Reviews
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
eusebius123 The people complaining about Elmer Fudd hunting for food clearly haven't watched many Bugs Bunny cartoons. "Wabbit stew" was always what Elmer was after when he went hunting — it was one of his catchphrases well before this cartoon was made (example: "Hare Tonic" from 1945, directed by Chuck Jones). It's part of what makes that line so funny in this cartoon! Jones didn't ret-con Elmer into being a vegetarian until "Rabbit Fire" in 1951, so it's hard to understand how McKimson should have been able to foresee that four years earlier. And the mention of Elmer as a vegetarian was just for the sake of a gag anyway, not to establish a running character trait — after all, in 1953, Jones was back to having Elmer hunt for "wabbit stew" in "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!".As for Bugs being mean-spirited, the same comment applies — Bugs was always somewhat of an amoral character in the 1940s cartoons, even going so far as to be an outright jerk sometimes (particularly in his earliest appearances, such as "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" and the Cecil the Turtle shorts). Jones didn't make him into a goody-two-shoes type character until later in the 1950s.And of course it's not like the WB cartoons ever cared much about canon or continuity anyway. Next thing you know, someone will be complaining about inconsistency in "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century" because Daffy Duck usually isn't a space marine.
Mightyzebra Interesting story: I had seen the very end of this short WAY before I saw the actual short. It is a very shocking ending (and I am not giving too much of a spoiler here) and I was very scared by it. When I saw the whole episode on YouTube, it calmed me down a bit to know what happened before the end, but I still didn't like the episode very much.The only things I really liked about this episode were the animation and Bugs Bunny - most of the time. Oh yes - Elmer Fudd was quite good as well and some of the quotes are worth remembering. What I did not like about this episode was the violence and the fact that there was only one really funny joke. I recommend this to people who like very fast, rather mean Looney Tunes episodes. I hope you enjoy this more than I did - and if you did not, welcome to the crowd.
slymusic Directed by the capable Robert McKimson, "Easter Yeggs" is the definitive Easter rabbit cartoon made at Warner Bros. The Easter rabbit in this case is quite shallow, always finding a sucker to deliver his Easter eggs for him every year. The sucker he found THIS time is - who else? - Bugs Bunny! As Bugs takes over the Easter rabbit's job, he skips merrily down the road and sings, "I am getting looney tooney, dashed in the head. This whole thing is gooney, I should've stood in bed!" The following are my favorite highlights from "Easter Yeggs." Without any doubt, the most hilarious scene in this cartoon is that of Bugs trying to show Elmer Fudd a magic trick by covering Elmer's watch with a handkerchief and then quickly smashing the watch with a hammer. Earlier, Bugs meets the brattiest of brats ("I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg!" and "He bwoke my wittle arm! He bwoke my wittle arm!"), who terrorizes Bugs with all his might, starting with splatting an Easter egg in Bugs' face. After Bugs' painful episode with the kid, he does some more skipping down the road, but his happy singing voice is now angry and sneering! And when Elmer chases Bugs into the Tunnel of Love, they both emerge in a clinch."Easter Yeggs" is a super cartoon, and Bugs finally decides at the end that enough is enough, that the REAL Easter rabbit must pay the penalty for his lack of character.
Stephen Holloway Bugs has to fill in for an brown easter rabbit who don't want to deliver the eggs and talks Bugs into deliver them. In his first stop he pays an spoiled brat an visit and he gets the best of Bugs. Although Bugs wants to quit, he tries once more. His next stop was at Elmer's house who wants an Easter Rabbit Stew to eat. He tries to trap Bugs by drowning him but it failed. Instead, Bugs has an raft and goes into an log that was oddly enough the Tunnel Of Love. After they leave the log, Bugs tries out an couple of tricks but, they failed. After an brief chase, that includes the brat, Bugs paints Elmer's head to look like an easter egg and the brat attack Elmer. With one egg left, the lazy rabbit carries it unknowing is was an bomb that Bugs had made. How did Bugs made an bomb, I don't know but it works and Bugs laughs as the film fades.Overall, the cartoon was good .I recommend it as an McKimson classic as well as an Bugs Bunny classic as well. It's not perfect but it's still an classic. Final Score: an 9 out of 10
