▲'''''Bully For Bugs''''' is a [[The Golden Age of Animation|1953]] [[Looney Tunes]] short, directed by [[Chuck Jones]].
▲The short begins with Bugs traveling on his way to the Coachella Valley for the "Big carrot festival, therin." but takes a wrong turn and winds up inside a bullfight arena, and becomes an unwitting victim of Toro the Bull and his horns. Bugs, indignant at this attack, immediately decides to turn the tables, taking up the role of matador and giving the bull his just desserts for the rest of the cartoon.
This cartoon is also notable for a bit of history behind its making, at least according to Chuck Jones: Jones' supervisor, Eddie Selzer, barged into Jones' office one day and announced, completely out of the blue, that "bullfights aren't funny!" Since Jones and his fellow animators [[Anti-Advice|worked from the assumption that Eddie was always wrong about everything]], their only choice was to make a cartoon about bullfighting.
This short is one of [[The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes]]. It can be found on ''[[Looney Tunes|Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 1]]''.

* [[Bullet Seed]]: After accidentally swallowing a rifle, Toro is briefly able to shoot from his horns. His attempt to reload leads him to [[Non Fatal Explosion|disaster]].
* [[Bull Seeing Red]]: Subverted, in that Bugs flapping his cape leads a dazed Toro into following him around the arena in a sort of dance.
