This is a high quality Warner Brothers cartoon,...there's no doubt about that. It's from the most productive and best period for their toons, so the animation quality and the rest of the production values are top notch. The problem, for me, is that this cartoon is not for all tastes and seems overrated. Surely there are much funnier Bugs Bunny cartoons (such as all the wonderful ones he did with Daffy Duck). And, how many kids would really enjoy this cartoon since it is chock full of opera and many of the usual Bugs Bunny hijinks are missing. I think this short is a great example of "IMDb-think"--adults are the ones rating the films on IMDb and so the ratings are strongly skewed towards what adults like. I know as a kid, I hated cartoons like this. Now that I am older (though perhaps not any more mature), I STILL don't particularly like this toon. Nope,...give me the good old Bugs Bunny over this opera-infested snoozer.
