Colorful Spoof With An Unexpected Ending

The first thing I noticed in this Looney Tunes takeoff on "Casablanca" is the fantastic artwork. Man, this looks beautiful! The second thing quickly apparent is that this cartoon is going to include a ton of Looney Tunes characters, all congregating in the "Cafe Au Lait Americain" establishment in "Carrotblanca."

With Bugs Bunny playing Humphrey Bogart; Daffy Duck as Sam the piano man, Tweety as Peter Lorre, Yosemite Sam as a Nazi general, etc., this is a hoot - really fun to watch. Of course, the more you know the movie Casablanca, the more you'll laugh at this.

However, to be honest, I didn't find it hilarious, just mildly amusing and, of course, clever. With only seven or so minutes to work with, they had to rush the story so the ending is a bit goofy...but, hey, it's a cartoon, and they're supposed to provide us the unexpected!
