Easter Yeggs

Easter Yeggs is a 1947 Looney Tunes theatrical animated short. The cartoon was released on June 28, 1947, and features Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. The title is a play on "Easter eggs" and on "yegg", a slang term for a burglar or safecracker. The voice and characterization of the Easter Bunny in the short is a reference to a character that Mel Blanc performed on the Burns and Allen radio show, the morose Happy Postman, even including the character's catch phrase, "Remember, keep smiling."

Plot
Bugs Bunny encounters the distressed Easter Bunny, who solicits his assistance due to sore feet preventing the delivery of Easter eggs. Unbeknownst to Bugs, the Easter Bunny habitually delegates this duty to unwitting substitutes.

Bugs, assuming the responsibility, faces a series of misadventures. At the initial dwelling, inhabited by the bellicose Dead End Kid, Bugs suffers physical assault and intimidation, prompting a swift retreat. Despite his resolve to resign, the Easter Bunny persuades Bugs to persist. However, subsequent efforts lead Bugs into the clutches of Elmer Fudd, a seasoned rabbit hunter intent on ensnaring Bugs for his "Easter Wabbit Stew". Through quick thinking and resourcefulness, Bugs outwits Elmer, culminating in a chaotic escapade involving a bomb cleverly disguised as an Easter egg.

The narrative concludes with Bugs leaving the Easter Bunny in a precarious predicament while Bugs revels in his triumph.
