Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Konterr Brilliant and touching

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . during World War Two. Military experts estimate that at least seven million more Americans would have died during that conflict, as the Nazis overran the U.S. from Florida into Texas (figuring that's where more of their Fifth Columnist sympathizers were holed up), had not Russian peasants wielding muskets and pitchforks chopped up the cream of Hitler's troops (at the cost of roughly 20 million Russian lives). So when Ma Vulture orders her four ablest offspring to come back to their nest with "a horse, a steer, a cow, and a moose," savvy American audiences of this time knew she was REALLY saying, "Bag a German tank, a Nazi locomotive, a Hitler half-track, and an Iron Cross-sporting Field Marshal." Since most American corporate types backed and abetted Hitler as long as they could get away with doing so in the run-up to Pearl Harbor (Henry Ford and Prescott Bush being just the two best known examples of many), they hired John Wayne to vilify America's Russian saviors even before Hitler shot himself. But when Ma Russia--that is, Ma Vulture here--calls Bugs Bunny "My hero" toward the end of BUGS BUNNY GETS THE BOID, rest assured that the sentiment was mutual--and widespread. And, if you had ancestors living in America 70 years ago, there's a 24% chance YOU would not be here today were it not for Mother Russia!

tavm This is a Bob Clameptt Bugs Bunny cartoon that gives us the Bugs look as we now know him as done by animator Robert McKimson. Pretty cute, huh? Anyway, a buzzard with a voice that sounds like Mortimer Snerd is trying to capture him for his mama. As always, Bugs outsmarts him at every turn but there is one gag in which Bugs thinks he's dying (though even here he cracks, "Grusome, isn't it?"). There's also a wonderfully choreographed big-band dance that is one of the most entertaining animation I've ever seen in these Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons. Plenty of hilarious Clampett touches abound like the trombone sound Bugs makes when he fingers the buzzard's Adam's apple or the "bee-op" sound you hear in many of these cartoons. That was made by Bob himself. Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid is highly recommended.

Shawn Watson This is surely the weakest Bugs Bunny cartoon I've ever seen. Beaky Buzzard simply is not funny and has no appeal at all. As a matter of fact he's down-right annoying. He's not a character I wish to see again in further Looney Tunes cartoons.This short has him preying after Bugs because Mama Buzzard wants him to go out and catch his first dinner. Bugs obviously doesn't take so well to this and doesn't make it easy for the bird. But where is the usual Bugs Bunny intelligence, outsmarting, battle of wits? Not here I tell ya.Beaky Buzzard is not a formidable opponent for our fave rabbit and this cartoon is completely DOA. Avoid it.

Rusty-34 The inept Beaky Buzzard in this was quite funny, and they brought him back on several different occasions.However, there's one scene that I do not get and I find disturbing, and that is the animal bone gag. What the heck was going on there? We see Bugs Bunny falling over the remains of a buffalo and the remains are in front of him and there was a carrot in the rib cage, he feels the rib cage and the carrot inside. Bugs then cries over it and goes "Gruesome, ins't it?" Did he think he was dead? I have no idea what it was supposed to be.I'd say if you are Bugs fans, stick with stuff like "Rabbit Fire," and the hunting trilogy as well as others.
