Easter Yeggs is a 1947 Looney Tunes theatrical animated short.[1] The cartoon was released on June 28, 1947, and features Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.[2] The title is a play on "Easter eggs" and on "yegg", a slang term for a burglar or safecracker. The voice and characterization of the Easter Bunny in the short is a reference to a character that Mel Blanc performed on the Burns and Allen radio show, the morose Happy Postman, even including the character's catch phrase, "Remember, keep smiling."[3]
