StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

John T. Ryan HAVING ONLY TWO characters on screen for the entire 6 or so minutes would likely seem to be problematic to most animators and their production teams. This was not so for I. "Fritz" Freleng in this mini masterpiece of the Art of the Theatrical Cartoon Short. All they needed in this Warner Brothers' LOONEY TUNES release was Bugs Bunny and their then new "Hot Property" of a comic foil, YOSEMITE SAM.IN THIS PICTURE, Sam is cast as a Pirate. Instead of a Western Cowboy-type Desperado, 'Yosemite' Sam, he is dubbed 'Seagoing' Sam. This is truly a minor point. as the character's quick temper, loud voice and manic discharge of energy ate all well served in his going to sea.ALTHOUGH ITS LENGTH and running time are about 6 1/2 minutes, it manages to cram in a good deal of gags which are representative of many categories. Multi cannon discharges (with Sam always being on the receiving end), a sequence of Sam's attempting to launch himself to the Crow's Nest seems borrowed fro the ROAD RUNNER & COYOTE Series and even a reference to MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY & Charles Laughton's characterization of CAPTAIN BLIGH abound.AS WITH MOST entrants in the LOONEY TUNES & MERRIE MELODIES series, there are plenty of nyuks inside. Just remember to suggest offering to share the titles with others; be they toddlers, teen-agers or grumpy old guys like m'self!

Robert Reynolds This is a Bugs Bunny short directed by Friz Freleng. There will be spoilers ahead:This short is an incredibly funny and well crafted cartoon. If I were to sum it up in a sentence, that sentence might well be, "HOO-WHEE, that blowed up real good!", because of all the explosions. Yosemite Sam (aka, "Redbeard") is the perfect foil in this one.Sam is a pirate burying a treasure chest and he happens to try to bury it over Bugs. Sam should have stayed in bed. There's a solid bit with a series of four doors and a running gag involving cannons which ultimately takes the wind out of Sam's sails.Here's a tip-gunpowder and matches make for an interesting combination. Sam tries to call Bugs's bluff, but he's not bluffing. The looks on Sam's face as Bugs tosses one lit match after another into the hold are priceless.This short is available on a number of DVDs and at least one Blu Ray (it looks very good on the Blu Ray). The short is well worth watching. Recommended.

slymusic "Buccaneer Bunny" is one of the funniest Bugs Bunny/Yosemite Sam cartoons under the helm of my favorite animation director Friz Freleng. Yosemite Sam is a pirate ("Seagoin' Sam") who secretly intends to bury a large chest full of jewels, but with that long-eared galoot Bugs Bunny hanging around, Sam can be certain that his treasures will no longer be a secret.Highlights from this wonderful cartoon include the following (DON'T read any further until after you have actually seen this film). After Bugs blasts him a few times with cannons, Sam chases Bugs up and down a flight of stairs (aided by Carl Stalling's music, of course), only to get creamed by one more cannon shot. Sam's rowboat has no oars, so he swims towards his gigantic ship, grabs a pair of oars, and swims back towards his rowboat! Bugs is very funny with his big-lipped Captain Bligh disguise. And Sam adds a little rumba beat to his opening song."Buccaneer Bunny" is a cartoon that is so good, I was wondering how long it would take for it to show up in a Looney Tunes Golden Collection; you can now find it on Volume 5 Disc 1. When watching this cartoon, it is a REQUIREMENT that you laugh out loud!

bob the moo Bugs is resting on a tropical island when fearsome pirate Redbeard comes along to bury his treasure. Realising that Bugs now knows where he has hidden the treasure, Redbeard decides to kill bugs to keep it a secret leading to a chase on board his own ship.Despite placing traditional cowboy Sam in the role of a pirate without actually changing his accent or dress, this cartoon works out quite enjoyable. My initial worries about the character worked out and Sam actually fitted into the role pretty well. The plot is basically a big chase with Bugs doing his usual smart-alecky stuff and outsmarting his foil.Bugs is as good as always and I enjoyed his antics, Sam is better than I thought he would be, the only downside being the pirate dialogue they occasionally put in his mouth. The two work well together and the material is funny.Overall this is an enjoyable short that contains plenty of nice jokes (including a spoof of Charles Laughton) and funny action with imagination.
