What's Opera Doc Limited Edition

Description

The Official Chuck Jones Virtual Experience is pleased to offer LOONEY TUNES fans “What’s Opera, Doc?,” a limited-edition artwork from the 1957 Chuck Jones-directed What’s Opera, Doc?

The legendary Academy Award–winning animation director and artist Chuck Jones (1912–2002) reshaped animation through sharp wit, expressive character design, and sophisticated humor. His work continues to influence animation, fine art, and popular culture, earning him a permanent place among the most important figures of the Golden Age of Animation.

The artwork captures Bugs Bunny on horseback in a lavish, operatic parody, with a dramatic costume and an expressive pose. Jones’s mastery of theatrical exaggeration and visual storytelling is fully on display, creating a scene that is as humorous as it is iconic.

The inspiration for this work of art comes from the 1957 Chuck Jones-directed short What’s Opera, Doc?, which parodies Wagnerian opera. The cartoon features Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in a richly stylized fantasy world, blending high art, comedy, and animation innovation. Often hailed as one of the greatest cartoons ever created, it showcases Jones’s genius in combining classical music with animated storytelling.

This artwork is part of the six-piece Classics on Canvas collection.

The What’s Opera, Doc? Limited-Edition artwork is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
