It's only fitting to borrow from Daffy (Daffy Dilly, 1948) for a subject line to describe this outing of Bugs. Just like the previous - & unfortunately only other - appearance of the Monster (Hair-Raising Hare, 1946), the nighttime exterior castle scenery is richly atmospheric; along with (naturally) the spell-weaving Background Score, it draws the viewer in "Ooh!" style, anticipating what's going to happen next. It's been a decades-long tossup as to which of the 2 Mad Scientist characters is better; I love em both individually, & have quoted bits of dialogue from both toons - e.g. "I need what little I've got!" from here - in my writings for years, so while I give just the teeniest edge to the superbly realized Peter Lorre version (he was real, after all), that don't take anything away from this bulb-headed nut job with his smoothly evil voice & a face just perfect for a Halloween mask. This toon with yet another hilarious Bugs "working girl" portrayal, like the giant robot which never got started, really is "so nearly perfect!"
