Movie Description
This definitive collection of works by animation "super-genius" Chuck Jones is an essential document for fans and an enjoyably wacky romp for the uninitiated. Classic cartoon footage is connected via a retired Bugs Bunny (voiced by Mel Blanc), who takes the viewer on a tour of his mansion while discussing the history of "the chase" as a source of entertainment through time. The old footage kicks off with two Marvin the Martian shorts, which showcase Jones's modernistic "space-pad" designs. Daffy Duck appears in "Robin Hood Daffy," followed by the genuinely existential "Duck Amuck." The excellent "What's Opera, Doc?" and "Bully for Bugs" are both included, as are appearances by Pepe Le Pew, Elmer Fudd, and Porky the Pig. The finale is an extended edit of Wile E. Coyote vs. Roadrunner footage, with the tireless canine spending what must be exhorbitant amounts of money on Acme traps and weaponry in his futile efforts to catch his would-be dinner. Children, and anyone else who's ever watched Saturday morning TV, will find this a rewarding collection, while fans of unique, surreal cartoons will value this look into one of animation's great minds.
Synopsis
Bugs Bunny leads the wily viewer on a tour through the history of "the chase" while showing various classic cartoons, all from the warped mind of veteran animator Chuck Jones. Highlights are the classic "What's Opera, Doc?," "Bully for Bugs," and the existential "Duck Amuck." Fans will also be treated to an extended assemblage of Wile E. Coyote vs. Roadrunner gags, the premiere cartoon of Pepe Le Pew, and two close encounters with Marvin the Martian. This is a definitive showcase for one of animation's great minds--and a must-see for cartoon fans of all ages.
