    A fun, entertaining, hilarious movie of Loony Tunes. I loved it as a kid, and I'm sure kids today will love it too.

    Somewhat unbalanced collection of Looney Tunes shorts, presented in three acts.

    Act I (my favorite) has Yosemite Sam trying to outwit Bugs in various clips from classic cartoons: Sahara Hare, Roman Legion Hare, Wild and Wooly Hare, etc. There's some new footage of Sam in Hell ... read moredealing with the Devil; I don't know why they didn't just use the same animation from "Devil's Feud Cake"?

    Act II had Bugs against gangsters Bugsy and Mugsy.

    Act III had Bugs as host of an Oscar-esque Awards presentation, giving awards to different Looney Tunes characters, with accompanying clips of their performances.

    Alright, I suppose. Not the best of what Looney Tunes has to offer. A bit of a curiousity; I don't remember this being at theatres...

    There's a reason why Looney Tunes, Merry Melodies and Silly Symphonies cartoons are shorts: they lose their luster when strung back to back to back in feature length format as they are here. On their own, each mini-story can be entertaining and hold it own; together, they're ove... read morerlong and begin to be unfunny. Not much more to say. If these shorts can hold your interest, so be it. But there's not a ton new under this sun.

    Just like the other looney tunes movies, this movie combines the classic cartoons into a semi-linear story. For the most part it works, but some of the times it's kinda annoying. But these movies remain enjoyable for kids and adults alike.

    "Friz Ferleng's Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie" is one of the best movies to waste approximately 90 minutes of your time. It features the amazing voice talent of the late Mel Blanc as a good chunk of the cast.

    The movie is actually a bunch of classic "Looney Tunes" s... read morehorts threaded together with three different plots for three different acts.

    Before the start of the feature presentation, we are treated with the Acadamy Award-winning "Knighty Knight, Bugs" which features "Bugs Bunny" (voiced by Mel Blanc) as the court jester of the Knights of the Round Table, who is picked to face the devious "Black Knight", played by "Yosemite Sam" (voiced by Blanc) and his dragon.

    Then we are treated with a small look at the early years of Hollywood in a segment with "Bugs" doing a voice-over, which at one point is hard to hear when his voice-over is placed over a clip from a "Speedy Gonzales" (voiced by Blanc) short. In "Act 1" we see three different "Looney Tunes" shorts featuring "Sam" chasing "Bugs" woven together with segments featuring "Sam" going to Hell, and getting three chances (the three shorts) to send "Bugs" to Hell in his place.

    In "Act 2," which is titled "The Unmentionables," the three shorts are woven together with a parody of "The Untouchables," with "Bugs" as "Elegant Mess" chasing the dim witted mobsters "Rocky" (voiced by Blanc) and "Mugsy" (voiced by Blanc). One of the shorts features "Sylvester" (voiced by Blanc) and "Tweety Pie" (voiced by Blanc).

    In the final Act, titled "The Oswald Awards," we see three more classic "Looney Tunes" woven together by a parody of an Oscars ceremony that ends with a battle between "Bugs" and one of his biggest rivals, "Daffy Duck" (voiced by Blanc).

    The classic animation still holds up quite nicely after 27 years after the release of this movie. The characters move quite nicely, and the mouths move in synch with the voices, unlike the popular Anime that dominates cartoons today. There is comedic violence in this film, but no blood or deaths. And the humor is filled with great puns, jokes and sight gags that will make all ages laugh.

    Blanc, who dominates the cast of zany characters, is simply wonderful. And thanks to movies like this, his talent will live on entertaining new audiences for years to come.

    "Looney Tunes" fans will smile when all their favorite characters come on the screen screen, even if they are in a non-speaking cameo. Kids, and kids-at-heart, will also laugh at the same jokes over and over.

    With Blanc's voice talents, and the fantastic comedy throughout the film, this would be a great addition to your collection.
