Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . but nowadays it pretty near takes a metropolis to produce an animated short (or brief cartoon) running less than 10 minutes. While an average of 10 guys were credited for each Golden Age Looney Tune (at least, those that Warner Bros. released between 1930 and 1960), BLOOPER BUNNY's end credits list 57 people (a conglomeration that's only gotten longer since BLOOPER's release in 1991). BLOOPER's roster is surely truncated from what it could have been, as the chefs and craft service people serving what would have otherwise been a very hungry cast and crew are missing in action from BLOOPER's roll call. Likewise, unless they labored in conditions of total squalor, their janitorial assistants are absolutely unsung here. Nor is anything said about child care (though many present-day films with 100% adult casts credit multiple "studio teachers" for educating cast and\or crew kids). One would think that the top dozen BLOOPER honchos would deem themselves important enough to merit personal or production assistants, drivers, and security people, though not a name of this is breathed in the credits. It's likely that Bugs Bunny has been a meal ticket for thousands over his career.
TheLittleSongbird I love Looney Tunes, and I love all four characters featured here, so this seemed like a winner. And it was. Not only are Bugs, Daffy, Elmer and Yosemite Sam all great, but when it comes to the voice work Jeff Bergman manages to be both dynamic and stick to the characters' characteristics very well. The animation is absolutely great, very lively and colourful, and the music has a lot of energy and doesn't get annoying no matter how many times we hear the main theme. The outtakes are hugely funny, not just in the fresh writing but also in the sight gags. While I loved the business with the cane, the Eh What's Up Doc to uproarious laughter and Daffy stepping on a floorboard and it hits him, it was the outtake where Elmer's gun goes off and it's real ammunition narrowly missing Bugs and hitting Daffy that really amused me. All in all, a hugely funny cartoon. 10/10 Bethany Cox
tavm This short begins with Bugs and his "friends", Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and Yosemite Sam coming on stage, dancing, and wishing the wabbit a "Happy 51st and a 1/2 anniversary" cheerfully. Then, with intentionally scratched film, we see the behind the scenes footage with those same three characters as we usually know them: Daffy acting hostile toward Bugs, Elmer trying to really kill the wabbit, and Sam really roaring into the varmint. Then there are the "bloopers" that mostly involve the Duck with various "accidents" like the loose board that hits him. That was the funniest scene for me. Quite a throwback to the Bugs/Daffy/Elmer hunting shorts made by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese. Too bad the folks at Time Warner thought this was too "edgy" to be shown in theaters but it's good to know that the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD has permanently made this available in their extra features section. Kudos to Greg Ford, Terry Lennon, and new voice actor Jeff Bergman for continuing the Looney Tunes tradition.
Chung Mo After giving the go ahead for this film, Warner Bros. squelched it. Apparently in reaction to Daffy's comment that "Warner Bros. doesn't have single creative bone in it's body". This "short" was never shown theatrically. Only after Cartoon Network found it languishing in the library was it finally given the exposure it deserves.
