Details

Bugs Bunny once again making that "wrong turn at Albuquerque" burrows into a bullring, where a magnificent bull is making short work of a toreador. The bull bucks Bugs out of the arena, prompting the bunny to declare "Of course you realize, this means war!" The deft Bugs' arsenal comes plenty packed, as he uses anvils, well-placed face slaps and the bull's horns as a slingshot. The bull fights back, using his horns as a shotgun barrel. The bull's comeback is short-lived; just after Bugs makes out his will, he lures the bull out of the arena, just in time to set up a rube-like device that leads to the bull's defeat.

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
tavm This is another cartoon in which Bugs should have taken a "left turn at Albuquerque" and ends up at a place not of his choosing, in this case a bullfighting ring. After Bugs insults the bull, the bull butts the rabbit sky high as Bugs declares, "Of course you realize, this means war!" Boy, does it ever! Watch Bugs one-up the stubborn animal at every turn. Love the slaps the rabbit gives him to the beats of some Mexican music. Like Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam, this animal will not give up no matter how much Bugs manages to defeat him at every turn. Once again, kudos to Chuck Jones and Micheal Maltese for making another hilarious classic cartoon. And special thanks to their boss Eddie Selzer for telling them "bullfights aren't funny"!
movieman_kev A brilliant Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny short that finds Bugs accidentily becoming a bull fighter and having to fight El Toro after he takes a wrong turn at the same place he always does. This is a hilarious Loony Tunes short and Even though this is El Toro's one & only appearence, He is still a fondly remembered character in the Looney Tunes stable. And rightly so.This cartoon is uncut on Disk 1 of the 'Loony Tunes Golden Collection' and also has a commentary track . On a side note as a kid, I enjoyed playing the one level of a Loony Tunes videogame for the PS2 that was based on this short as it was fun.My Grade: A+
skad13 Famed cartoon director Chuck Jones has said that this cartoon came about because his then-producer, Edward Selzer, caught him doodling a drawing of a bull one day and told Jones that he was *not* to make cartoon about bullfighting. Of such defiant acts are great cartoons made. This is one of the all-time great Looney Tunes, with great camera angles (note the ant's-eye view of a confident Bugs as the bull gains ground on him), hilarious give-and-take between Bugs and his adversary, and a gut-busting ending (beautifully scored by Carl Stalling). For years, CBS was stupid enough to broadcast this cartoon with its fantastic climax cruelly edited. You can now find the whole thing intact in Jones' The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie and on the Jones compilation videocassette From Hare to Eternity, as well as in intermittent broadcasts on Cartoon Network
Murray Chapman This is one of my all-time favourite Bugs Bunny cartoons -- it contains everything that sets the classic Warners animation stuff apart from the stuff that's mass produced today. I especially love the way that the fortunes of Bugs and the bull waver back and forth; I also love the synchronization with the "La Cucaracha" music (see also "Rabbit of Seville (1950)") and the elaborate contraption that Bugs builds.If you're trying to show someone a classic WB cartoon, this is a great one to start with.
