IMDb profile

Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears is a Warner Brothers Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon short released in 1944, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Tedd Pierce. This short marks the first appearance of Jones' dysfunctional version of The Three Bears, and of course is a parody of the old fairy tale, Goldilocks and The Three Bears.

Mel Blanc provides the voices of Bugs, and Papa Bear (using a raucous voice similar to Yosemite Sam only a little higher pitched). Mama Bear is voiced by Bea Benaderet, while Kent Rogers voiced dim-witted Junior.

[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, who stops him at ever door until he plows through a wall to escape. He makes it back to his hole to find Mama Bear already there who then proceeds to kiss him he appears out of the hole covered in lipstick. It ends with Bugs running away screaming.
