TheLittleSongbird While not the best of the Looney Tunes canon, Gorilla My Dreams is still a very entertaining cartoon I think. I agree the ending is rather abrupt and lame, and I cannot say I was a fan of the female gorilla, she doesn't do that much that is interesting.However, the animation is solid and colourful, I especially loved how the jungle was animated. The music is lovely and has a lot of energy, Bugs's song at the beginning as he is sitting eating a carrot and reading a book in the boat is very amusing, especially for the lyrics. The dialogue is witty and funny, Bugs of course gets the best lines and does a lot with them, while the sight gags are good. Bugs of course is great fun, while the male gorilla was a decent foil, gruff he was but I think he was meant to be. Mel Blanc does a wonderful job yet again with the voices.Overall, an entertaining cartoon while not the best. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Michael_Elliott Gorilla My Dreams (1948) *** (out of 4) A mama gorilla is ashamed of being the only one not to have a baby but when a shipwrecked Bugs Bunny shows up she decides to take him as her own. This doesn't sit too well with her cranky husband who wants to get rid of Bugs. This is a good entry in the series, although it's certainly not one of the best. The biggest problem I had with the movie is that it ends rather abruptly and the ending, while trying to be clever, doesn't really pull off the punch it was going for. There are still some nice moments between the mama and Bugs and the action between Bugs and the dad is fast and violent.

anxietyresister Bugs is adrift at sea in a barrel, reading a book and singing a song as though he hasn't got a care in the world. Unfortunately, he doesn't realise he's near an island in the ocean populated by ferocious gorillas, and when one of the childless female apes sees him floating by, she takes an instant shine to him being her baby.. despite the fact he has long ears and fluffy tale. How will her hubby cope with the news that he has a rabbit as a heir (ho ho)? You'll have to watch to find out.This short has almost exactly the same plot as another BB cartoon (the name escapes me for now) but the execution is far weaker. Aside from a couple of pratfalls involving a coconut tree and a shovel there are hardly any jokes here at all, just a few aimless chases and a several uninspiring background gags (Like Tarzan crossing at the traffic lights). The question: If you're going to rework earlier material, why bother if you're just going to strip out the good stuff and replace it with dead air? I don't have a clue. But what I am sure of is, when this appears on my Looney Tunes DVD in the future.. my finger will be firmly be rested on the SKIP button. 4/10

bob the moo Bugs Bunny is adrift in a barrel, content to be sailing and reading until being rescued. He drifts onto an island where a childless gorilla with a time bomb of a biological clock finds him and takes him in as her child. Bugs plays along to placate her but finds that her husband is less keen on this new arrival.The short here opens well with some nice wit, Bugs reading and relaxing in his barrel, the apes reading such classics as `apes of wrath' however the actual plot is a little off and sees Bugs just aping it up with his mother. After this we have a chase between \the father and Bugs which, while amusing, isn't the funniest thing you'll see.Bugs is as good as he always is and he holds the short up well. The mother ape isn't great and the father is just too gruff and ignorant to be a good foil for Bugs – he reminded me of Taz and we all know how poor the Bugs/Taz cartoons were at times.Overall, not a great short but has enough going for it to be worth watching.
