Reviews
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
TheLittleSongbird Looney Tunes were part of my childhood and still hold a special place in my heart. Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid may not be quite classic status but it is a truly great cartoon indeed. The pacing is not as crisp and somewhat manic as it is in many other Looney Tunes cartoons, but again this is a matter of preference and there is so much to love about Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid anyway. The animation is colourful and fluid, with both characters well-drawn, while the music- especially in the big-band dance sequence- is cleverly orchestrated and enhances the humour so well. The humour here is more verbal than it is physical, but that is not a hindrance in any way, as the dialogue is fresh and witty and the gags are equally inspired. In terms of standout scenes, I did love the animal bone and "take a shower" gags but the highlight was definitely the big-band dance sequence, magnificently choreographed and perhaps among Bugs' best overall scenes out of all his cartoons. Bugs is on fine form, doing what he does best, while Beaky Buzzard while stupid is cute and funny rather than overly-dumb and annoying. These two work really well together. I have nothing to criticise in regard to Mel Blanc's vocals either. All in all, a great cartoon but not quite a classic. 9/10 Bethany Cox
slymusic "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid" is a superb Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by the wild & unpredictable Bob Clampett. This time around, Bugs is pitted against the dopiest of birds, a bashful buzzard who later became known as Beaky. Under Mr. Clampett's direction, Bugs is ever the prankster!My absolute favorite scene in this picture is that of Bugs and Beaky physically struggling with each other and then suddenly going into a dance, in which composer Carl Stalling wrote a wonderfully swinging big band score. I also like the jazzy walking bass line and muted brass as Beaky crawls on top of the clouds. In addition, Bugs is funny with his feminine makeup and coy voice when Beaky catches him in the shower.I've enjoyed "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid" ever since I had first seen it during my high school days (early 1990s), and I'm very glad to see this cartoon released on DVD (the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 Disc 3).
Shawn Watson This is surely the weakest Bugs Bunny cartoon I've ever seen. Beaky Buzzard simply is not funny and has no appeal at all. As a matter of fact he's down-right annoying. He's not a character I wish to see again in further Looney Tunes cartoons.This short has him preying after Bugs because Mama Buzzard wants him to go out and catch his first dinner. Bugs obviously doesn't take so well to this and doesn't make it easy for the bird. But where is the usual Bugs Bunny intelligence, outsmarting, battle of wits? Not here I tell ya.Beaky Buzzard is not a formidable opponent for our fave rabbit and this cartoon is completely DOA. Avoid it.
Rusty-34 The inept Beaky Buzzard in this was quite funny, and they brought him back on several different occasions.However, there's one scene that I do not get and I find disturbing, and that is the animal bone gag. What the heck was going on there? We see Bugs Bunny falling over the remains of a buffalo and the remains are in front of him and there was a carrot in the rib cage, he feels the rib cage and the carrot inside. Bugs then cries over it and goes "Gruesome, ins't it?" Did he think he was dead? I have no idea what it was supposed to be.I'd say if you are Bugs fans, stick with stuff like "Rabbit Fire," and the hunting trilogy as well as others.
