What's Up, Doc?

0 upcoming performances in New York

Screening at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens on January 8, 2026, “What’s Up, Doc?” returns as a mid-century Warner Bros. animated short built around the familiar pursuit between Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. Released in 1950 and directed by Robert McKimson, it distills the studio’s house style into brisk timing, precise vocal rhythm, and a sly attitude toward the chase itself. New York audiences have long encountered Looney Tunes through theatrical programs and later television syndication, making the characters part of the city’s shared media literacy. Its sharpest move is how it treats repetition as structure rather than filler.
