Reviews
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Micitype Pretty Good
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . as the Looney Tunes folks vainly try to warn America against one of their own former starlets, who used his Democratic Term as President of the Screen Actors Union for a stepping stone into the White House. (As BUNNY HUGGED opens, Bugs is employed by wrestling pretender "Ravishing Ronald," an unmistakable allusion to the POTUS occupying our Seat of Government between Jimmy Carter and Poppa Bush.) Yes, America, the rise of a turncoat Dem with NO qualifications other than popularizing a demeaning two-word catch-phrase on a third-rate TV show is NOT "unprecedented," as so many uneducated media pundits have claimed this month. Before Trump shilled his steaks in the middle of a victory speech, "Ravishing Ronald" Reagan was pushing Borax Soap during breaks on TV's WAGON TRAIN show. (As with THE APPRENTICE, some poor Schlub was fired--literally--at the end of most WAGON TRAIN episodes.) As Arnold Schwarzenegger proved, you don't need to be an authentic American to be Gubernator of California (or even be able to pronounce this state's name). This fact makes Trump equally as unqualified as Ravishing Ronald to eat jelly beans in the oval office. Hopefully, Mrs. Trump's astrologers will be equally adept as Nancy Reagan's in Ruling America. Otherwise, we're in for a bumpy ride.
slymusic Directed by Chuck Jones, "Bunny Hugged" places Bugs Bunny in the boxing ring against the mean, muscular Crusher. Actually, Bugs starts out merely as a mascot for the wimpy Ravishing Ronald, but when Crusher easily overpowers him, Bugs is forced to take his place.Here are my favorite sequences from "Bunny Hugged". Ravishing Ronald trots toward Crusher to a humorously frolicsome musical accompaniment; when Crusher stuffs Ronald's body inside his own hairnet and uses him as a punching bag, Ronald extends a few signs from the net that read "HELP!", "FOUL!", and "S.O.S.!" Bugs tricks Crusher into believing he split his shorts, so Bugs masquerades as a tailor and stabs Crusher's ass with a needle. Bugs struggles in giving Crusher a headlock; Crusher goes into a "Shuffle Off to Buffalo" dance and "bowls" Bugs right into a canvas pole, with an appropriate sound effect."Bunny Hugged" is a funny cartoon! Catch it on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 Disc 1.
ccthemovieman-1 We are in a packed arena waiting for the World's Heavyweight Wrestling Championship to take place between the champ, "The Crusher," a snarling, growling beast of man with rippling muscles on his muscles, and "Ravishing Ronald," the denatured boy (whatever that means.). Ronald comes out in the best Roman tradition: on a platter, eating grapes. He has a mascot named "Bugs," who tells us, "Hey, it's a living."In no time The Crusher literally makes a punching bag out of Ravishing Ronald. Bugs, "Yikes, there goes me bread and butter. I've got to do something."What happens afterward, as Bugs becomes "The Masked Terror," is mostly funny. The stitching scene was kind of stupid but the rest of it was typical outlandish Bugs humor.
movieman_kev Bugs Bunny has to go Mano-a-rabbito as "the Masked Terror" for a wrestling bout with the Crusher after he easily pummels his former opponent and Bug's source of income, Ravashing Ronald. The rascally rabbit is also outmatched physically, so he has to pull some cunninggly clever yet somewhat devious tricks from his sleeves. I liked this cartoon a lot and it makes me chuckle every single time I see it. This animated short can be seen on Disc 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2. It also features an optional music and effects only track.My Grade: A
