Another personal favorite modern
Looney Tunes cartoon of mine would be the
1995 theatrical short,
"Carrotblanca". A
parody and
homage of the classic film, which is pretty good by the way.
The cartoon is
directed by
Douglas McCarthy with
Art Direction by
Alan Bodner &
Stephen Lewis.
Backgrounds are by
Patricia Keppler &
Tim Maloney with
Layouts by
Bryan Evans,
Ed Hayney &
Dave Kuhn.
Prop Design by
Frederick J. Gardner III and
Color Supervision by
Bunny Munns.
According to Wikipedia: "It was produced by the
Animaniacs writing team at
Warner Bros. Feature Animation (it is possible this film served as a test for animating the characters for
Space Jam).
Carrotblanca was the only Looney Tunes short produced by that group of writers and the Feature Animation division."

I remember seeing quite a bit of merchandise going along with the short (ie:
t-shirts, posters, Lays Potato-Chips...), but I never heard anything about it after it was supposedly released until it resurfaced on VHS in
1996.
You can add this animated short to your collection by hunting down a copy of the
long-out-of-print VHS tape or you can pick up a copy of
Casablanca: Two-Disc Special Edition DVD from
Warner Home Video...
