Bugs Bunny: Superstar

Bugs Bunny: Superstar is a 1975 Looney Tunes documentary film, narrated by Orson Welles and produced and directed by Larry Jackson. The film includes nine Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons which were previously released during the 1940s  : It also includes interviews with some legendary Warner Bros. animation directors of that period: Friz Freleng, Tex Avery and especially Bob Clampett, who has the most screen time. Some contemporary critics pointed out that Clampett's important role, as one of the primary developers of the early Warner cartoons, was slanted to some degree, due to... his prominent presence in this film. The documentary infuriated many of the Warner Bros. artists as Clampett liberally took credit for much of the Warner creations. For this reason, Chuck Jones left out Clampett's name in the 1979 compilation film The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie when Bugs discusses about his fathers and his 1989 autobiography Chuck Amuck.
