    Not among the best from Looney Tunes.

    In 1941, Hollywood could see that sooner or later the US would become involved in WWII. So, to bolster the war effort, the studios made many military comedies such as "Buck Privates", "Caught in the Draft" and "Tanks a Million". "Rookie Revue" is a cartoon comedy cashing in on the same craze.

    Like many earlier Looney Tunes cartoons, the style of "Rookie Revue" is like a documentary, with narration and MANY jokes that make you groan. Yes, the jokes are pretty lame...and the final remark "I'm a bad general" is a play on Lou Costello's "I'm a bad boy" phrase which he so frequently used.
