Yankee Doodle Daffy

“♪I’m a cowboy, yes sir I am!♪”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love music! And this short is full of it. I don’t really understand the title though. That song is nowhere in it, and it has nothing to do with patriotism. Still its wonderful and almost the whole cartoon is singing. Like if they remade every Looney Tune into a full length animated feature, this one would be a musical. So whats is all about? Singing. That’s all I’m going to say. Its basically Daffy just singing to Porky. (It works!)

Triple feature: Blooper Bunny, My Dream is Yours, Two Guys from Texas

“Gosh, I’m so unimportant.”

Everyone loves triple features right? The first one was for Bugs’ fifty first and a half birthday so its kinda after the time of the classic shorts. The other two both came out in 1949. Bugs made cameos in these movies. As for “Blooper Bunny” it’s possibly one of the funniest thing I ever saw. Sorry to leave you with so little info, but I really want you to experience it for yourself.

The Rabbit of Seville

“Next.”

Now if there’s one thing I love, it’s Looney Tunes set to classical music. Here we have the “Barber of Seville” and unlike other cartoons, where the antics are just set to the music, this one has Bugs and Elmer actually performing along.

If you watch and pay close attention, you will find that in one scene, Bugs has 4 fingers and a thumb. This is because he is drumming out the music on Fudd’s head. As a final note, this cartoon shows us that Elmer may have been bothered about his baldness.

Long-Haired Hare

“Leopold!”

Bugs is just minding his own business out in the forest while singing some great songs. Unfortunately they annoy the opera singer Giovanni Jones. Mr. Jones destroys all of Bug’s instruments and as Bugs reminds us “You realize this means war.” One of the first Bugs Bunny shorts I saw when I was young. I still think of it as one of my favorites. There’s one scene where Jones opens his mouth to sing and all we hear is Bug’s tuba. It gets me every time. Bugs also pulls another one of his feminine disguises and he looks really good. I would fall for it! The creme de la creme of the picture is when Bugs disguises himself as Leopold Stokowsky, and makes Jones hold a note for over 2 minutes. Every time i watch this i feel for him, and it feels like I can’t breath either. If you call yourself a fan of Bugs and you have not seen this one, you are an embarrassment to Looney Tunes kind!
