It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

. . . which seems to be the basic premise of GORILLA MY DREAMS, then it would be the father's responsibility to kill off all of his sons until he was too old and feeble to prevent the last of them from returning the favor and inheriting his harem (comprised mostly of his sisters and aunts, of course). This is the theme of the Warner Bros. animated short, GORILLA MY DREAMS, based on the prevailing Red States Life Style of the 1940s (still pretty much in vogue there Today). Though Naturalists such as Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey have proved that gorillas actually are MATRIARCHAL since DREAMS first hit the screen, the other side of Warner's analogy still rings true Today. As BIG LOVE recently documented, harem-based living has spread to most of the Red States now. While Blue State Billionaires usually mate for life, those in the so-called "Bible Belt" often boast three to eight wives (though those who cross state lines frequently, such as John Wayne or the Honorary Dixie Darling Donald Trump, make out like they're practicing Serial Marriage). Whether Gruesome Gorilla is a Serial Killer we'll never know for sure, though it's implied that he's disposed of any previous sons prior to Bugs Bunny's "adoption" by Mrs. Gruesome in "Bingzi Bangzi."

While not the best of the Looney Tunes canon, Gorilla My Dreams is still a very entertaining cartoon I think. I agree the ending is rather abrupt and lame, and I cannot say I was a fan of the female gorilla, she doesn't do that much that is interesting.However, the animation is solid and colourful, I especially loved how the jungle was animated. The music is lovely and has a lot of energy, Bugs's song at the beginning as he is sitting eating a carrot and reading a book in the boat is very amusing, especially for the lyrics. The dialogue is witty and funny, Bugs of course gets the best lines and does a lot with them, while the sight gags are good. Bugs of course is great fun, while the male gorilla was a decent foil, gruff he was but I think he was meant to be. Mel Blanc does a wonderful job yet again with the voices.Overall, an entertaining cartoon while not the best. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Bugs is adrift at sea in a barrel, reading a book and singing a song as though he hasn't got a care in the world. Unfortunately, he doesn't realise he's near an island in the ocean populated by ferocious gorillas, and when one of the childless female apes sees him floating by, she takes an instant shine to him being her baby.. despite the fact he has long ears and fluffy tale. How will her hubby cope with the news that he has a rabbit as a heir (ho ho)? You'll have to watch to find out.This short has almost exactly the same plot as another BB cartoon (the name escapes me for now) but the execution is far weaker. Aside from a couple of pratfalls involving a coconut tree and a shovel there are hardly any jokes here at all, just a few aimless chases and a several uninspiring background gags (Like Tarzan crossing at the traffic lights). The question: If you're going to rework earlier material, why bother if you're just going to strip out the good stuff and replace it with dead air? I don't have a clue. But what I am sure of is, when this appears on my Looney Tunes DVD in the future.. my finger will be firmly be rested on the SKIP button. 4/10

A female gorilla is depressed that she and her husband, Gruesome, haven't had a child. When Gruesome growls at her, she runs away crying and...you guessed it! She finds Bugs Bunny. When she takes him home, Gruesome decides to take Bugs for a walk, but then it turns out that the big guy wants to torment him. Naturally, Bugs has his own plans.I think that my favorite scene was when Bugs shakes a coconut out of a tree, and it falls on Gruesome like a football helmet. No matter what, you can always count on that "scwewy wabbit" to do something great. Maybe it was Mel Blanc's voices or maybe it was something else (I would assume that it was the former), but those old Looney Tunes cartoons were always the best.
