Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

bugssponge Wow, what a wonderful cartoon. Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny have always been a good pairing and make cartoons hilarious. Friz Freleng really took it home this time with the academy award. Friz actually won four Academy Awards. The funniest part for me was when Yosemite Sam told the dragon not to sneeze and he did and the some castle turned into a rocket and lifted off.

utgard14 This is the only Bugs Bunny cartoon to win an Academy Award. This may seem strange to a lot of people because there were so many better Bugs shorts that weren't even nominated for Oscars, let alone won. But we have to keep in mind this was only up against the rest of the animated shorts from 1958 and the competition that year might have been pretty slim pickings. As a matter of fact there were only three nominees that year instead of the usual four so it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. I've seen all three nominees and I can say, for my money, this is the best of the three. I can't readily think of another 1958 cartoon but I do know that the quality of animation across the board was declining by the late '50s. There would still be some great stuff to come but the best days of WB, MGM, and even Disney shorts were behind them by this point.Oscar talk aside, this is a very good Bugs Bunny cartoon. It takes place in the time of King Arthur, here represented as a silly old man. Arthur asks for a volunteer among his knights to retrieve the Singing Sword from the evil Black Knight (Yosemite Sam) and his fire-breathing dragon. All of the knights are chicken so King Arthur orders court jester Bugs to retrieve the sword. If he refuses, he'll be tortured and beheaded! Bugs goes to the Black Knight's castle to complete his task and Sam obviously tries to stop him. Now, reading back over what I just wrote, this sure doesn't sound like a funny cartoon, does it? It actually has a lot of clever bits and great gags. The idea of Arthur and his knights being cowardly is pretty funny, I thought. But the short's strength lies in the Bugs vs Sam stuff. If you've ever seen a Bugs/Sam cartoon before (and I'm sure you have), then you know how much fun these two going toe-to-toe can be. It's very funny with good animation, lively music, and solid voicework from the always reliable Mel Blanc. The scenes of Black Knight Sam trying to get back into the castle are hilarious. Funny stuff with the dragon, too ("Dragons is so stupid!").

Jackson Booth-Millard It is quite surprising that only five of the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies films won Academy Awards, and even more surprising that only one starred Bugs Bunny. Most people would hope and assume that What's Opera, Doc? would have been nominated for and won an Oscar, but it doesn't matter, this medieval themed cartoon is a good choice. The story sees King Arthur saying that one of the knights of the round table should recover the Singing Sword, stolen by the Black Knight, but they have turned chicken. The fool/jester, Bugs, comes in laughing saying only a fool would go, and the King says he will go, under penalty of death. So we see the Black Knight, Yosemite Sam, in his castle sleeping with his dumb fire-breathing dragon, that can't help sneezing and breathing. Bugs manages to get the Singing Sword easily, but then he has to escape, and when the knight and dragon chase him, he runs back into the castle and shuts the gates. The Black Knight tries a catapult and rope to get into the kingdom, until Bugs sneaks out across a long plank of wood. They spot him and chase him into a tower of explosives, where Bugs shuts them in, the dragon sneezes fire, blowing them up to the moon, and the film ends with Bugs walking away with the sword singing. It won the Oscar for Best Short Animated Film. Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies were number 20, and Bugs Bunny number 10 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Very good!

phantom_tollbooth Friz Freleng's 'Knighty Knight Bugs' is an Oscar winning cartoon which, though a tad overrated, is solidly entertaining throughout. Jester Bugs Bunny is sent to recover the Singing Sword from Black Knight Yosemite Sam. The set up and ensuing antics immediately bring to mind two other cartoons, Chuck Jones's 'Knight-mare Hare' and Freleng's own 'Sahara Hare'. While Jones's cartoon shares the same medieval setting, 'Sahara Hare' features a similar storyline as Sam pursues Bugs and finds himself attempting to gain entry to a building in which Bugs has barricaded himself. 'Knighty Knight Bugs' is an improvement on both its forerunners, offering a far more charming depiction of medieval times than in Jones's feeble effort and improving on the gags in 'Sahara Hare' with some consistently amusing if hardly uproarious sequences. Also reminiscent of 'Sahara Hare' is Sam's relationship with his beast of burden, a camel in the former cartoon and a dragon in this case. In both cartoons, this relationship is one of the best elements and results in some very funny lines and animations. All in all, 'Knighty Knight Bugs' is an enjoyably pedestrian cartoon in which being able to see the gags coming doesn't hinder the viewer's enjoyment of their good timing. Surely not worthy of its Oscar but certainly worthy of being viewed by any cartoon fan.
