Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The scene in which Bugs discusses his "several fathers" was written by Chuck Jones as a way to debunk fellow animation director Robert Clampett's claims throughout the 1970s that he alone created Bugs. Clampett's name is notably missing from Bugs's list. more
Goofs:
Miscellaneous: About 5 minutes into the movie as Bugs relates the beginning of man and he points out our fourth rate star, the Sun, you can see "Start 56+0 Filter 16 Yellow" written in the middle of the Sun. more

quick money, just a compilation, 29 June 2008
3/10
Author: morton grimp

Why did they make this movie? It's not really a movie at all, it's just a compilation of old Looney Tunes. Sure, the cartoons were always good, but you don't have to watch this movie to see them. A lot of people have commented highly on this film, saying it's a great compilation movie, but I disagree. This is just an attempt at making money without having to do any new material.

When I buy a movie, which presents itself as being a movie, and all I get are some sloppily pieced together, chopped up cartoons, it's a big let down. If you're hoping to see some new material, don't watch this. It makes much more sense to just buy the Looney Tunes Golden collection on DVD, or just record the cartoons from TV.
