Bugs Bunny goes to a military base where he meets up with a mischievous gremlin who gets the better of him.
KS3 idea: Following the opening scene to establish the air base location, there are a number of places in this soundtrack where Carl Stalling uses one-to-one music techniques, i.e. where a particular movement on screen is exactly synchronised with a particular sound that portrays it. How many can pupils spot as the movie plays through? (Pause the movie if somebody puts their hand up.) There are also some unusually long build-ups (e.g. mallet backswing, rushing the plane door, plummeting to earth). Discuss what musical tricks are used to maintain the build up for so long and encourage pupils to use musical vocabulary accurately.
