I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Anyhow, what I liked about this Bugs Bunny cartoon were the following things: the witch (who also appears in "Broomstick Bunny"), Bugs Bunny, the fairytale theme and quite a few of the jokes. The animation is also worth noting, it is done in a quite "comfortable" style and it fits the fairytale theme in the episode.In this Looney Tunes short, Bugs Bunny is walking in a forest, reading aloud the tale of Hansel and Gretel (who have very noticeable German accents). By pure coincidence, he spots a little cottage and a witch outside it welcoming a little boy and girl, who she invites in. Bugs Bunny realizes that the fairytale he is reading is beginning to come true and he is ready to rescue...I do not understand why the makers of this cartoon added an anti-feminist joke at the end. It was very annoying. The rest of the cartoon was good - a little too farcey - but good. I recommend this amusing episode to people who like fairy tales, to people who like Witch Hazel (if the people have watched "Broomstick Bunny") and to people who just love Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes in general. Enjoy "Bewitched Bunny"! :-)

Directed by the great Charles M. (Chuck) Jones, "Bewitched Bunny" is a brilliant Bugs Bunny cartoon that cleverly parodies the famous fairy tale of Hansel & Gretel. Let's face it: Walt Disney played his fairy tale cartoons straight, so the Warner Bros. fairy tale cartoons HAD to have a humorous slant to them! Here are, in my opinion, the funnier moments from "Bewitched Bunny" (DON'T read any further until after you've seen this cartoon). Hansel & Gretel are two pudgy little kids who only care about eating sweets; the way they excitedly speak to each other in their mock German accents, loudly declaring that their sweets are "gut" and "yummy", is quite hilarious, as is their belief later on that the witch's mother rides a vacuum cleaner. AND when Bugs - and later, Prince Charming - says to himself, "Hansel? Hansel?? HAN-sel?!", it's really funny, and I don't know why! "Bewitched Bunny" is a lovable cartoon, from the facial expressions of Bugs & Witch Hazel, to the vocal performances of Mel Blanc & Bea Benaderet, to the musical accompaniment of Carl Stalling. Catch this amusing fairy tale on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 Disc 2.

I always like it when someone accompanies voice genius Mel Blanc in one of these Looney Tunes cartoons. It gives us a little more variation of the characters since Mel's voice - even with different characters - is pretty easy to spot. Here, Bea Benaderet of "Petticoat Junction" TV fame, adds to the fun with several voices of her own in this offbeat tale of "Hansel And Gretel."The story involves Bugs rescuing some kids from the mean old "Witch Hazel," who plans to eat them for dinner.....but then later decides a nice rabbit might be a better meal!There are some clever, dark comedy humor in this cartoon, such as the witch reading a book of recipes for eating children ("waif waffles," "urchin pie," "smorgas boy," etc.)If you have the opportunity, check out this cartoon on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 because the restoration on it makes this a real visual feast. The colors in here are spectacular!

This is one of the all-time classic Bugs Bunny Cartons. It is so funny, I find myself rolling on the floor with laughter every time that it is on. Witch Hazel is a scream. Look for it the next time Lonney Tunes are on.
