A documentary-styled cartoon in which a behavioral study of the effects of different headgear ensues by constantly changing the hats on Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd and inducing them to enact the personalities suggested by the hats that land on their heads.

I have loved Looney Tunes all my life, and this cartoon is no exception. First of all, I loved the concept it was original and would work effectively if done right. And it was done right, with hilarious results. The visual gags are wonderful, and the dialogue is incredibly funny. The animation is excellent, with lovely backgrounds, convincing character features and beautiful colours, and the music is dramatic and lively. Bugs is on top form, I love Bugs and he is simply great here, and all the supporting characters are well written and well incorporated into the story. The pacing is fast and furious, and the voice work from Mel Blanc as is always the case is exceptional. Overall, it was a great idea and the results are hilarious! 10/10 Bethany Cox
