The first thing I noticed in this Looney Tunes takeoff on "Casablanca" is the fantastic artwork. Man, this looks beautiful! The second thing quickly apparent is that this cartoon is going to include a ton of Looney Tunes characters, all congregating in the "Cafe Au Lait Americain" establishment in "Carrotblanca."

With Bugs Bunny playing Humphrey Bogart; Daffy Duck as Sam the piano man, Tweety as Peter Lorre, Yosemite Sam as a Nazi general, etc., this is a hoot - really fun to watch. Of course, the more you know the movie Casablanca, the more you'll laugh at this.

However, to be honest, I didn't find it hilarious, just mildly amusing and, of course, clever. With only seven or so minutes to work with, they had to rush the story so the ending is a bit goofy...but, hey, it's a cartoon, and they're supposed to provide us the unexpected!

You can view this animated short if you purchase the Casablanca 2-disc Special Edition DVD.

My only complaint about the short is that it is, well, too short. They could have extended the storyline to put in more gags and references. I'm also a little upset that they left out classic lines ("beautiful friendship") and a semi-important character (Ferrari, which could have been played by Elmer Fudd).

Otherwise, it's a fun little short that fans of the movie (and WB cartoons) will enjoy. It would have been interesting to see how the original WB artists/writers of the "Casablanca" era would have done it, compared to this 1995 version.

This cartoon spoofs Casablanca wonderfully, and reuses the Scarlet Pumpernickel's formula for putting various stars in unlikely roles. Tweety is weird but funny as Usmarte and does an excellent Peter Lorre impression. The animation is of the new, plastic sort. But if you consider the animation of other cartoons these days, the weird digital sheen loses importance. Bugs apparently likes Penelope, which is strange, I must say. CAT and RABBIT?!!? Anyway, it's a cartoon, and such cartoons like The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950) quite disregard the species. Funny and filled with laughs, with more of the dramatic story sense than most. Highly recommended.

I first saw this film in the theaters when it was released in 1995 and loved every second of it! Viewing all the wonderful Warner Brothers characters in a parody of such a timeless masterpiece makes this cartoon short a real gem. I especially enjoyed Sylvester as Victor Laszlo and Tweety as Ugarte. My only real fault in this was how short it was, but to come again, its running time is typical for that of an average Warner Brothers animation. All in all it is very amusing, well-worth seeing, and highly recommended to the whole family, as can be said for the original classic: Casablanca.

Bugs Bunny in charge of Rick's café? This spoof of, of course, the 40s film 'Casablanca' sees our carrot-chewing hero as the fortune-hunting, love-sick exile who meets the love of his life again when she walks into his bar.

The strength of this cartoon isn't just in the details - they are a perfect reflection of the original film - but in the casting of well-known WB 'toon characters as the main players in 'Casablanca', for example Tweety Pie as Ugarte (the squeaky-voiced role originally played by Peter Lorre).

Better than 'Rabbit Hood', Bugs's take on 'The Adventures of Robin Hood'. These little shorts are inspired additions to the DVDs of the original films - keep 'em coming.

Hysterical! A great tribute to CASABLANCA and to the Looney Tunes history as well. Wonderful use of every Warners cartoon character imaginable (a la Chuck Jones's great SCARLET PUMPERNICKEL). A joy from start to finish. And don't miss Tweety Bird's great Peter Lorre impression

Casablanca is one of my favourite films of all time, and when I heard Looney Tunes had done a spoof on it I was enthused. So I gave it a shot, and I really liked it. My only real problem is that the cartoon is too short, consequently the story which is absolutely timeless felt rushed.

I also admit it isn't quite as good as the Looney Tunes cartoons made in the 1940s-1950s with Mel Blanc immortally doing the characterisation. Nevertheless, it is hugely enjoyable, with excellent colourful animation and wonderful music. But the real stars of course were the toons, Tweety's Peter Lorre impression was hilarious and Bugs takes on the Humphrey Bogart role with style. Penelope(named Kitty here) was lovely in the Ilsa role, but the real joys were Pepe LePew and Yosemite Sam. The voice acting is well done, while Joe Alaskey is not quite as good as Mel Blanc he does a great job with the voices of Sylvester and Daffy. Greg Burson is okay as Bugs (he doesn't quite nail it as Blanc did) but is much better as Pepe LePew and Foghorn Leghorn. Maurice LaMarche is superb as Yosemite though, and Bob Bergen is great as Tweety. And while she doesn't say much, Tress MacNeille is nice as Penelope.

All in all, a hugely enjoyable spoof to a classic. Yeah, they changed the ending, but so what? The cartoon is funny, that's all that matters really. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Carrotblanca was like all the classic Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and so on cartoons. In a mere six minutes or so, they spoofed a classic movie. Bugs Bunny is funny after decades of comedy, and Daffy Duck is always the foolish clown. The use of Tweety, Yosemite Sam, Pepe le Pew, Sylvester, and Foghorn Leghorn is also a nice touch.

This short is welcome and enjoyable for many reasons and on many levels. It's a good spoof of Casablanca, it's as hilarious as the best of the work Warner Brothers did in their heyday and half the fun is in spotting the characters in small roles or as extras (waiters, sitting at tables, etc.), as with The Scarlet Pumpernickel or the glorious Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, which used the same concept. Excellent short of recent vintage which maintains the spirit of the old shorts. Glad to see that it's available. Well worth watching. Most recommended.

I really don't care for many of the Looney Tunes cartoons made after the classic era and even less for those made from the '90s on. This is one of the more well-regarded and I can't for the life of me see why. It's a parody of Casablanca that tries to shoehorn in every character they can, even if they're only in it briefly. So it was seemingly targeted at an older audience that not only had seen a lot of Looney Tunes but had seen Casablanca, as well. Obviously you don't have to be older to know Casablanca but, let's be real, there aren't a lot of kids who have seen it or would even want to. That was as true in 1995 as it is today. The animation is showy but hollow. The voice work is the usual weak Blanc mimicry the later Looney Tunes have. The biggest problem with it is that it's just not funny. I didn't laugh once when I first saw it twenty years ago and, seeing it again today, I'm still not laughing. I love Looney Tunes and I love Casablanca. I appreciate that the effort behind this was sincere but I'm not really going to bump its rating up because of that. I just don't like it and I don't really understand why the heck they made it.

In an inspired decision, this cartoon was included on the new two-disc special edition of Casablance that was released in August 2003. It's worth more than just one look as many of your old favorites - Bugs, Daffy, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn and others - stop by for cameos or larger roles. I thought the best casting was Pepe LePew in the Claude Rains role, though Tweety's Peter Lorre impression is priceless. (These are two characters, incidentally, whom I usually have little use for.) A very worthy successor to the great Warner Bros. cartoons of the 40s and 50s, and a great homage to one of the greatest movies ever made.

"Carrotblanca," parody of the classic "Casablanca," is a hilarious spoof of the latter. Just about everyone turns up for this funny film.

Bugs plays the Rick part, and Penelope (the cat persistently followed by Pepe le Pew) plays the Elsa part (although named Kitty.) Sylvester plays Laszlo, and Daffy plays a hilarious Sam (Not Yosemite Sam, but the piano-player. Yosemite's a Nazi soldier for this round.)

This mini-movie has many hilarious moments from Bugs' first line to the absurd part in which Tweety is cast. At some points it seems Daffy steals the show (try forgetting about the "I thought I told you never to play that song" section) but otherwise Bugs is the one to watch.

My only complaint is that it goes rather fast. Of course, all the Looney Tunes shorts run an average of 7 minutes, but you'd think a spoof of a 102 minute film would be worth at least a 30 minute episode.

In Casablanca, Bugs Bunny runs an American bar and only looks out for himself. When he is given secret papers that will help defeat the rule of General Pandemonium. However when Bugs falls for Kitty, the wife of the leader of resistance, things change for him and he finds himself having to put himself on the line.

I have nothing against the updated Loony Tunes cartoons, but I do have something against cartoons that are unfunny, poorly developed and simply weak. Here the idea of a spoof on the film Casablanca sounds like it could be OK but it is a terrible, horrid mess. The plot copies the plot of Casablanca in a very condensed form but does nothing of merit with it. With so many little details to add in, the plot never stops long enough to be funny.

This is made worse by the sheer volume of characters crammed in with nothing to do. Only Tweety's impression of Peter Lorre is funny - but even that had been done better by a Loony Tunes character that used to be Lorre. None of the rest of the characters really work - their voice work is poor at best, horrid at worst. They rush past the screen with so little time that they never make an impression - it's like the film is expecting the recognition of characters to be enough to replace laughs or fun.

With barely a single laugh to it, a plot that is an uninspired mess and characters who don't sound like themselves or act like themselves this cartoon is about a bad a film from Loony Tunes as I have seen. It's not the fact that it is a modern cartoon that bothers me - it's the fact that it is a sh*t cartoon. Avoid this like the plague.

Carrotblanca (1995)

*** (out of 4)

As an actual movie I don't think this Looney Tunes short works that well but as a send-up as CASABLANCA it's right on the mark with an all-star cast playing those famous roles. You've got Bugs in the role played by Bogart, Tweety in the role of Lorre, Yosemite playing Rains, Daffy playing Sam, Kity doing Bergman and Sylvester playing Henreid. The casting is perfect but the story itself is rather weak but I guess this should be expected since the movie is really just trying to play homage to CASABLANCA. Of course, with just a seven-minute running time you can't get every scene in so we're left with the introductions, the first meeting between Bugs and Kity and of course the famous ending, which gets a new twist. The highlight is certainly the first meeting because it's rather funny seeing how close they got it to the original movie. The main reason this film works so well because the casting is just downright perfect and they manage to give all the Looney Tunes characters certain things that perfectly match up with the human counterparts and especially Tweety and Lorre.

It's not brilliant and it's not very funny but you could do worse. It's only about five minutes long, so it's' not as if you're wasting a lifetime.

The plot is a send-up of Casablanca with Bugs Bunny in Bogie's role. I liked Tweety's impersonation of Peter Lorre and the end sequence with the plane (Sylvester impatiently waiting in the plane).

The "film" has a few laughs and it's a good concept -- the animation is poor and characters are all-over-the-place but you could still do a lot worse as far as animation is concerned.

I originally saw the short years ago but recently watched it again on my Casablanca DVD. I'm not sure I'd want to watch it again but, for what it is, it's not too bad.

It's watchable.
