Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales (1979)

This offering includes three original 8-minute shorts. In Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol, Bugs dresses up like a ghost and harasses Yosemite Sam's Scrooge character. Freeze Frame is a Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner short and one of the weakest entries in the series. The Tazmanian Devil drops in on Bugs in the telling of The Fright Before Christmas. Not the best that Looney Tunes has to offer, but it does feature Friz Freleng/Chuck Jones animation and Mel Blanc characterizations, so not all is lost.
