Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
aefrench I just recently saw this Bugs Bunny cartoon, and it was one I actually had not seen before. This was part of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD, and it is one of my favorite cartoons in the collection so far.Bugs is the conductor for a concert, and while trying to lead the orchestra, he deals with a plethora of distractions. There are some excellent sight gags throughout the cartoon's duration. For example, Bugs's ears are used to conduct the orchestra, among other things. What's more, there are no voice characterizations in this cartoon. Bugs is completely silent, so there are no one-liners from him. However, the sight gags provide a lot of laughs. This is a good cartoon. Catch it.
Mightyzebra I vaguely read the IMDb reviews for this cartoon before I watched it and there seemed to be quite a few negative comments, so I was not sure what I would think of it. However, I love it and it is one of my new favourites. The humour is nice and slow, very well done and you can still see quite a lot of Bugs Bunny's personality even though he does not say a single word, neither does anyone else. Usually I do not like the fact that certain Looney Tunes cartoons do not have enough speaking jokes, but in this episode it would have not been so good if there had been some. It is just funny the whole way through and the music is good. :-) The only negative thing I have to say about this gem is that the animation of Bugs was a bit scratchy, I prefer his smoother, more rounded style. Saying that - his collar was hilarious! :-) I recommend this episode to people who like classical music, Bugs Bunny and for people who do not mind flies too much. Enjoy "Baton Bunny"! :-)
ultramatt2000-1 Before I start this review, I'd like to say that I saw this when I was 2 on WKBHK TV-44 San Francisco. It came after SESAME STREET (read my SPRINKLE ME PINK comment). I found it funny not only to see Bugs Bunny as a conductor but also seeing him clown around. Usually Bugs gets chased around, or runs into trouble, but here trouble comes to him in a for a a small fly. The ending is a funny gag, I cannot spoil any information for you. You have to see it (perhaps on YouTube) to believe it.I highly recommend it! That and the DUCK RABBIT DUCK cartoons where it is Bugs vs. Daffy vs. Elmer Fudd.
Michael_Elliott Baton Bunny (1959) ** (out of 4) This here has always been one of my least favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons but you can't expect anyone to bat a thousand. This time out Bugs is the guest conductor of the Warner Brothers Symphony Orchestra where he will be doing "Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna by Franz Von Suppe". There's not a single line of dialogue spoken in the film, which really wouldn't have been a problem had the action been better than it is. In all reality this is just a short for the ears as most of the visual gags are rather tiresome and none of them get any laughs. The bit with the fly doesn't work and this here seems to be the biggest attempt at humor. The music itself isn't too bad but in the end this is an interesting idea that just doesn't work.
