What makes it different from others?

Excellent but underrated film
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

"Baby Buggy Bunny" is as you certainly guessed correctly already from the title another Warner Bros. cartoon. This one's from 1954, so over 60 years old already. It runs for seven minutes and on board are Jones, Maltese and Blanc, so everything as usual you could say. But the plot twists and action in here are a bit more than usual when it comes to these cartoons for sure. Also Bugs getting his ass handed to him is not something, you will see too often really, even if it is only the case in the first half. Other than in here, the character of baby lookalike bank robber Finster (actually the German word for gloomy that may describe the man's character nicely) was not used anymore I think, but for a character stupid enough to shave while Bunny could see him more films would also have been fairly undeserving. And of course, he kinda looks a lot like a second Elmer Fudd too. Still this one here is far from forgotten and among the more known Warner Bros cartoons from the Golden Age of Animation. I personally felt it was a solid little watch and despite moments of greatness and really funny scenes missing, I give it a thumbs-up. Go check it out.

. . . by a Pandemic of Political Correctness, Classic Looney Tunes such as BABY BUGGY BUNNY always serve to illuminate a Path to RE-ENLIGHTENED Times. Back in Grandpa's Day, there was a song about "Short People," such as Bugs Bunny's antagonist here, bank robber Ant Hill Harry (a.k.a., Baby Face Finster), 35. "Short people got no reason--short people got no reason--to live," I believe that lyric goes. (It's amazing what you can hear on a tiny turntable from a .45 vinyl record collection gathering dust in the attic these past few decades.) From THE WIZARD OF OZ to THE GAME OF THRONES, normal people usually find themselves drawing the short straw in any contest with the vertically-challenged. Warner exposed nearly all of Today's Sacred Cows for the threats that they actually represent to the Common Man during the Looney Tunes Golden Days. At last count, 14,263 adjectives used to describe people by Shakespeare, Twain, and Steinbeck have been Black-Listed by the Thought Police. American Schools used to teach Great Thoughts. Today that's been shortened to Grey Thoughts, as in the drab gray stale society of the baby-killers in the recent release, THE GIVER.

To the pantheon of gangster flicks we can add Chuck Jones's "Baby Buggy Bunny". It portrays a bank robber named Ant Hill Harry, whose diminutive stature enables him to masquerade as an infant. And when he drops his loot into Bugs Bunny's home, the baby charade goes into full gear.I get the feeling that this cartoon was basically a place holder in between the really famous ones. In my view, Ant Hill Harry - who also calls himself Baby-Face Finster - wasn't as much of a bad-ass as the little guy baby-sat by Porky Pig in "Brother Brat". But for a connection to a more famous movie, I thought that the rolling stroller resembled a scene in Sergei Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin". Of course, I'm sure that Chuck Jones didn't intend for it to look like that; he probably intended the cartoon as entertainment. It certainly entertained me. Worth seeing.Ninety-nine years. We'll have to see how things turn out in 2107.

Ilove this cartoon, but the last time I saw it on BOOMERANG, the part where Baby Faced Finster pulls out a gun at Bugs was edited out. It says that Finster is going to shoot Bugs with his toy gun. BLAM! And Bugs, after Finster shoots him with his "toy gun," says, "Some toy!" I wonder why this was edited out, just like Daffy Duck's final act in 1957's "Show Biz Bunny?" Or where Bugs and Yosemite Sam put the gun to their heads when both of them lose the mayoral race in another cartoon, and Yosemite Sam comments, "I HATE that rabbit!" My sister claims that these scenes were too violent for kids. And I was told that these cartoons were not really made for kids, and yet I've seen them on kiddie shows in the 1960's and 1970's. I guess that BOOMERANG and Warner Brothers claim that kids will imitate these things. But I never did, and here I am, at 46, and I still enjoy watching them, and I never did these things when I was a little kid.
