Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is an 8-minute cartoon from 65 years ago. It was made by Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese and Mel Blanc as most of the other famous Looney Toons from back in the day. This one here deals with Robin Hood and even has 2 short sequences of live action from the Errol Flynn movie. Quite uncommon really for the Warner Bros cartoons. Bugs gets in trouble when he is caught red-handed trying to steal one of the King's carrots. The alarm application attached to it was pretty funny actually. And so were some of the scenes in which Bugs goes against the dim-witted Sheriff of Nottingham. Really one of the easiest opponents of all time for the favorite cartoon rabbit and he really is not a match for him at any time. Solid short film which put a smile on my lips and not only recommended to Bugs Bunny fans, but also to people who love the Robin Hood character or movies. Good stuff here. Check it out.

Mightyzebra I very much enjoyed this Bugs Bunny cartoon for the following reasons: 1. The way they played on the Robin Hood + Little John + Sheriff of Nottingham stories. 2. Bugs Bunny's character and how he reacts to the cartoon's situations, here he is a very intelligent bunny. 3. The humour, it is often very witty and quite unexpected. When it is slapsticky and predictable, though, it is still pretty well pulled off. 4. The background animation, very lovely colours and animation style. 5. The cameo appearance of a famous actor at the end, obviously taken from a film.If there was anything that I felt was imperfect about the cartoon, it was the fact that it was slightly slapsticky at points (there is one dragged out slapstick bit near the end which the makers could have cut a little).In this cartoon, Bugs Bunny has unknowingly arrived at the castle grounds of the King in Robin Hood's time and has picked a carrot from the King's Carrot Patch. Unfortunately, the King has a strict policy for whoever steals his carrots and it seems to be the rack for Bugs Bunny if he does not manage to escape...I recommend this cartoon to anyone who likes Bugs Bunny and to anyone who likes a good enough mixture of slapstick and witty humour in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Enjoy, "Rabbit Hood"! :-) 8 and a half out of ten.P.S Did anyone else notice that the tune for the opening credits was the same one they used for "Duck Amuck" in about 4 years time?

Robert Reynolds This is a very funny short and very dialog-centered, with visual gags relatively scarce. The verbal gags are beautiful, for the most part. Because I want to discuss some details, this is a spoiler warning: We see all kinds of signs in the beginning that strongly prohibit poaching anything (including eggs) on the King's property and then we see Bugs try and pick a carrot from the Royal Garden, only to trigger an alarm attached to the carrot itself. He's then caught, "crimson-fisted" by the Sheriff of Nottingham and manages to fool him and get away when we come up on the running gag-a gargantuan Little John showing up to declaim, "Don't you worry, never fear-Robin Hood will soon be here!", only no sight of Robin Hood is to be seen.The sheriff catches up to Bugs, only to be given a high-pressure sales pitch which has him buying a piece of royal ground (rather than lose it to "a couple from Kansas City". The sheriff starts building a house, until it dawns on him what he's doing. His slow burn is probably the best visual bit in the short.Bugs drops into Little John's arms for an installment of the running gag and escapes the sheriff by introducing the two men to one another over and over again and then sneaking off. It's a funny bit.The best gag in the short, hands down, is Bugs tricking the sheriff into thinking that Bugs is the King. Bugs announces that the sheriff is to be knighted for his service to the crown. With each "title" granted the sheriff, Bugs belts him on the head with an imposing scepter which progressively becomes more and more dented with each blow. The "titles" include Baron of Munchausen, Essence of Myrrh, Milk of Magnesia and Quarter of Ten. Bugs then observes of the sheriff that he's "Got lots of stamina!" and at the end, the sheriff thanks his "Majesty". While the sheriff is singing "London Bridge", Bugs elaborately (and rapidly) bakes and frosts a cake-so that the sheriff has something to fall face-first into when he finally collapses.Once again, we see the running gag, to which Bugs launches an inspired rant, about "helping the needy and the oppressed" and "skipping through Sherwood Forest", when Robin Hood finally shows in a beautiful close which I won't spoil here.This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 and is well worth watching. Recommended.

rjeffb Great wiseacre comedy, like every Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny. One of the few that incorporated live-action cameos. Pay close attention when the Sheriff of Nottingham comes to an immense clearing and spies (to a rapid drumbeat) something red in the distance. He strains and squints to make it out, but all we can see is a red line moving slowly across the meadow straight for him. As it approaches it picks up speed and we can see it is a red carpet rapidly unrolling itself. It finishes unrolling directly at the Sheriff's feet, revealing Bugs dressed as the king of England...and no matter how many times you have seen it, Bugs' expression of serene tranquility and the Sheriff's reaction of utter astonishment and discombobulation will have you on the floor! "I knight you," King Bugs proclaims, "Sir Loin of Beef..."
