Two Guys from Texas is a 1948 American Western musical film starring longtime song-and-dance partners Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson. Directed by David Butler, it was written by Allen Boretz and I.A.L. Diamond, and features Dorothy Malone and Penny Edwards in support.

Production

The film is noted today for featuring an animated cameo appearance of hit Warner Bros. cartoon character Bugs Bunny, voiced by Mel Blanc. Friz Freleng, the studio's leading animation director, was assigned to direct an animated dream sequence in which Bugs gives some advice to a lovelorn caricature of Jack Carson.

Bugs would later have a similar cameo in 1949's My Dream Is Yours, also starring Carson, and one at the end of the 1972 Barbra Streisand hit What's Up, Doc?, though the latter was stock footage rather than newly created.

Animation historians have noted the similarities between the animated dream sequence in this film and the Looney Tunes cartoon Swooner Crooner (1944). The latter, directed by Friz Freleng's colleague Frank Tashlin, concerned Porky Pig trying to reacquire the female chickens of his farm from a Frank Sinatra-esque rooster, who is driving the chicks away from the farm.

The same year Two Guys from Texas was released, animation director Art Davis parodied the film's title with a Merrie Melodies cartoon called Two Gophers from Texas, starring Mac & Tosh, better known as the Goofy Gophers. The title was spoofed yet again for Freleng's 1956 cartoon Two Crows from Tacos.
