Bugs Bunny had gotten acquainted with a penguin once before (in 1949's "Frigid Hare"), but this time he goes all out. After a penguin gets left in a performance hall, Bugs agrees to take the little guy to the South Pole. The journey down proves to be quite far from what anyone expected, especially given the Panama Canal tax and encounters with a certain movie star.
"8-Ball Bunny" is far from the greatest cartoon. It seems like one of the shorts that they made to fill in the gaps between the really famous ones (1950 also saw the release of "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" and "The Rabbit of Seville"). But no matter, it's got some neat scenes, namely the penguin's tears freezing. Worth seeing, if only once.
Hoboken. Maybe he knew Frank Sinatra.
