right. you had so many different stars, you had bugs and you had daffy and you had elmer fud, yosemite sam, the roadrunner, the coyote. that s quite a lot. they did pretty good. the animated stars were as big as any movie star, certainly, that we knew, and as children they were much bigger. audiences could relate to these characters. we saw ourselves in mickey. he was us. he was the small guy fighting against the system. bugs bunny who was kind of a brooklyn street fighter, they represented us. and usually the bad guys were the landlords, the boss, the hunter, the person who was taking away something from us. and we could laugh at their antics. what they re doing to get back. it made us feel better. it empowered us. bugs bunny, daffy duck, wiley
