Cecil Turtle is an anthropomorphic turtle and character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical shorts. He made is debut in the Tex Avery short Tortoise Beats Hare, in which he served as a rival to Bugs Bunny. Although he only appeared in three theatrical shorts, he has the distinction of being one of the few characters that could outwit Bugs, and the only one to do so three times in a row. His voice was originated by Mel Blanc.

Behind the scenes

In popular culture

  • In The King of Queens episode "Parent Trapped," Doug is making him and Carrie late by watching the end of a cartoon involving Bugs and Cecil, even though Doug has seen it a hundred times before, and comments, "Hey, the tortoise beat Bugs Bunny. Who'd a thunk it?" But Doug responded it was about the journey, not who wins.
  • In the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt episode "Kimmy Meets an Old Friend!," Kimmy wants Titus to wear her backpack, but he doesn't want to because it makes him feel like a turtle who has to challenge a rabbit for a race.
