On Christmas Eve the day before yesterday, Uncle Meat saw a sad message:
Bob Givens died at the age of 99.
You may not know the name, but you must know his "son"—
Bugs Bunny
This radish-loving, eccentric rabbit contracted Uncle Meat throughout his childhood.
Every night at dinner time, when I hear the familiar opening song on the TV, I can't wait to move the small bench.
Listening to familiar melodies, Uncle Meat takes you back to the story of Grandpa Bob Givons and Bugs Bunny.

Bob Givens began working at Disney in 1937 and later moved to Warner Bros.
The image of "Bugs Bunny" is the result of five or six improvements by the hands of several animators.
The rabbit first appeared in the 1940 animated short film A Wild Hare.
At that time, it was not the image of the current bunny, it had bigger teeth and a rounder head.
The name is also not "Bugs Rabbit", but "Happy Rabbit".
Bob thought it was too cute and not smart enough after reading it.
So he changed the rabbit's head to an oval shape, the teeth to be smaller, and the cheeks wider.
After several versions of improvements, Bugs Bunny finally changed from "cute" to...
Cute.
Unlike most animated rabbits, its body language is very exaggerated and its facial expressions are also very rich.
Walk with wind and super confident.
In 1940, the series of animations named "Bugs Bunny" was finally released, and each episode was only 5-10 minutes long, short and humorous.
In addition to the protagonist Bugs Rabbit, there are also the duffy ducks we are familiar with, pig brothers, birds Tridy, bb birds and big bad wolves...
But Bugs Bunny is definitely the smartest of them all.
Trying to trick the dog out of his mouth, a few pairs of eyes back and forth took the rhythm and got it.
Dog: I don't give!
Rabbit: You give!
Rabbit: You don't give!
Dog: I'm partial!
Rabbit: Okay, bring it on!
Trying to escape from prison, she tricked the prison guards into escaping, and quietly Mimi stuffed the iron lump on her foot into the barrel of the gun. As soon as the prison guards fired cannons... so easy
Michael Schofield looked at it and was going to cry.
The most "despicable" thing is that every time it flirts with the enemy and wins a big victory, it will make a landmark action -
Nibble on radish.
This habit is actually... It's not because rabbits love turnips.
Rather, it is derived from the 1934 film One Night In which Clark Gable starred.
In the film, the male protagonist Peter Vaughn, played by Gable, leans on the fence and chews a carrot, which is very popular with the audience after broadcasting.
So the director also let Brother Rabbit learn this honey juice dashing and uninhibited action.
After nibbling on the radish, it usually has a sign:
How's it going, guys? （what's up, doc？ ）
It's a slang phrase from Hare director Edward Avery's hometown of Texas.
In addition to being responsible for funny, Bugs Bunny also wears several hats.
In the 1940s, they discovered that American adults loved to watch bugs bunny, so the rabbit was used as a mascot for World War II.
In Super Rabbit in 1943, Bugs Bunny put on a Marine Corps uniform.
Warner also worked with other animation studios, such as Disney, to produce short films in which animated characters lured Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese to attract Americans into the army.

Although his fame is slightly inferior to Mickey's, Bugs Bunny has won many awards.
It "starred" in more than 167 animated shorts, a 1957 episode of What is Opera? ", telling the story of Bugs Rabbit wrestling with hunters in an opera duet.
Ranked 22nd in the "Century of Animation 100 Works" at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
In 1958, "Brave Knight Rabbit Bugs" won the 31st Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.

On December 10, 1985, Bugs Bunny honorably became the second animated character to leave a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after Mickey.
Of course, the most well-known to our Chinese audience is the 1996 live-action animated film "Slam Dunk in the Air".
Although the film was scolded by film critics, it was a huge hit at the box office, attracting $230 million worldwide.
Although There is a "girlfriend" Lola of Bugs Bunny in the film, we still talk more about the "basic love" of Jordan and Bugs Bunny.
Don't believe you see, later Bugs Bunny also helped Nike-Jordan brand endorsement.
It is said that "Slam Dunk in the Air 2" will be released next year, starring LeBron James and directing by Lin Yibin, director of "Rapid Shock".
Unfortunately Bob Givens can't see it anymore.
In addition to being Bugs Bunny's "biological father," Bob Givens contracted us throughout our childhood.
He was involved in Tom and Jerry and Popeye.
Unfortunately, until his death, there were still many people who did not know him.
Thank you Bob Givens for bringing us a wonderful childhood.
