Horst in Translation ([email protected]) This is another cartoon from the 1950s directed by Chuck Jones, written by Michael Maltese and starring Mel Blanc as voice actor. Bugs took the wrong turn and ends up in a heated bull arena battle between a heavy cow and a scared fighter. Two minutes into the movie, the fighter is out of the picture and Bugs takes his place after the bull declared war on him. The two are having quite a battle here and the bull even seems on par occasionally with the smart rabbit, something the likes of Daffy and Elmer can only dream of. Then again, they do not have the bull's muscles. Now if only, he would be as fast with his brain as he is with his legs. I thought this was a fun watch, definitely among the best Looney Toons from the 1950s. The two going all in on their opponent is well-done and with a few exceptions (the explosions, sadly also the very last scene), these 7 minutes are absolutely worth the watch.

bob the moo Bugs is on his way to a carrot convention, but a wrong turn along the way means that he accidentally turns up in Spain, popping up in the middle of a bull fight. When he gets charged out of the building, bugs declares war on the bull and returns to get revenge.Yet again, Bugs takes a wrong turn at the same place and this time ends up getting his tail steamed up by a bull. When he smacks the bull off him it just kicks things off and the fun begins. The trickery Bugs uses here is very much of a more physical nature than when he uses word play and characters to trick his way around the bull. While I prefer a mix of humour, all the physical stuff is still very funny.The bull is a pretty good support character for Bugs as he tries to give as good as he gets. He may just be a big bull but that is what is needed where most of the humour is physical. Bugs may not get to play other roles but he is still good with his physical work here - he is on good form and he makes the material funnier.Overall, not Bugs best as it is just not as clever as some of his wittier stuff; but for out and out physical comedy this is a good example of Bugs at work.

Raymond Tucker I could watch this one a hundred times over and still laugh myself to tears. It is incredibly funny, perfectly timed and just when you expect it to become formulaic, the Jones crew start to throw in some comical curveballs (which I refuse to spoil here) My personal favorite Bugs Bunny short and one of the jewels of the WB catalog.

Murray Chapman This is one of my all-time favourite Bugs Bunny cartoons -- it contains everything that sets the classic Warners animation stuff apart from the stuff that's mass produced today. I especially love the way that the fortunes of Bugs and the bull waver back and forth; I also love the synchronization with the "La Cucaracha" music (see also "Rabbit of Seville (1950)") and the elaborate contraption that Bugs builds.If you're trying to show someone a classic WB cartoon, this is a great one to start with.
