While this isn't the best Bugs Bunny cartoon I've seen, it has a lot going for it. The Stork, seen drunk throughout, is one of the funnier Warner Bros creations (if babies really *were* delivered by a stork, it occurs to me that he probably would have to face temptations of "toasting to" the babies he delivers, thus his drunkenness). The main body of the cartoon, where Bugs has to pretend to be the gorilla's baby and mischievously tortures the father gorilla, is ok, but the final act of the short is the best. It's hilarious the first time you see it, mildly funny the next few times, and you become immune to it after that. Which is a shame because back when I was recording Boomerang's daily block of Looney Tunes films, this was one they played ad nauseum...
