Bugs Bunny could be the greatest cartoon star ever conceived. Strange, then, that the full battery of his cartoons have never been released on video. Until now, that is!

Pac-Man is one of gaming's greatest stars, but for a time, he was also a hot commodity on television. Hanna-Barbera's attempt to adapt a video game character to the TV screen was the first of its kind, and it posed certain challenges; how does one convert a non-descript disc into a living, personable, relatable character?
