Largely animated by Manny Gould (another animator worked on Bugs’s soft shoe dance).
This is possibly one of my favourite McKimson shorts, mainly because of how lively he made Bugs here with all the acts he's trying to perform, especially his scat-singing and dancing, much to the scientists’ disapproval.

I forgot to answer this question: will I do another 365? Most likely not, though I may post something Looney Tunes-related or non-LT related every now and then; just not on a daily basis as I did this year.

While I was doing this, nearly eight HUNDRED classic LTs have found a home on Tubi, readily available for free. Not to mention, MeTV and MeTV Toons also keep the cartoons in circulation. It’s also great to see physical media releases of the films, with more to come next year.

I’m happy that folks have enjoyed “365 Days of Tunes.” I started doing this because, in the back of my mind, I had a feeling the current affairs of 2025 would be an absolute dumpster fire. So why not give people at least 6-7 minutes of joy on a daily basis?

I'm not sure if it was deliberate, but I've always felt the frog's serenading in this scene was a subtle nod to Joan Blondell in GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933.
