Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"A Star is Bored" is a 1956 Looney Tunes theatrical short directed by Friz Freleng, starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, with a few appearances by Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd.Bugs is a movie star. Daffy, jealous of Bugs' success, decides to become a star himself. The movie producers grant Daffy's request — by having him perform as Bugs' stunt double.Not to be confused with the 1962 Bugs Bunny Show episode of the same name, which incidentally featured this cartoon as part of that (the bridging sequences of which have been released as a bonus on the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection" line of DVDs).The short was remade in the Seven Arts era as "Rodent To Stardom", with Daffy's then-regular co-star Speedy Gonzales taking Bugs' role. | |

Always Someone Better: Daffy resents Bugs' stature as a movie star and wants to be a movie star himself — only to be cast as Bugs' stunt double, a clear humiliation for Daffy. And when Daffy finally becomes a star in his own right, it is hinted that Bugs had written the duck's script so that his humiliation never ends. | |

Bowdlerization | |

Bowdlerization: Both the syndicated version of The Merrie Melodies Show and The WB censored the two scenes of Daffy getting shot, first by Yosemite Sam in Bugs' movie ("I dare you!") and then by hunters in his own movie ("I wonder where all the hunters are today!"). However, whereas Merrie Melodies would simply cut the visuals of the gunshots by replacing them with shots of Bugs, The WB would cut these scenes completely. In addition, The WB would entirely rearrange the sequence of events in the cartoon. Originally, it went as follows: 1) Daffy replacing Bugs in the scene with Sam; 2) Daffy as Elmer attempting to saw through Bugs' tree branch; 3) Daffy as Bugs fishing, but getting eaten by a fish; 4) Elmer chasing Bugs through the forest and Daffy trying to shoot Bugs through a tree hole only to have the barrel come out of a rabbit hole; and 5) Daffy replacing Bugs for the airplane scene. The WB would show the fishing scene first, then the tree branch scene, before doing the last two scenes, and entirely cut the scene with Sam. | |
