Plot

Bugs Bunny finds himself inadvertently embroiled in a bullfighting spectacle while en route to the Coachella Valley for a carrot festival. Upon stumbling into a Spanish bullring, Bugs becomes the target of Toro the Bull, who is engaged in a confrontation with a matador. Despite attempting to seek assistance from the matador for directions, Bugs is met with disregard, prompting him to confront Toro himself.

Determined to retaliate against Toro's aggression, Bugs dons matador attire and employs clever tactics to outwit the bull. Utilizing an anvil concealed within his cape, Bugs manages to subdue Toro momentarily, only to face a resilient adversary capable of detaching his horns for a counterattack. The ensuing battle between Bugs and Toro unfolds with comedic flair, marked by inventive strategies and physical slapstick humor.

Amidst the escalating conflict, Bugs employs inventive traps and comedic banter to outsmart Toro, culminating in an explosive finale orchestrated through a series of humorous mishaps and Rube Goldberg-esque contraptions. Ultimately, Bugs emerges victorious, utilizing quick thinking and resourcefulness to outmaneuver Toro and secure his escape.

Development

In his biography Chuck Amuck, Chuck Jones claims that he made this cartoon after producer Eddie Selzer burst into Jones' workspace one day and announced, for no readily apparent reason, that there was nothing funny about bullfighting and no cartoons about it were to be made.[3] Since Selzer had, in Jones' opinion, consistently proven himself to be wrong about absolutely everything (having once barred Jones from doing any cartoons featuring Pepé Le Pew, on the grounds that he perceived them as not being funny, which led to Jones and Maltese to do For Scent-imental Reasons, which won an Oscar, which Selzer accepted), the only possible option was to make the cartoon. The sounds of the crowd and the bull are recorded from a genuine bullfighting crowd in Barcelona, Spain. The boulder to the face gag was reused from Rabbit Punch five years earlier, which was also directed by Chuck Jones.

Reception

Darrell Van Citters writes, "This film hits squarely in director Chuck Jones' sweet spot and features most of the creative team we've come to associate with his best work... Both the writing and directing are self-assured, and there is no wasted effort anywhere in the film. Jones was a master of timing and the expressive hold. Often his holds would be followed up by the movement of one body part, such as an eyebrow raise, making the statement even more effective. In his best films, such as Bully for Bugs, his timing revealed character, making the moment all the funnier."[4]
