Storyline

Hipster Cool Cat arrives in his dune buggy at Disco Tech college, where he is a student. Cool Cat decides to be an athlete for the college. To impress some girls, he tries to pole vault. A bee's sting causes him to make an incredible leap over the pole. With every sport that Cool Cat plays, the same bee stings him at an opportune time, resulting in bursts of energy that enable Cool Cat to row fast, leap hurdles, and score football touchdowns. Disco Tech becomes number one in college sports, and the bee is awarded.

User Reviews

Mediocre cartoon

Not one of these cartoons that I would see again and again. With the help of the bee, Cool Cat scores a touchdown, but only after running out-of-bounds several times and in-and-out of the football stadium. This was somewhat funny, but other than that, it is no match for most of the classic Bugs Bunny toons.
