A Character Appears in Drag
Cross-dressing is an important part of the Warner universe, especially for Bugs Bunny. A local art-house theatre in my area has done a "Bugs in Drag" retrospective several times now. Armed with this list, you can make your own! [I didn't count cases where a character is shown wearing unexpected clothing purely for comic effect - to make this list, they actually must present themselves as a female character to another character in the cartoon. So Bugs as the shoe customer in "Hare Conditioned" counts, but when the store manager appears in lingerie later, it doesn't.]
