The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie

G 7.2
1979 1 hr 37 min Animation , Comedy , Family

A collection of Warner Brothers short cartoon features, "starring" the likes of Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Wile.E.Coyote. These animations are interspersed by Bugs Bunny reminiscing on past events and providing links between the individual animations which are otherwise unconnected. This 1979 feature-length compilation includes several of his best cartoons. Among the 11 shorts shown in their entirety are the classics "Robin Hood Daffy," "What's Opera, Doc?," "Bully for Bugs," and "Duck Amuck". The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie provides a showcase not only for Jones's razor-sharp timing, but for the work of his exceptional crew, which included designer Maurice Noble, writer Mike Maltese, composers Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn, and voice actor Mel Blanc.

This was the debut for Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. It was also their only cartoon made in the 1940s. It set the template for the series, in which Wile E. Coyote (here given the ersatz Latin name Carnivorous Vulgaris) tries to catch Roadrunner (Accelleratii Incredibus) through many traps, plans and products, although in this first cartoon not all of the products are yet made by the Acme Corporation.

Many people regard this as the best Looney Tunes movie ever made. This movie only has about 12 minutes of new animation, but that doesn't mean it isn't awesome! This film features some of the best Looney Tunes cartoons ever made. It's pretty safe to assume that "Duck Amuck" is my favorite of all of these. It can be hard to critique something that's just a collection of already created cartoons. Still, it's great to have Bugs Bunny around and chronicle these great cartoons. There actually is this really clever thing done at the end. They don't show a single Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner cartoon. We instead get to see 19 minutes of short scenes from various Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons. I'm surprised there was no mention of Leon Schlesinger at the beginning. He worked on 468 cartoons in his life! That really is all folks. ***1/2

As stated in the title of my review, this is my favorite animated feature, even though its not exactly a feature in the traditional sense. This movie is a compilation of really great Warner Bros. cartoons directed by my favorite animation director, Chuck Jones. This feature contains what most people(including me) consider some of the greatest cartoons of all time. Great cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Pepe le Pew, and the Road Runner are prevalent throughout this movie. In addition to the aforementioned cartoons, there are also mildly amusing bridging sequences where Bugs Bunny gives commentaries about the cartoons being shown. In summary, while this movie doesn't exactly have a plot, it features some of the best cartoons ever made, cartoons that combine impeccable timing, an incredible amount of wit, and many great characters.

I loved this since I was a young aspiring animator (I'm now a part-time writer),and my biggest influence was Warner Bros's animation and the work of Chuck Jones. When this finally came on Cartoon Network, I made sure to watch it.It contains the classics I've known for so long: "Robin Hood Daffy", the Wile E./Roadrunner shorts, "Louvre Come Back to Me", and the famous Bugs vs. Daffy shorts. It was great to see it all in its own little collection.It's such a shame this isn't out on DVD. I own the VHS copy with the original artwork.I recommend this to anyone who loves animation, especially WB's.

This is basically a compilation movie made from many, many Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons and only a few minutes of new footage. The cartoon movie is hosted by Bugs Bunny. It is basically a documentary like movie about the story of chasing in films. It also mentions about the Looney Tunes cartoons and its creators. The sequences included in the cartoon movie have Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Mervin the Martian and of course, most memorable cartoon chase, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. I think it is the long final sequence of the film with just half an hour or so of Road Runner and Coyote. Mel Blanc provides all the memorable voices. Pepe Le Pew was number 73, Road Runner number 47, Daffy Duck number 30, Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies number 20 and Bugs Bunny number 10 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Very good!
