Review of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979) by Jon T — 19 May 2010
THE BUGS BUNNY/ROAD RUNNER MOVIE is a compilation of Looney Tunes cartoons, with some new animation created to "bridge" them into a 98 minute package. From his retirement suite, Bugs Bunny introduces these cartoons and provides some amusing backdrops about how the first chase was invented.
He even introduces the many artists responsible for his amazing career, particularly the legendary Chuck Jones, whose finest (and funniest) cartoons are given a special spotlight. These include timeless classics like "Long Haired Hare", "What's Opera Doc", "Duck Dodgers", and "Duck Amuck".
The last 20 minutes are clips of Wile E. Coyote's repeated attempts to catch the ever-elusive Road Runner. This long stretch toward the end can feel somewhat like padding, and fans who prefer to watch these shorts uncut will be disappointed to discover that two of them have been edited.
Even so, the entertainment value of the overall package is immense, and of course, the Looney Tunes themselves are timeless.
