Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Wordiezett So much average

Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

JohnHowardReid "Bugs Bunny", "Elmer Fudd", and caricatures of Leopold Stokowski, Gregory Peck, Ray Milland, Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, Carmen Miranda, Lauren Bacall.Copyright 20 December 1946 by the Vitaphone Corp. Merrie Melodies (Bugs Bunny Special) Warner Bros. Cartoons, Inc. U.S. release: 1 November 1947 (sic). 1 reel. 7 minutes.COMMENT: Prices have climbed a bit since we visited Ciro's for Hollywood Steps Out. Dinner at the Macrumbo is $600, but small down payments are accepted. Although Steve Schneider likes this one, selecting it as both a Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd "best", I would not give it such a high rating. The spot gags (Milland paying for his drink with a typewriter and receiving three miniature typewriters for change; Sinatra drinking himself into a glass tumbler; Bugs imitating Groucho opposite Elmer's Harpo; and what is the point of the gag with Gregory Peck - or is it supposed to be Tyrone Power in The Razor's Edge?) are not all that funny. But Bugs eventually does get to dine with Bogey and Baby and in the meantime dances up a storm in a nice Carmen Miranda take-off. The rabbit is full of his usual vitality, and we like his snappy white tie and tails. Fudd has some "waughable" business too including a quick-witted trick with a mirror.

ccthemovieman-1 We are at the Hollywood exclusive nightclub, "The Mocrumbo," where dinners are $600 apiece (today that translates to thousands). The entertainment: "Leopold And His Chifafa Five." Leopold is Leopold Stokowski, the conductor who seems to be a favorite of the Looney Tunes crowd.Eating a steak is either Gary Cooper or Gregory Peck; At the bar is Ray Milland in a parody of "The Lost Weekend." Using a straw for a drink is the super-skinny Frank Sinatra; Elmer Fudd is a waiter and Humphrey Bogart asks for some "fried rabbit." Humphrey slaps him around and demands a rabbit dinner. Back in the kitchen, Elmer hears the obnoxious chewing of Bugs Bunny eating a carrot. Bugs gives him the famous line from "To Have And Have Not," telling Elmer to "tell Bogie if he wants me, all he has to do is whistle."I enjoyed seeing Bugs imitating Groucho Marx; hiding in Carmen Miranda's fruit-basket hat, and doing the conga dance. The ending was kind of lame, but it was "cute" to see Bugs serving himself on a platter to Bogie's girl, Lauren Bacall.I enjoyed the rich colors in this cartoon which was included in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume Two.

movieman_kev Humphrey Bogart is in the Mocrumbo restaurant (a spoof of the legendary Mucombo in LA), where Elmer Fudd is working as a chef. Bogart wants fried rabbit, so Elmer chases Bugs around in hopes of making him dinner. Half the fun is the chase and all the shenanigans that entails. The other half is spotting all the personality parodies. There's Bogert, Grocho Marx, and Lauren Bacall, of course. But there's also Leopold Stokowski, Gregory Peck, Ray Milland, Frank Sinatra, Sydney Greenstreet, and Carmen Miranda. This animated short can be seen on Disc 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2. It also features an optional commentary by Micheal Barrier.My Grade: A-

RSmythe42 This is absolutely hilarious!!... It is my favorite BB cartoon. Bogie,Groucho, Ray Milland....its fabulous. Then hiding in Carmen Miranda's hat followed by the dance. Priceless. The fact that a cartoon character can provide laughs like this is living proof of the talent the creators had. If you want to see the essential "wise-guy" that was in essence the character itself, this is the one to see. This, along with the cartoon in which he is offered the "oscar", shows that this was one that played in the big-leagues. It also provides a little bit of a history lesson for the younger generations. It shows the "star power" that was in place at that time...and a mixture of comedians, dramatic actors and musical entertainers.
