1 In the opening scene we see a matador dressed in his finest clothes. The entire stadium cheers as he majestically soaks up the applause. Then he opens one eye slightly to observe the audience and does what?
Answer: sneers

It's the little things like this that make "Looney Tunes" the greatest.
The huge and furious bull breathes stars as he storms into the arena. As the bull charges, the matador becomes more and more frightened, finally abandoning his cape and fleeing before the bull.
Chuck Jones put himself in the role of the matador in this cartoon because he would have did exactly the same-- run like heck.

2 Known for his apparently bottomless stomach, dizzy demeanor, and guttural 'speech', what character is actually based on a quadruped of the southern hemisphere?
Answer: Taz

Taz is (very loosely) based on Tasmanian devils; his endless appetite is tribute to the oft-held idea that devils will eat anything. While drawing Taz, the animators apparently decided to also incorporate other 'devils' into his character - the dust devil spinning, and hair that looks like horns on his head being two. Taz first appeared in the episode "Devil May Hare", where he wanted to eat Bugs.

6 What is the name of the female bunny that sometimes appears as the love interest for Bugs Bunny in "Looney Tunes"?
Answer: Lola

Lola does not appear in a lot of the cartoons but she does play several supporting roles behind Bugs. In other episodes, Bugs has also been distracted by a robot female bunny. He even sometimes dresses up as a female himself in order to distract whomever is chasing him in a given episode.

Babs is the name of the female bunny in the TV series "Tiny Toons" (much more recent) and is not ever in "Looney Tunes".

The other two are made up.

11 Daffy first appeared in "Porky's Duck Hunt". Although many modern features of Daffy are not present, this cartoon established that he tends to make what noise when he does something screwy?
Answer: Hoo hoo!

"Porky's Duck Hunt" features the common Looney Tunes trope of the hunter (Porky Pig) getting outwitted by his prey (Daffy Duck), although Elmer Fudd hunting Bugs Bunny is far more famous.

Early Daffy Duck cartoons emphasize his "Daffy" side. Daffy frequently does crazy things and then ends up bouncing around hollering "hoo hoo!" or even "Woo hoo!" (which has now been more famously used by another famous animated character, Homer Simpson). In the uncut original version of "Porky's Duck Hunt", Daffy even bounces all around the end credits.

Always calm about his situation, Bugs decides to ask the 'gent in the fancy knickerbockers', who speeds past. Bugs follows and as he asks him if he knows the shortest route to the Coachella Valley (and the big carrot festival therein). The matador ignores him and climbs over the wall in a panic.
"Eh, whats up doc?" Bugs asks.

13 Prepared to make his fame and fortune, where does The Man in "One Froggy Evening" go first?
Answer: Acme Theatrical Agency

The Frog will perform for one person and one person only- the demolition worker. Otherwise he assumes the attitude of 'a glob of mud' without bones, which is how he acts when the talent agent sees him.
Acme was into everything back then: Construction and Demolition, Theatrical agents, Anvils, Little Red Wagons, Hot air balloons, etc. I suspect their theatrical agency was most interested in finding gullible coyotes (famishus, famishus).

In each of these films, Elmer Fudd is hunting animals with a gun, and the two try to persuade Elmer to shoot the other one. Bugs always wins, usually by getting Daffy to tell Elmer to shoot the duck, because Daffy always gets too excited and doesn't pay attention to what he's saying.
