Chiniquy also animated the opening title for "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" at DePatie-Freleng...as for Daffy, he has a point. Here he is, wearing his feet out and getting little recognition for it, yet all Bugs has to do is show himself, do a few steps, and the audience goes wild. But Daffy's ego is one reason WHY the audience won't give him the same acknowledgment {"I'm sick of people taking bows for MY talent!!"}. Only when he blows himself up at the end does the audience give him thunderous applause!
I would've clapped for Daffy. Even if he's a bitch sometimes I feel bad for him because nobody notices him or admires his talent. Just like Squidward.
@Metaldog67 - True. For their "Bugs Bunny & Friends" umbrella (the type, all lower case, set in Cooper Black); coming in when Daffy exclaimed "We're on!," and ending after they exit the stage. The use of this scene, with them dancing to "Tea for Two," for this open may've dated to as early as 1971 when the Broadway revival of "No! No! Nanette" was still playing.
@wmbrown6 By the time the short was released in 1957, Warren Covington along with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra had a big instrumental hit with "Tea For Two Cha Cha" a year later in 1958.
Animator Gerry Chiniquy was director Freleng's resident dance expert, and this man did his best with this sequence.....Chiniquy also animated ALL of "Three Little Bops."
The fact Freleng did no musical cartoons between 1950 and 1954 - the years Chiniquy was absent - was tacit acknowledgement Freleng couldn't do a film like that without him.
@nnwahler Pizzicato Pussycat was a musical Freleng cartoon made without Chiniquy. And there are several of his musical cartoons where the best footage is done by others (Rhapsody Rabbit for one). Regardless, Chiniquy was indeed a great animator, albeit by the time of this cartoon much of his animation became stock, stiff, and ugly.
I agree. I don't know the whole song, yet I find the tune popping in my head now and then. I even sometimes hum it. Gotta learn the whole song so that I can fully sing it.
The sequence as seen here from 0:07 to 0:43 was used by New York's WNEW-TV (now WNYW) starting in the early 1970's for their "Bugs Bunny and Friends" series ("Show Biz Bugs" was among the 100 post-'48 cartoons held by WNEW since their release to TV in 1964).
Thank you, & it's not just this, several old time melodies that I really liked but never knew the names of were sampled for the Looneys, such as "Those Endearing young Charms" for exploding piano, & "Hearts & Flowers" on violin for mock-tragedy. Those gags never get old, do they?
Clearly daffy had better skills

The best bit was where Daffy set up a whole bunch of athletic equipment, only for his feathered relatives to fly out the stage door.

Even though I love Bugs, I feel really sorry for Daffy sometimes. D: He never gets the recognition he deserves and Bugs is always in the spotlight.
