And what does it all have to do with Bugs Bunny anyway? It all begins in 1925. A young lad of 12 (kids were called young lads back then) went to the movies. He probably paid less than ten cents to see it, too, the lucky stiff! Anyway, the movie was called (can you guess?) The Lost World.  It starred Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger. He looked way kewl. Here's a picture of him. Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger in The Lost World 1925. Don't point that rifle at us, bud. Professor Challenger brings a Brontosaurus back to London and makes a terrible traffic jam years before freeways were invented. Unable to get into this ritzy London museum to see the famous paintings, this Brontosaurus is plenty upset, you bet. The lad was so impressed with all this that he went home and immediately built a puppet of the brontosaurus that became the basis of hmmm... well you'll have to wait and see. Anyway, it stuck in his memory until he was grown up into an adult named Robert Clampett. Actually, he was called Robert Clampett even when he was a lad, but that's not as dramatic sounding. Meanwhile, Robert -- or Bob as he was sometimes called -- had become an animator and worked at Warner Brothers studios where he directed Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny cartoons.   more Television, puppets and Stan Freberg
