Part
of Bugs' great achievement had been to establish a
strong personality who can exist for 7 minutes at
a time, show us a facet of his personality, disappear
for weeks, months, maybe years at a time, then reappear
and still be recognizeable and entertaining. His possibilities
were not exhausted by any single episode. The trick
was not to sustain seven minutes, but to live for
50 years. And once you've sustained over 56 years
of amazing popularity with one generation after another
all over the world, it's hardly likely you're going
to have much trouble sustaining a 90 minute feature.
