Transylvania 6-5000 is a 1963 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Chuck Jones.[1] The short was released on November 30, 1963, and stars Bugs Bunny.[2]
It is a comedy film, depicting a confrontation between Bugs and a vampire in Transylvania.
Plot
Bugs Bunny burrows to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but ends up in Transylvania near the castle of Count Bloodcount. He asks directions from the ominous two-headed vulture Agatha and Emily to no avail and tries his luck at the eerie castle.
Although Bugs asks for a phone, the Count insists that he sleep first and escorts him to a bedroom. Unable to sleep, he reads a book on magic words. The Count prepares to strike from behind, but Bugs' recitation from the book turns the vampire into a bat and dunks him in the castle moat. After finishing the book, Bugs strolls through the castle with the Count stalking him, and a battle of magic words ensues. Bugs' increasingly creative spells turn the Count into another two-headed vulture, and he calls Agatha and Emily over. Smitten with the transformed Count, they chase him into the moonlit night.
Having disposed of the vampire, Bugs locates a telephone and tries to reach his travel agency. While waiting for the connection he sings a magic word that turns his ears into bat wings. Bugs hangs up the phone and proceeds to fly home.
Voice cast
- Mel Blanc as Bugs Bunny
- Ben Frommer as Count Bloodcount

Production notes
Transylvania 6-5000 marked Chuck Jones' departure from Warner Bros. Cartoons to found Sib Tower 12 Productions at MGM, making it his last original Warner Bros. cartoon before the move. Released in 1963, it is also the second-to-last Warner cartoon of that year and Jones' tenure with the studio. The title, "Transylvania 6-5000," is a play on the song "Pennsylvania 6-5000," associated with Glenn Miller, referencing the old telephone exchange system where letters represented numbers in phone numbers.
