Not as good as people say

Warning: Spoilers
This is a Warner Bros. cartoon from 65 years ago starring Bug Bunny and Elmer Fudd. The three key players behind it are once again Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese and Mel Blanc. I have to say I am pretty baffled by this film's popularity and success. There seems to be something about Looney Toons and opera. To me, however, as somebody with little to no interest in opera, these seven minutes were fairly mediocre and inferior to most other works involving Bugs and the gang from around that time. The gags weren't really funny, but maybe you have to know Barber of Seville to understand them. Bugs cut off Elmer's beard on one occasion, so I guess you have to. All in all, I cannot recommend this short film unless you know the piece I just mentioned.
