Toro the Bull

Toro the Bull is a character created by Chuck Jones in the Looney Tunes series of shorts. He is a large feisty dangerous bull covered in black hair and a grey muzzle with sharp horns and red eyes. He's fearless and very proud of his own strength. Toro's moos were recorded during bullfights in Spain.

Appearances[]

Shorts[]

He made his debut appearance in the short "Bully for Bugs". He makes short work of the regular matadors, then a burrowing Bugs Bunny surfaces in the bullring. They battle back and forth but Bugs ultimately wins the war.

He would later make two appearances, both of which in stock footage from "Bully for Bugs"; first in "Hare-abian Nights" as Bugs tells caliph Yosemite Sam his encounter, and again in the opening scene of "Mexican Cat Dance", again quickly dispatching the matador.

Movies[]

Toro the Bull appears at the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, auditioning with other cartoon cows at the Maroon Cartoon Studios for a part in a cartoon.

Toro also appears in the films Space Jam (where Daffy Duck paints Monstar Pound's butt red, causing the bull to charge at it) and Looney Tunes Back in Action.

Video Games[]

Toro has also appeared in several Looney Tunes games, such as Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage, where he is tricked by Bugs and runs into steel grinders, Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble, in the level "Bully for Bugs" (which itself is based on the cartoon of the same name), and Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time, in the La Corrida boss level. He also appears in Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal as the boss of the level "Bully for Porky" along with Hyde Porky, in Looney Tunes: Back in Action: The Video Game where he is rampaging in the Louvre, and in Looney Tunes World of Mayhem as Lunar Toro, a Chinese lunar new year variant, El Espectro, a wrestler toon variant, and his original variant.
