I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

" . . . stow the mizzen mast! Jibe the jib boom! Hoist the main sail! Lower the tatter sail! Look sharp, man! Pipe the starboard hatch on the leeward thwarts! Trim the scuppers on the port poop deck! (What a maroon!)" Bugs Bunny says these last three words to the camera, in the bloated guise of the Bounty's infamous Captain Bligh, as Yosemite Sam, a.k.a., Sea-Going' Sam, a.k.a., The Pirate Redbeard, a.k.a. Fletcher Christian, runs around like a French Queen with her head cut off, in this dramatization of the last minutes of Sam's ship, La Marie Douce. When Sam finally realizes that Bugs-as-Bligh's string of nautical gibberish has no purpose (other than to give him the run-around), Sam calls out the BUCCANEER BUNNY, cursing, "Blast your scuppers, you barnacle-bitten Landlubber!" Though most animation aficionados agree that "Popeye" is the best series of sea-going cartoons in film history, BUCCANEER BUNNY holds its own in the ranks of humorous salty tales (being much funnier than Warner's earlier Porky Pig outing, KRISTOPHER KOLUMBUS, JR., for instance). "Jibe the jib boom!" indeed!

Terrific Bugs Bunny cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng, with Yosemite Sam as the cutest pirate you're likely to ever see. While burying his treasure on the beach, Sam disturbs Bugs in his rabbit hole. What follows is Bugs and Sam fighting it out on the high seas in hilarious fashion. It's a wonderful short with the legendary Mel Blanc having a blast doing the voices of Bugs and Sam. He even gets to do a Charles Laughton impersonation. The animation is beautiful with rich colors and well-drawn characters and backgrounds. The music is energetic and fun. It's a classic, plain and simple. Anybody who enjoys Bugs and Yosemite Sam will get a kick out of this one.

This is a Bugs Bunny short directed by Friz Freleng. There will be spoilers ahead:This short is an incredibly funny and well crafted cartoon. If I were to sum it up in a sentence, that sentence might well be, "HOO-WHEE, that blowed up real good!", because of all the explosions. Yosemite Sam (aka, "Redbeard") is the perfect foil in this one.Sam is a pirate burying a treasure chest and he happens to try to bury it over Bugs. Sam should have stayed in bed. There's a solid bit with a series of four doors and a running gag involving cannons which ultimately takes the wind out of Sam's sails.Here's a tip-gunpowder and matches make for an interesting combination. Sam tries to call Bugs's bluff, but he's not bluffing. The looks on Sam's face as Bugs tosses one lit match after another into the hold are priceless.This short is available on a number of DVDs and at least one Blu Ray (it looks very good on the Blu Ray). The short is well worth watching. Recommended.

Hilarious cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, the best Looney Tunes director next to Chuck Jones. This short is somewhat inspired by the Three Stooges and the gimmicks work great. It's funny to see Sam getting blown up the cannon every three seconds.
