Just curious to know if What's Opera Doc, the Bugs Bunny & Elmer Rudd cartoon, has ever been released on super 8mm?

Yes!

I have a print. I bought it used (Derann used list, about 2010) and it's not in original packaging, so I don't know who printed it.

-but it exists.

At the same time I got a print of "Wabbitt Twouble", also on a Bonum reel and labeled in the same handwriting, so somebody did me a favor.

Thanks Steve. Does it still have good color?

Posted by Steve Klare (Member # 12) on September 19, 2019, 02:43 PM:

Yes, the color is good, sharpness, not quite perfect.

Sound is downright Operatic! (Just as it should be!)

My Dad didn't like Bugs very much, described him as a "wise ass".

(Never mind that he was just defending himself most of the time.)

-but Dad loved classical music and this is the cartoon that actually brought him over to Bugs Fandom!

I have this print as well and the color has held up well, though I do not think that it is a low fade print, just eastman that has held up well. I'll have to look at it.

I'll have to take a picture of it and put it up here. But for a number of years, i used to correspond with Chuck Jones (I was at one time an aspiring animator), and on my birthday one year (1987) Chuck Jones did a pencil sketch of Bugs "Brunhilde" Bunny for me!
