User Reviews

Yo ho ho, and a bottle of Looney fun!

While sometimes a little too reliant on slapstick, particularly in the middle half, and one or two of the sight gags are executed a little predictably, this cartoon is enormous fun. Just plain Looney fun with a lot of battle- of- the- wits just as I like it. The animation is excellent really colourful and expressive, the music is beautiful and rousing, the vocal characterisations are spot on as pretty much always and the writing is very funny and imaginative. Both Bugs and Yosemite Sam are on top form, and the story is engaging enough for both kids and adults.

In conclusion, this is a lot of rollicking fun. 9/10 Bethany Cox
