Edgar Allan Pooh . . . America realizes that changing one's sex (for Transgendered Folks), sexual orientation (for Bisexual Folks), or sexual special preferences (for Bestial Folks) needs to be as easy, simple, and judgment-free as changing your socks. That chief instigator of American Social Change, Warner Bros. Studio, realized all of this at least as early as the 1930s, and labored tirelessly to lobby both overtly and on a more subliminal level toward sometimes prodding but mostly dragging an often kicking-and-screaming nation down the path toward the vast smörgåsbord of sexual options that we enjoy today, particularly with its Looney Tunes animated shorts division. BUGS' BONNETS delivers this message in spades, as it closes with groom Bugs Bunny carrying his virginal white wedding-dressed bride Elmer Fudd toward some distant threshold. As the candy ad for Almond Joy and Mounds Bars states, "Sometimes you want to have nuts, sometimes you don't." BUGS' BONNETS also illustrates Warner's firm belief, depicted in many of its feature films, as well, that crook or cop, friend or foe, hero or heel is all a matter of perspective. Every American alternates between each of these roles, depending only upon which hat they're wearing at a given moment.
TheLittleSongbird I have loved Looney Tunes all my life, and this cartoon is no exception. First of all, I loved the concept it was original and would work effectively if done right. And it was done right, with hilarious results. The visual gags are wonderful, and the dialogue is incredibly funny. The animation is excellent, with lovely backgrounds, convincing character features and beautiful colours, and the music is dramatic and lively. Bugs is on top form, I love Bugs and he is simply great here, and all the supporting characters are well written and well incorporated into the story. The pacing is fast and furious, and the voice work from Mel Blanc as is always the case is exceptional. Overall, it was a great idea and the results are hilarious! 10/10 Bethany Cox
Akbar Shahzad (rapt0r_claw-1) This cartoon is fantastic, to say the least. It had me laughing constantly through its seven minutes of pure entertainment. The animation is brilliant, and the expressions are unbelievable. Shame that it's really very obscure. The ending and Bugs's transformation into a gangster are stupendous, and an interesting plot only makes it better. Surprising that it was written by Tedd Pierce and not Michael Maltese, who seems to have written all of Jones's best cartoons. Fantastic stuff! Very highly recommended.
Robert Reynolds This is one of the funniest Bugs shorts they ever did. Oddly enough, for an intensely visual cartoon, the funniest bits are mostly verbal in nature. This has some incredibly funny dialogue, particularly Bugs echoing a portion of Elmer's opening harangue calling on Bugs to show himself. Bugs's take on the line and his whole reaction is priceless! Wonderful cartoon! Well worth watching. Most highly recommended!
