Synopsis

If Bugs Bunny were to direct his signature inquiry--"What's up, doc?"--toward the modern-day Warner Bros. creative team, he wouldn't be far off. For 1001 Rabbit Tales, they've doctored up a batch of classic cartoons featuring the carrot muncher and his bumbling comrades and bundled them, near seamlessly, into a feature-length film. Here's the premise: Bugs and Daffy, both book salesmen, are competing to sell the most copies of a kids' book. Instead of burrowing a beeline to his sales territory (he should have made a left at Albuquerque), Bugs ends up in the castle of Yosemite Sam, here a harem-leading honcho. Sam's pain-in-the-spurs son, Prince Abalaba, needs somebody to read him stories; Bugs, who'd sooner take the job than suffer the alternative, that involving being boiled in oil, signs on.

Joe Dompierre I've been watching Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies bunch for as long as I can remember. I grew up in the 60's before so many of the cartoons were gutted due to concerns about violence, and before they were edited for time.This vid, and the others in the series, makes use of all the old cartoons and splices them together in an effort to create some kind of common time line, and I supposed if you hadn't seen the originals it would be pretty slick, but for me it doesn't work very well. Hiccupy, if that's even remotely a word, is how I would describe it. Little modifications, some substantial cuts, and the overlying *effort* needed to fall into the new storyline takes away a lot of the magic for me.But the cartoons are good, solid classics. Watch it for those.
Petri Pelkonen Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are book salesmen.They go different ways to sell books and a lot of fun stuff happens to them.Bugs ends up in Sultan Yosemite Sam's palace, where he is forced to tell tales to Prince Abadaba.Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982) is directed by Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones and Robert McKimson.It has a compilation of classic Warner Bros. shorts.As voice artists you can hear Mel Blanc, who does the voice of Bugs, Daffy, Porky Pig and so on.Arthur Q. Bryan is Elmer Fudd.June Foray (who is 94 years old today!) is Granny and some others.Shepard Menken is Old Storyteller.Lennie Weinrib is Abadaba.Bill Roberts is Michigan J. Frog.I had most fun watching this.As did my 7-year old cousins.It's hilarious when Daffy pretends to be the stuffed duck.Or Sylvester trying to catch the gigantic Tweety in the beanstalk tale.Not to forget Sylvester as the Pied Piper and Speedy Gonzales doing his thing.These Looney Tunes tales are great fun- for both kids and adults.
Jackson Booth-Millard This was the last Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies compilation film made up of loads of already made cartoons, concocted into a story. Basically Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are working for a book selling company. They split up to sell books in different areas, however Daffy wants to head south to migrate. Bugs meets Daffy after mistakingly being given to gorillas by the Stork and chased by Elmer Fudd, and they both end up in Arabia. Bugs finds a kingdom run by Yosemite Sam. He is told to read his 1001 stories for his prince, or face being boiled in oil. This is obviously an excuse to use many good episodes involving fairy tales, e.g. Jack and the Beanstalk, Hansel and Gretel, a Pied Piper story, and a Singing Frog. Daffy Duck was number 30, Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies number 20 and Bugs Bunny number 10 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Worth watching!
Movie Nuttball I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes and animated films then I strongly recommend that you watch this movie today!
