A classic example of Bugs Bunny at his finest!
18 December 2003
I love this cartoon. The sight gags are hilarious. Michael Maltese might not have had too much to do with this cartoon, but when Bugs talks, it's impossible not to laugh. His rather one-sided conversation with the bullfighter in the weird clothes always makes me anticipate that moment when the bull appears from behind. Bugs, for the first time, forgets the left turn at Albuquerque. I heard somewhere that on a certain channel the final, beautiful running-gag was deleted. This is simply unacceptable. I, fortunately, have never suffered censorship in a cartoon, and no-one should see this cartoon if not in its entirety. The climax is what makes this classic. Who could forget the bull's facial expression as his situation worsens as every part of Bugs's plan flawlessly unfolds? Bugs is on the losing side for a while, but when he gathers himself up again, he is absolutely side-splittingly funny as he calmly gets his own back by wearing the bull down to ground beef. It's great that it's on about two or three videos plus DVD; it truly deserves the wide release. I'm giving it one high recommendation.
