Reviews
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Michael_Elliott Bugs Bunny Superstar (1975) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Orson Welles narrates this documentary that's hosted by Robert Clampett as he tells the story of Bugs Bunny as well as some of the other famous characters including Daffy, Porky, Sylvester and Tweety. This documentary clocks in at 90 minutes and features several shorts in their entirety. These include MY FAVORITE DUCK, HAIR RAISING HARE, THE OLD GREY HARE, RHAPSODY RABBIT, WALKY TALKY HAWKY, THE WILD HARE, THE CORNY CONCERTO, I TAW A PUTTY TAT and WHAT'S COOKIN' DOC? These shorts are of different quality but there's certainly not a bad one in the bunch.The real highlight is the actual documentary because Clampett serves as a terrific host and we're given all sorts of promotional materials as well as several behind-the-scenes stories including some video footage of the original crew messing around on the set of Warner. There's some great stories about various Hollywood legends who would show up at the studio wondering how the animation was done. We get a nice bit of education on not only the studio and the characters but also how exactly these shorts were made. Fans of Bugs Bunny will certainly enjoy watching the shorts and hearing the stories.
tfrizzell A documentary feature-styled production that tells the story of Bugs Bunny, the world's most-beloved cartoon character. The entire group of Warner Bros. cartoons are the focus here as original animators, consultants and technical advisers are all interviewed and archive footage is displayed. Golden-voiced Orson Welles narrates and live-action film splits time with original cartoon shorts. Easily the best compilation from the Warner Bros. and their animation department. An interesting and absorbing history to a part of the cinema that many take for granted. 4 stars out of 5.
gridoon This compilation features priceless archival footage from the WB animation artists' working and living conditions, and nine entertaining, timeless cartoon shorts. Although it eventually wears you out a little (I think those cartoons look better if taken in smaller doses), it is a much better choice for family viewing than many, many other films that claim to serve the same purpose. Long live Bugs! (***)
Nolan Price I am 34 years old and I watched this movie for the first time today with my two boys. It has been a long time since I have laughed this hard at a show. The boys thought I was just as funny because I would tell them about my childhood days while we watched. Family entertainment and quality time together...you cannot beat it!
