Carrotblanca is a 1995 theatrical Looney Tunes short starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Tweety, Pepé Le Pew, Yosemite Sam, and most surprisingly Penelope Pussycat. It played before The Amazing Panda Adventure in North America, and before The Pebble and the Penguin in international areas.The short is an Affectionate Parody of the classic film Casablanca, being a Whole-Plot Reference with just a bit of a looney twist. When a German scientist is found unconscious courtesy of a frying pan to the head and an important document is stolen, General Pandemonium (Yosemite Sam) arrives in Carrotblanca to apprehend the culprit. It winds up being Usmarte (Tweety Bird), who brings said document to the nightclub, Café au lait américain — and its owner Bugs Bunny. Usmarte plans to hand the document to an unknown recipient, who is shown to be Sylvester Slazlo; with him is his wife Kitty Ketty (Penelope), who just so happens to be Bugs's old flame. While the rabbit is sent into a downward spiral by Kitty's return, he's soon called on to help save Sylvester from the General.

The Cameo
 Carrotblanca / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: There are several Looney Tunes characters making a "blink and you'll miss it" appearance here. Patrons at the nightclub include Porky Pig, Barnyard Dawg, Beaky Buzzard, Miss Prissy, Gossamer, Mugsy and Nasty Canasta. Workers there include Giovanni Jones as a maitre'd, the Crusher as a doorman and Pete Puma as a waiter. Foghorn Leghorn appears in silhouette to announce the document's theft. Sam Sheepdog is Pandemonium's chauffeur. When Daffy drops all of the luggage, Elmer Fudd can be seen mixed in with it.

Mythology Gag: The airport announcer calling flights to "Anaheim, Azusa and Cu... camonga!" is one not to Looney Tunes exactly (thought it was used once or twice) but to Mel Blanc as the train announcer in The Jack Benny Program.

 Carrotblanca / int_4a5fcde
comment
Adaptational Alternate Ending: This short makes a major change to its source material's famously Bittersweet Ending; Sylvester drags Kitty onto the plane before Bugs can even make a goodbye speech, but she jumps off when she sees that Pepe is on it as well, reuniting with Bugs for good and thus rejecting her husband.

Throw the Dog a Bone
 Carrotblanca / int_98576799
comment
Throw the Dog a Bone: In a meta sense, given that Penelope is mostly known for constantly being hounded by a Casanova Wannabe who reeks to high heavens, it's rather cathartic to see her in a consensual relationship with a guy she genuinely likes.

 Carrotblanca / int_a91078ea
comment
Adaptational Jerkass: Bugs is far from his usual Karmic Trickster self here. He's openly apathetic to whatever Sylvester's plans with the document are and has no interest in helping him when Kitty comes to get his help. The only times he deals with Pandemonium are when the soldier harasses him over the stolen document and when he saves Sylvester, which he only does after Kitty manages to guilt him into it. Unsurprising, given he's playing the role of Rick Blaine here.
