Synopsis

A collection of Warner Brothers short cartoon features, "starring" the likes of Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Wile.E.Coyote. These animations are interspersed by Bugs Bunny reminiscing on past events and providing links between the individual animations which are otherwise unconnected. This 1979 feature-length compilation includes several of his best cartoons. Among the 11 shorts shown in their entirety are the classics "Robin Hood Daffy," "What's Opera, Doc?," "Bully for Bugs," and "Duck Amuck". The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie provides a showcase not only for Jones's razor-sharp timing, but for the work of his exceptional crew, which included designer Maurice Noble, writer Mike Maltese, composers Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn, and voice actor Mel Blanc.

Petri Pelkonen This movie, hosted by Bugs Bunny, contains of classic Warner Bros. cartoon shorts.The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979) is directed by Chuck Jones and Phil Monroe.The voice artists of this movie are Mel Blanc, Arthur Q. Bryan and Nicolai Shutorov.I just saw this on a DVD and had the most fun watching it.The movie is full of funny, zany stuff.Like the whole "Kill the Wabbit" routine in "What's Opera, Doc?" Or Bugs the conductor making the opera singer go very high.Or Daffy being shot by Elmer various times in "Rabbit Fire".And the skunk Pepe Le Pew falling for the cat with a skunk painting in "For Scent-imental Reasons".The Road Runner flick is a lot of fun.It's a riot when Wile E. Coyote eats the earthquake pills.Then we have "Robin Hood Daffy" and lots of others.Certainly not a dull moment in The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie.
Lee Eisenberg In "The Great American Chase", Bugs Bunny traipses through his house and tells us the story of chases. To make his point, he shows us several classic cartoons (some starring him) dealing with situations involving hot pursuits. Well, not all of them have chases; some are there just for fun. Bugs remembers how Chuck Jones sent him into space, where he met Marvin the Martian; then how Daffy Duck and Porky Pig tried to colonize Planet X and had to contend with Marvin the Martian; how Daffy (as Robin Hood) had a very hard time recruiting Porky (as Friar Tuck); how Daffy's scenery frustratingly changed every few minutes; how he, Bugs, ended up in a bullfight; how he and Daffy dug into Ali Baba's cave; how he and Elmer Fudd acted out "The Ride of the Valkyries"; how Wile E. Coyote tried and failed to eat him; and finally, how Wile E. decided to try something a little more his size, by which we mean the Road Runner. The Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner chase is really the best part of the movie. Overall, it's a pretty neat compilation of classic cartoons, and I liked the scene where Bugs remembers his "fathers" (Mel Blanc, Chuck Jones, etc.).
tfrizzell A wide selection of cartoon shorts starring most all the Warner Bros. characters and is tied together by new animation featuring Bugs Bunny talking in a large mansion. The cartoons are hit-and-miss and when they are all put together in a feature-length film the whole project borders on being down-right tedious. The title does not make a whole lot of sense either as Bugs Bunny dominates the action and The Road Runner only has one cartoon with his arch-nemesis Wile E. Coyote. Only fair. Catch the same thing on the Cartoon Network at most anytime of the day. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
skad13 Skip the unctuous opening and fast-forward to the highlights: Bugs battling a bull; Daffy Duck battling an unseen animator; and the all-time great WHAT'S OPERA, DOC?, in which the usual Bugs-and-Elmer chase is done in best operatic style
