This is a hand painted limited edition cel featuring Wile E. Coyote and Bugs Bunny. Each has been signed by Warner Bros. director Darrell Van Citters. We are used to the Road Runner, not Bugs Bunny, pairing up against Wile E. Coyote. But when that pairing does occur, it's more a match of wit and will (and brilliance...somewhat), that finds the game of rabbit vs. coyote. In the 1952 classic Operation: Rabbit, directed by Chuck Jones, Wile E. Coyote seeks a rabbit dinner of Bugs Bunny by employing all his physical attributes, his intellectual prowess as well. Elaborate inventions, all of which waver between brilliance and desperation, fail miserably for Wile E., until we once again understand who the real genius is in this cartoon.

Hand-painted limited editions recreate classic moments from great cartoons, using the same materials and techniques as were used in making the originals. Some limited editions are exact reproductions of frames from the films they represent, while others, such as Chuck Jones’ limited editions, are based on contemporary interpretations of great characters and scenes.
In either case, the animator’s drawing is transferred onto acetate cels, then each is meticulously hand-painted by studio artists. Each piece is hand-numbered in small edition sizes of between 100 and 750. In some cases the finished cels are then signed by the animator.
As the great majority of original cels from the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s are no longer in existence, limited edition cels allow collectors an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy some of the greatest moments in the history of animation.
