Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

utgard14 It's Bugs versus the Tasmanian Devil again in this fun short directed by Robert McKimson. This is Taz's second appearance, three years after his first. After an opening with Bugs (inside a crate of carrots) being dropped via parachute into Tasmania, we pretty much get a rehash of part of the first Bugs/Taz cartoon, Devil May Hare. There's an animal stampede, followed by Bugs reading up on Taz and discovering he eats rabbits, and then the meeting of the two and subsequent back & forth. As with the last cartoon, the premise is very simple but funny. Wonderful voice work from Mel Blanc. The animation is nice and colorful. Taz is far from one of my favorite characters but Bugs provides most of the laughs. Worth a look for most Looney Tunes fans.

Edgar Allan Pooh " . . . toss a mean salad," Bugs Bunny says to the Tazmanian Devil in this Merrie Melodies Short, BEDEVILLED RABBIT. Claude, the devil in question, is a whirlwind of sexual confusion. He's so messed up, he prefers a cross-dressing interspecies partner (Bugs) to his actual spouse, Rosebud. Who could have a problem with that? Those sensitive to racial ridicule, for one group. When Bugs dresses up in his "Marsha" she-devil mode here, he caricatures the Facial Stylings of some African indigenous peoples with a clueless insensitivity. Perhaps just as bad, the devil-known-as-Claude seems to have an avocation of being the Destroyer of Trees. Does Claude use his forest carnage to at least build dams, like those industrious beavers? No, he just girdles trunks through and through, leaving his victim trees as deadly booby traps, liable to Smish unwary passers-by with no warning whatsoever. Finally, Bugs' home-made firework explodes inside Claude, causing no apparent damage. No one would be so careless in Real Life, despite Bugs' bad example, you might think. But at least TWO NFL players lost fingers this month in similar fashion. Just how many "Merrie Melodies" did they see as kids?

Lee Eisenberg In case people have forgotten the Tasmanian Devil, "Bedevilled Rabbit" reminds us of him. When Bugs Bunny gets parachuted into Tasmania (where's that?), Taz quickly gets hungry and sets his sights on Bugs. Sure enough, Bugs is way ahead of Taz, and always can pull anything seemingly out of thin air to play all sorts of tricks. If these cartoons were nothing more than excuses to pull all sorts of crazy gags, then they played it to great effect. It's great to watch them go all out time and again. Truly classic. There will never be any cartoons like these again.Oh, and in case you don't actually know: Tasmania is the island south of Australia.

Robert Reynolds This is the second encounter between Bugs Bunny and an obviously over-matched Taz. Bugs winds up in Tasmania and almost immediately becomes the object of Taz's gustatory interest (Taz wants Bugs to come for dinner, but only as the main item on the menu) and, understandably, our intrepid hero is reluctant to oblige. Taz has some good lines here, but he is clearly out of his weight class against Bugs. Bugs nails him in the end with a decidedly low blow, but when you're in danger of being remembered with fondness as a belch, you don't fight fair. Recommended.
