Box-Office Bunny

Plot synopsis:
The action takes place in a massive movie theater, called "Cineminium". It is a 100-screen multiplex, constructed right above Bugs' rabbit hole. When Bugs surfaces within the theater, usher Elmer Fudd attempts to drive him away. Meanwhile, Daffy finds the admission fee of the multiplex to be too high for his tastes. He instead uses his library card to force open a door and sneak inside.
The would-be free rider stumbles on the usher, Elmer. To divert attention from his own illegal entry, Daffy drives Elmer to further focus on Bugs. He also joins forces with him against Bugs. Following a chase through the movie theater, Bugs manages to trap his opponents within a projection screen and within the film depicted on it. Said film is apparently part of the slasher film subgenre and the trapped duo are confronted by a "hockey-mask wearing, chainsaw-wielding maniac". During the "That's all, Folks!" sequence in the end title card, Daffy and Elmer break through the ending card in their attempt to escape. Bugs pokes out of the hole they made and simply says to the audience "And that's all, folks!"

Review: Good, but nothing terribly exceptional..
Though this is a good, enjoyable cartoon, they did much better ones later on, like Carrotblanca.
This is almost like the first Star Trek feature, which would have been welcomed with open arms and glee no matter what, just for existing.
This is really a patchwork of old bits with some nice touches, but nothing special.
Reminds me a bit of the hunting trilogy in spots and the ending is priceless.
Available and certainly well worth watching just for the novelty and the good bits.
Recommended..
Reasonable update on the old formula.
When Bugs Bunny discovers that a 100 screen cinema has been build on top of his rabbit hole, he pops up to watch a film.
However usher Elmer Fudd notices that he didn't buy a ticket and tries to eject him.
A chase kicks off that is only disturbed when Daffy Duck, sneaking in himself, gets involved.When I saw this was a modern version of the old cartoons I braced myself to be assaulted by some very poor stuff, however I was pleased to find that, on the whole, this was quite enjoyable.
The plot basically allows for one chase sequence where Bugs attempts to outwit Elmer in the good old style that he does.
The addition of Daffy Duck was OK but totally unnecessary in my opinion and I spent most of the cartoon wondering why he had been added other than just getting another character in there.The gags are OK but there are few moments where the film becomes very modern that just don't work.
Specifically there is an awful `scratch' moment where the three dance to the scratching music, but more generally I was a little put off by the look and actions of the modern Bugs - he didn't totally fit with the 50's character I love.Despite this it is still a good cartoon.
It is unfair to compare it with the classics but it is impossible not to do so.
If you gave me the choice between this modern cartoon and a good old one, I would always plump for the old one, but as it is, this is quite funny and enjoyable to watch..
It stinks.
Expectedly terrible modern Looney Tunes short.
Bugs Bunny goes to the multiplex where Elmer is working as an usher.
Then Daffy Duck tries to sneak in.
Basically the whole cartoon is the three of them doing things that vaguely resemble humor and, pathetically, calling back to old Looney Tunes shorts that were actually original and funny.
The animation is colorful and the characters are well-drawn but the backgrounds are flat.
Basically the Colorforms approach to animation.
The voice work is okay if we put aside all comparisons to Mel Blanc or Arthur Q.
Bryan.
The short is never funny and, from what I could tell, they didn't try very hard to be.
The worst part of the whole unpleasant affair is the sound.
The music is loud and overbearing.
The sound effects are even louder.
So obnoxious!
Avoid this trash and go watch the classic shorts.
Five minutes or not, this stuff isn't worth your time..
Extremely funny and long overdue.
The Looney Tunes have existed for over fifty years and somewhere along the line, they lost the thing that made them so special and became, at best, tiresome.
Box Office Bunny changed that.
It was a return to what made Looney Tunes so great and put Bugs Bunny back in his element.
Very good and highly recommended..
Nice cartoon but nothing exceptional.
Don't get me wrong this was fun to watch.
It has some nice animation with exception of an odd looking Bugs, and some nice music.
And the standout scene was definitely Elmer, Bugs and Daffy's dance on the floor, that was such a nice and fun touch.
As a matter of fact, the whole cartoon is nice to watch, but all in all it is not what I call exceptional like Carrotblanca.
There are some very nice gags, but they have been used before I feel, and there wasn't much that I would deem hilarious.
And Daffy joining forces with Elmer?
Somehow seeing as he was a target of the hunter, didn't it seem odd that he would be friends with him.
Though I will admit it was nice having Daffy there.
The voice acting was above average too, but somehow I missed Mel Blanc.All in all, unexceptional but very nice cartoon.
7/10 Bethany Cox. The gang reloaded.
"Box-Office Bunny" is an American 5-minute cartoon from 1990 and fans of old animated works will immediately recognize from the film's title that here we have a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
But despite the retro style, if you take a look at the brief runtime, the frequent use of costumes and the names of the people who worked on it, like the writer or Darrell Van Citters, the pretty prolific director, or the voice actors, you won't find any names from the Golden Age of Animation.
The reason is simple.
This one is from 1990, so still over 25 years old now, but also from 50 years after Warner Bros.
peaked.
It was an okay cartoon as a whole, but maybe trying too much to be witty instead of funny, even if the wit is undeniable on several occasions.
It peaked probably early on already when Bugs turns the tables on Elmer and shows us his police inspector outfit.
Everything afterward is just mediocre sadly and this includes the final twist on being stuck inside the screen too.
Daffy's addition here really added not much quality at all and at this runtime, the certainly could have kept it at Bugs vs.
Elmer, especially as Elmer became less and less significant the longer it went.
The potential was there, but as a whole the execution was underwhelming.
Watch something else instead..
THE RETURN OF MR BUGS BUNNY (but kind of disappointing).
Hooray, Mr Bugs Bunny is finally back in action.
However, 'Box-Office Bunny' is worse than the other shorts than Bugs Bunny appeared in the American Animation Golden Age. I think that the film is a bad disappointment.
I was expecting the short to be great as it is the return of Bugs Bunny since his final short in 1964.
However, I was wrong.
The plot is weak.
However, the good thing about 'Box-Office Bunny' is that there are some funny and interesting scene.
One example of this is that seeing Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd dancing on some kind of sticky floor.
Lastly, it is a good thing that Bugs Bunny returns.I am a fan of Bugs Bunny since I was young.
Despite the plot, I still enjoyed it because of its funny scenes.
Finally, HAPPY 67TH BIRTHDAY, MR BUGS BUNNY!
