this morning when..."


Bugs arrived at Warner Bros. Studios to film his next cartoon, but when he got there, he discovered that the cartoon was already being shot with Daffy Duck in his place. And when the cartoon was a wrap, the executives were so impressed with Daffy that they decided to give all the scripts Bugs was going to star in to the greedy duck.

"What?" exclaimed Bugs.

"Yeah, you've been the biggest star of Looney Tunes for all these years," said the Chief Executive. "We're getting a little bit sick of you and we thought it's time for someone else to be the star."

"Finally!" cheered Daffy. "After all these years, I've finally burrowed the rabbit!"

"But I have the most fans!" protested Bugs.

"Then start using them to cool you down!" laughed Daffy, as he happily ran the room, congratulating himself.

Bugs just left without another word.


Later that day, Bugs was called into a meeting at Acme Looniversity. He was called into the principal's office, where he was met by the Superintendent.

"What's up, doc?" asked Bugs.

"Well, I'll be blunt, like this knife," said the Superintendent, holding a very sharp, shiny knife. "Despite all the progress that's going on in this school, I'm afraid I'm going to have to replace you with someone who can give the students a better education."

Bugs left the office and walked to the classroom where he used to teach. He saw his students with the new teacher, who was a live action fat man, through the window.

"Okay, class," said the teacher. "My name is Ted Schneebly. But you can call me Mr. S if that's easier for you."

"He couldn't, by any chance, be the brother of the teacher Ned Schneebly from The School of Rock?" asked Plucky Duck.

"I bet his name is really Huey Finn, the brother of Dewey Finn," thought Buster Bunny.

"Now, class, it's time we started our new class project," said the teacher. "It's called 'Jazz Band'".

Bugs couldn't take it anymore. He left the school for good.


Things went from bad to worse when Bugs decided to drop in at Lola Bunny's pink house. He got her red roses and chocolates. He rang her doorbell, but there came no reply. He waited and waited for a whole hour before noticing a letter on her doorstep. He picked up and it was for him. He opened it and it read:

'Dear Bugs,

You know I've been doing very well in my basketball career around here and the NBA has chosen me to play for their next season. I start in about three days so I had to leave today and I won't be back for a long time. But when I'm finished, I will come and see you. Or – better – please come and visit me.

Yours faithfully,

Lola Bunny.'

"What a shock!" snapped Bugs. "I can't believe that I have spent $50 on red roses and chocolates for my girlfriend who just left without sayin' goodbye!"

He angrily threw them across the road where they landed on Foghorn Leghorn. "Well now, what, I say, what have we got here?" he asked, studying the chocolates and the red roses. "We can't, I say, we can't let these go to waste."

He picked up the red roses and planted them in the nearest pink rose garden. Then he ate the chocolates.


"So, ya see," Bugs said to the audience, "either da world's changin' or my luck's runnin' out."

Bugs just continued to sit outside his rabbit hole. Elmer Fudd came by with his gun and walked past Bugs. "What's up, doc?" Bugs asked.

"I'm hunting wabbits!" Elmer replied before walking off.

Then Yosemite Sam came by and walked past Bugs.

"Who's botherin' you this time?" asked Bugs.

"Oh, just some tall, smartless, two-eared, no-good varmint!" Sam answered, before running off.

"I wonda what dis creature could be if not moi," said Bugs to the audience. He found out when Sam was chasing a giraffe! But then the giraffe used his neck to grab a tree branch and swing over to let Sam pass. Then he picked the rough cowboy up with his teeth and threw him over the forest.

"You see, folks, even my old enemies don't wanna spend time with me," moaned Bugs. "What's left for me?"

Then he heard a rumbling noise. Very noisy footsteps was coming Bugs's way. He saw something was through the nearest bush. He ran to the nearest tree and climbed it to see three human beings in heavy dark blue suits that looked similar to the armour the Delta Squad wore from Gears of War.

"What could they be?" asked Bugs. "FBI? CIA? Or... CGI?"

The wise-cracking bunny was right. He took a closer look and it was a squad of three computer-generated imagery human beings. They were gathering around his home burrow.

"Eh, what's up, docs?" asked Bugs.

"Docks?" asked one. "We're soldiers, not sailors."

"Not even funny," snapped the second.

"I wasn't joking," protested the first one.

"Both of you put tape around it!" ordered the third one who was the leader. "Field Marshall Bliff Jengheng of the CGI army. Our leader is short of servants and needs some right away."

"What are the requirements?" asked Bugs.

"We need a strong, useful, cheerful creature who won't complain, because, after all, our boss is the busiest person on the planet," said Jengheng, looking at Bugs.

Bugs, wise-cracking as he was, knew what the CGI soldiers were planning. So he asked how much "da salad-ry" was.

"About a million carrots per year," Jengheng told Bugs.

"With an increase income of lettuce and other green vegetables if you work harder every year," the first one chuckled.

"That's pathetic!" muttered the second.

"Well, der is a rabbit down der in dat rabbit hole who needs his money right away," Bugs said, pointing to his hole. "Just go down der to knock on da door and he'll accept da job."

The CGI soldiers went down the hole. Then Bugs had his chance to block the hole with wooden planks and nail them to the ground with nails.

"Ya didn't think I'd fall for that old con, did ya?" Bugs said to the audience.

He began to walk away, but then light-green beam shot up, destroying the wooden planks. The CGI soldiers shot up.

"You think we'd fall for that?" shouted the angry chief.

"We did," said the first one.

Jengheng got out his radio. "Boys, I found the perfect new slave. It's a rabbit – male, grey and hand-drawn animated. I want him alive."
Bugs ran for his life, chased by the soldiers.


Bugs came to a fallen down tree and hit under its roots. He saw the entire squad go past him. He even avoided little tiny hovering machines searching for him.

"Modern machinery is nothing like the old-fashioned, ain't it?" Bugs said to the audience.

He waited for it to turn night. Then he got out.

"Boy, do I feel hungry?" he said to himself. Then he saw one carrot, lying on the ground next to a tree stump. He picked it up and ate it. Then a metal cage came up from the ground and trapped the poor bunny.

The entire CGI army arrived, led by Jengheng and his two close soldiers.

"No one can double-hops Field Marshall Bliff Jengheng!" laughed Jengheng. Then he turned to the army. "Well, don't just stand there with your hideous faces and overgrown muscles! Get this rabbit to the Master!"

Bugs looked up through the bars of the cage to see some sort of CGI spaceship-like rocket flying above him. It looked like a stealth plane but ten times bigger and more darkened rainbow painted. The bottom of the rocket opened and a dark brown light shot down on the cage. It was a tractor beam and it picked the cage up.

"When I get to this "master", I'm going to complain about the services on this rocket," moaned Bugs, before the doors below closed up. Then it flew off.
