THE
BUGS BUNNY /
ROAD RUNNER
MOVIE
—— animation ——
Bugs Bunny is over-stuffed with carrots,
and Road Runner is running in circles with itself
I chose to watch this mainly because it made the animation list on the forum, but also because I remember watching Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry all day and all night during my childhood. I loved those little shorts, and I thought that this must be some kind of perfect mix of everything good from those characters. I actually didn’t know it was just a compilation until a little later on, which kind of let me down a bit. But nevertheless, I was encouraged to see what this was all about…
I find it hard to do a full and functional review of this “film”, mainly because I didn’t really like it much and second because I like them better as the iconic individual shorts that they are, instead of this giant mish-mash of a tiresome length. I especially hated the road runner half, since you ran tired on the creative contraptions by the third short in a row, and watching the coyote getting smashed to smithereens for the seventieth time just wasn’t as fun as the first time. I didn’t like the little in-between intercourse with Bugs Bunny either, guiding the audience through his fame as a movie star and introducing the upcoming clips.
When it comes to these compilations, I generally hate when you take something that is completely fine as it is, and then try to make some more money on it for no reason – well except for just that. Did they really need more bucks from the bugs and dollars from the duck? I think this short compilation is totally unnecessary, and there were a few famous shorts not included in it either, which I missed a lot throughout. In the end of it all, I never felt like I was enjoying this film, and when I actually was, it wasn’t because of the film but because of the nostalgic value of one of the shorts playing – or because that short was simply great. But still, it felt less great in the tight company of compressed collective chaos. So once again, there are definitely some great shorts in here, but they are totally destroyed when mashed into a mess like it is the case here.
