"I'm going to love him and squeeze him....

...and call him George." What cartoon is this from? If anyone knows, do you also know where I can purchase it?

Thanks for your help!

That's from the Looney Tunes short The Abominable Snow Rabbit (1961), directed by Chuck Jones.

Hugo, the Abominable Snowman, was basically patterned after Lenny Small, one of the main characters in John Stienbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. Hence the line, "I'll call him George."

, kmiller!

The Abominable Snow Rabbit (click on the title for more info from BCDB!) was released on the videotapes Looney Tunes After Dark and Bugs Bunny: Big Top Bunny.

An excerpt appeared in the 1988 Warner Bros. feature film Daffy Duck's Quackbusters, which was also released on video.

Used copies of Bugs Bunny: Big Top Bunny are available for $8.94 and up from Amazon.com.
