"Polaroid brings the ferocious Tasmanian Devil to life with the new
special edition Taz Instant Camera designed to resemble the beloved
Warner Bros. Looney Tunes' cartoon character. The Taz Camera is
styled to look like Taz's famous profile. Dare to pull open his jaw to
reveal his teeth (and the camera's lens!) and tell your friends to be
ready to bare their own and smile, as you snap away. Taz even has
his own specially designed Looney Tunes Instant Film with
pre-exposed images of Taz, Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny and Sylvester
on the borders. Customize your "looney" images as you write,
scribble and doodle on the smudge-proof, matte photo surface with
markers, crayons and colored pencils." (Polaroid Products web page:

.
"The Taz Camera uses regular Polaroid 600 Film, but he really
shines when you load him up with Polaroid Looney Tunes 600
Film. Pictures taken with Looney Tunes film come out with a
cool, colorful border featuring Taz's closest cartoon friends."
