Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . made available on "Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 3, Disc 1" voiced by one of the "40 girls" painting Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1942 plus one of the West Coasters always around to blab on DVD audio tracks states that Looney Tunes were always topical to their times, with many arcane references to Popular Culture hopelessly lost upon all Future Generations. Fortunately for us, this built-in obsolescence was off-set by uncanny, Nostradamus-like prognostications for the Future. THE WABBIT WHO CAME TO SUPPER, for instance, has many allusions to the current events of 2016. If you fast-forward to the 5:33 mark, for instance, you will see an unclothed Donald J. Duck (covered only by the red picnic tablecloth in his lap, and decked out in a gray beard to emphasize that this geriatric geezer is well past "middle" age) pointing at a completely nude red-headed White House Intern, as he orders another pizza for their Tete-A-Tete in the Rose Garden. Then, about 7:21 into WABBIT, Bugs Bunny is startled by Elmer Trump, as the hare is bare except for an orange brassiere and matching panties (with a convenience crotch for "his" bushy tail). In the next scene, scads of baby bunnies are delivered to Elmer's White House, suggesting that Trump may usurp George Washington's place as "The Father of Our Country."
phantom_tollbooth When Elmer Fudd's Uncle Louie bequeaths him 3 million dollars on the condition that he doesn't hurt any living creatures, Bugs Bunny exploit's the situation by moving into his house and taking over his life. Friz Freleng's 'The Wabbit Who Came to Supper' is a fun take on a classic, much used storyline which was probably best realised in the Tom and Jerry classic 'The Million Dollar Cat'. Freleng's take on the tale is also very fine, overcoming the odd pacing problems with some very funny moments. My favourite bit is Bugs's petty duping of Elmer out of a nickel. Also notable is the famous premature New Year routine and the early take on the "Don't go down there, it's dark" gag (perfected in 'Hair Raising Hare'). This is a very early Bugs Bunny cartoon and you can occasionally tell by the odd look of the characters. Aside from the obese version of Elmer (an early experiment that was quickly abandoned), Bugs occasionally looks extremely weird, never more so than in the scene when he examines his teeth in a mirror. Nevertheless, it's a joy to watch Bugs and Elmer alternately turn the tables on each other resulting in a great climactic chase. The closing gag is a little weak but by that time 'The Wabbit Who Came to Supper' has done more than enough to endear itself to the viewer. While it falls short of classic, 'The Wabbit Who Came to Supper' never fails to entertain with its fast paced, well-timed antics.
movieman_kev Elmer Fudd stands to inherit 3 million bucks from his Uncle, if he can just withstand harming Bugs Bunny. He unfortunately reads this tidbit of information while he's hunting the rabbit, meaning Bugs overhears him and will take every advantage of this new wrinkle in the scenario that he can. Which lets him get away with a good deal much more, until a new telegram arrives... Such a great cartoon starring the fatter Elmer, he slimmed down considerably later in his career, and a still unrefined Bugs (looks wise, not attitude wise). Great gags make this one of the better ones of the early years. This animated short can be found on Disk 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 and includes an optional commentary by Jerry Beck and cell painter Martha Sigall.My Grade: A+
Petri Pelkonen Elmer Fudd is once again trying to hunt Bugs Bunny after he hears he's going to inherit three million dollars from uncle Louie if he doesn't harm animals, especially rabbits.And that is a hard thing to do after Bugs Bunny comes to his house.The Wabbit Who Came to Supper from 1942 offers many funny moments, even though it lasts only eight minutes.Mel Blanc is the voice of this animated bunny character and Elmer's voice is Arthur Q. Bryan.Bugs Bunny is one of the greatest comedians ever.He may be a cartoon character but he has comedic talents at least as much Jerry Lewis or Jim Carrey.Watch the goofing of Bugs Bunny in this classic and enjoy.That's all, folks!
