 BURBANK,
CA (March 9, 2009) – Cartoon lovers would be crazy not to get their
hands on a copy of the upcoming feature-length release, Looney Tunes
Movie Collection: Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, which
will be released by Warner Home Video (WHV) April 28, 2009. This
rollicking and rambunctious collection features a compilation of classic
Looney Tunes shorts produced by legendary animator, Friz Freleng.
The ear-repressible Bugs Bunny takes top billing
in this rip-roaring feature-length romp through some of the wackiest
cartoon classics. Titled, Looney Tunes Movie Collection: Looney,
Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, this film is cleverly comprised of
three parts. Each portion features a collection of legendary cartoon
shorts that are bridged with new material. The result is a seamless work
of animated art that takes viewers on a mad cap adventure a la Looney
Tunes style!
Part one has Yosemite Sam strike a deal with the
devil! Sam winds up in hell, after he’s crushed by a safe dropped by
Bugs Bunny. Satan however agrees to give Sam another chance so long as
he brings someone else to take his place. Sam sets his sights on none
other than his nemesis, that “wascally wabbit” and sets out for his
capture.
Part two finds Bugs Bunny as a police detective
who goes after a group of gangsters. The mobsters, Rocky and Mugsy, who
in spite of being captured numerous times, always manage to free
themselves due to some loophole in the law. Rocky and Mugsy capture
Daffy Duck after they learn he’s capable of laying golden eggs and go so
far as kidnapping Tweety Bird for ransom.
Part three, the finale, showcases a vicious and
entertaining satire of the Oscars. Bugs Bunny turns Hollywood’s
glitziest awards ceremony into a cartoon-star-studded disaster zone
called The Oswald Awards. Bugs hosts the ceremony in which the nominees
are the wolf from Three Little Bops, Sylvester and Tweety and
himself. Daffy Duck however, gripes about not being nominated. When
Bugs wins the award, Daffy is furious and challenges Bugs to a talent
showdown.

Okay, you know from many of my other reviews that I am a sucker for the
classic animated cartoons and Bugs Bunny is perhaps one of my all-time
top three favorites. Growing up as a kid there "Box
already decades of episodes already ready for viewing. This
"movie" is kind of a compilation of a number of classic episodes
inserted into this DVD as "acts." As is the standard format, there
are three acts that include a number shorts from old episodes blended
into the main plot of the movie.
