Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Classic Bugs Bunny cartoon from the team of Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese. This one is the first appearance of Marvin the Martian. Bugs is launched into space and becomes the first rabbit on the moon. Quickly following his historic accomplishment, another spaceship lands on the moon. Out steps Marvin the Martian and his dog K-9. Marvin intends to blow up Earth with a "Uranium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator" but Bugs has other ideas. It's a fresh and very funny short that gave us terrific characters in Marvin and K-9. Marvin's voice here is a little different as Mel Blanc hadn't perfected it yet. Aside from that minor distraction, this is a perfect cartoon. A real classic with great animation, writing, music, and voice work.

"Scientists Set To Launch First Rocket To Moon," screams the newspaper headlines. "Heroic Rabbit Volunteers As First Passenger," reads another.The next scene shows Bugs being literally dragged by a couple of big men, and yelling, "I don't want to go; I'm too young to fly! Stop. I've got a wife and kids. Millions of kids. Help! I don't want to be a hero. You ain't getting me in that flying cigar!" (So much for "heroic.")When they load the rocket with carrots, Bugs quickly changes his mind....and off he goes! He crash-lands on Mars, is soon joined by Marvin the Martian (who isn't named that yet being this is is first time on screen) who attempts to blow up Earth). The Martian is joined by his "helper" K -9. Bugs, of course, tries to stop Earth from being destroyed.This is very silly and designed strictly for tiny tots but still is interesting enough for adults to watch.

Bugs Bunny 'volunteers' somewhat reluctantly (kicking and screaming) to be the first earthling blasted into space. He perks up however when they fill the rocket to the brim with carrots. After a bone-crushing spell of g-force he lands a little too roughly on the moon and decides to go for a little sight-seeing. On his journey he meets Marvin the Martian (who sounds a little bit different than usual) and his usual plans to blow up the earth for some insane reason.As usual, hijinks and endless outsmarting follow, all to wonderful effect. It's in this type of anarchy and imagination that Bugs and the rest of the Looney Tunes prove how ingenious they really are.

When the first mission to the moon is announced, Bugs Bunny volunteers to `man' the rocket and be the first to set foot there. When he arrives however, he is joined by a rocket from Mars that has also come to the moon for the first time. However the alien has come to use the moon as a base to attack the earth as opposed to exploration.I usually quite like the Mars based cartoons but occasionally they will be too simple - requiring too much set up before the jokes start. That is sort of the case here; the cartoon has to explain why Bugs is on the moon in the first place and so on. The short then sees Bugs trying to foil the alien attack on earth but this isn't very funny. The antics don't really have any imagination and nothing really happens of note.The characters are also quite weak. Bugs is OK, as he always tends to be however the alien is really poor. I don't know what's up with his voice, but he doesn't sound as sharp or as `good' as he usually does (awful use of words there, sorry!). The dog is just a clown rather than a character.Overall this is amusing but none more than that. It lacks imagination and wit; just going through the motions at times without really pushing it. It's a shame because the setting of space should open it up for all sorts of crazy antics but it doesn't work here.
