[edit] Synopsis

The Three Bears want something new to eat and decide to try and lure Goldilocks to them with porridge. However, all they have is carrot soup and so lure Bugs Bunny instead. In an attempt to stop them from chasing him, Bugs tells Mama bear that she's beautiful. The plan works, but Bugs now must escape from a love-stricken mama bear.
