Featured review
Lesser Bugs short
Looney Tunes version of Christopher Columbus' voyage to America with Bugs Bunny along for the ride. It's not great, folks. Mel Blanc voices Columbus with this Mario Bros. accent while turning King Ferdinand into a Mexican from the Speedy Gonzales cartoons, for some reason. Stereotyped accents don't bother me usually but here they're just distracting (and in Ferdinand's case just wrong). Queen Isabella is made to sound like Mae West or something, which is amusing at least. It's not a funny short with no memorable gags and most of the humor relying on the "that's-a spicy meatball-a" stuff from Columbus and his crew. At one point they resort to puns for laughs with a "captain's mess" joke that's just groan-worthy. On the plus side Carl Stalling's music is nice and the animation is lovely, with well-drawn characters and backgrounds and great colors. It's a pretty weak effort for the classic era, when Bugs had few misfires.
