Bugs Bunny at the Low Point of his Career
15 December 2003
This movie is just another example of a loveless attempt to cash in on a successful trademark. It is simply a crude collage of recycled gags from the old looney tunes cartoons and maybe hundreds of other movies without a spark of originality (e.g., the light swords of Star Wars are quoted for the hundredth time, who can call this "intellectual"?). Even technically, the movie is weak. Mediocre actors are overcharged with imagining the later inserted animated characters (just look at Jenna Elfman holding Duffy Duck in the first scene). It is by far more rewarding to watch the old "Looney Tunes" cartoons (Tex Avery, Chuck Jones's Wile E. Coyote, ...), or "Who framed Roger Rabbit" (so far, the masterpiece in the mixture of life action and animation), or some episodes of "The Simpsons" (to see how one can cleverly quote other movies - not just for hiding one's lack of imagination). Well, the fact that the theater was empty at a Sunday afternoon during the first week of the movie's screening and that even the kids stopped laughing after a few minutes is the only hope that this kind of movie will not be repeated too many times.
