GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Tad Pole . . . each North Carolina public school to offer 31 separate bathrooms to accommodate all of his Sex-of-the-Month Clubbers, he opened up the Can of Worms with which Bugs Bunny fiddles during MY BUNNY LIES OVER THE SEA. This story takes place in that mixed up portion of Britain which nixed Brexit. Bugs calls the Scotchguards on the carpet for skirting their congenital conditions. Adding insult to injury, these bearded belles insist upon wailing into windbags likely to be harboring lethal doses of malign microbes. On top of that, they're prone to fritter away all their time puttering around a playing field set up as a Rapist's Paradise, with 18 undefended holes ripe for attacking. Whereas baseball has nine guys available to catch balls, with hockey and soccer employing goalies to swat orbs away, as football and basketball rely on the entire team to do the same thing, the Scotch are shooting fish in a bucket, using up to a dozen specialty sticks to accomplish what Bryce Harper does with one, or LeBron James manages to do with his bare hands (that is, score). Nevertheless, Bugs Bunny's Scot antagonist thinks he's a Big Man here every time he's able to cram his dimpled egg into a poor, defenseless opening.
Tweekums This Bugs Bunny short opened promisingly when he finds himself in Scotland instead of Los Angeles following a wrong turn in Albequerque (where else?). He spots a kilt wearing Scotsman playing the bagpipes and assumes it was actually a woman being attacked by some strange creature, Bugs promptly attacks the pipes and destroys them and is shocked to find that the old lady is in fact a man. Not surprisingly the man takes offence at Bug's actions and challenges him to a game of golf... this is where things go wrong. The game takes up too much of the cartoon and while it had some funny parts others just seemed silly, even for a cartoon.
tavm Having once again realized he "should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque", Bugs winds up in Scotland where he already finds trouble when he mistakes a Scotsman in his kilts playing a bagpipe for an old lady being attacked by a monster and "kills" the instrument. From there, insults fly fast as the kilt-wearing man whose voice partially resembles Yosemite Sam challenges the rabbit to a game of golf. As with Sam, Bugs changes one word that makes his opponent accept one of his plays as a "hole-in-one" despite fifty-five tries! None of the stuff Bugs does would be acceptable in the golf rule book but they're pretty hilarious nonetheless! That last gag is a topper! Another funny outing from Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese.
Lee Eisenberg Maybe "My Bunny Lies Over the Sea" stereotypes the Scots as kilt-clad, bagpipe-playing grouches, but it is a hilarious cartoon. After Bugs Bunny forgets that left turn at Albuquerque, he ends up on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland, where he and a local settle a dispute by playing golf. Needless to say, Bugs turns the whole thing on its head.Among other things, this cartoon makes one nostalgic for the days - which may have been well over 100 years ago - when golf represented Scottish heritage and wasn't just something that rich snobs did to waste time (especially given that Jack Abramoff took Tom DeLay and Bob Ney on the golfing trip in Scotland a few years ago). But mostly, it's a classic cartoon plain and simple. Or, to say it like they would in Scotland: Ay, 'tis a wonderful wee cartoon, ya blasted Englishman! I wonder if that was the Wallace plaid during the opening credits. As a descendant of William Wallace (Scotland's greatest patriot and the subject of "Braveheart"), I hope that it was.
