Bugs Bunny y los Tres Osos

I have a very hard understanding why this cartoon short only has an IMDb score of 7.1, as it's an amazingly funny cartoon--one of the best Bugs Bunny appearances you can find. In this installment, Bugs' foes are the Three Bears--and these hilarious (and totally politically incorrect) characters are wonderful. Junyer Bear is a complete idiot and Papa Bear is a very short-tempered and ill-tempered father who spends most of the cartoon slapping his son around and trying to catch the bunny. Sure, child abuse isn't really funny--but here is is. I especially loved when the bears were recreating the Goldilocks story and Junyer kept saying "Duh....who's been sleeping in my porridge"--at which point, Papa goes ballistic. As for Momma Bear, she says and does very little...until Bugs woos her! All in all, a very funny and creative short. Well-animated and just plain fun.

This is one of my favorites. Every Character is absolutely hilarious. The Baby Bear being huge while the father is half his size is pure genius. Every time (and I am not promoting child abuse here) he Papa bear whacks Junyer I laugh out loud. Bea Benaderet is great as the ma bear. Stan Freberg was just as funny as Junyer.

I started re-watching this for the first time in a long time, and realized about 30 seconds in how unique this short is. I had to rewind it 2 minutes in and time the first shot - EIGHTY SECONDS. The first three shots are almost 4 full minutes long. In all, there are only 10 shots in this entire cartoon - brilliantly paced, inspirational for anyone who wants to learn how to better tell a story.

Bugs Bunny is one of animation's funniest, most interesting and most iconic characters, and while their series of cartoons was short-lived The Three Bears were every bit as entertaining and their cartoons are very good to great.

While not one of the best of The Three Bears cartoons, 'Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears' having a still-finding-its-feet feel, 'Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears' is a very good and funny start.

The Three Bears are incredibly well realised on the whole, with very distinct and interesting personalities but Mama Bear is a little bland and has the least funny material of the three of them. While much of the animation quality is fine, there are cartoons out there that contain more energy in the movement and the bears are a bit scrappy and less refined in look, especially Mama Bear.

However, as said much of the animation is fine. It is bright, colourful and vibrant, the background art is filled with rich detail and Bugs is very well drawn. Carl Stalling's music is outstanding as always, the orchestration is lush and lively, the rhythms are high in energy and it just adds so much to what's going on on top of fitting brilliantly.

'Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears' is very funny, often hilarious stuff, with the dialogue of Papa Bear and Junyor evoking some very hearty chuckles and the gags being just as witty and fresh, like with Bugs tricking Junyor into giving him the ketchup bottle. Bugs is typically likable and smart, and shares great chemistry with the bears, but Papa Bear and especially Junyor steal the show from under him with both bringing so much personality to the cartoon.

Mel Blanc, Bea Benaderet and Kent Rogers do very good jobs with the voices, though there is a preference to Billy Bletcher over Blanc as Papa Bear (though Blanc is excellent as the character, but he doesn't own the role like Bletcher did) and Stan Freberg over Rogers. The story is not surprising, but is a very clever twist on the famous story and is always paced in a way that ensures that there is not a dull moment.

In conclusion, a good start to The Three Bears series but better followed. 8/10 Bethany Cox

There are Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear. The bears are hungry and they make porridge. It is too hot. They take a walk to let it cool off. It turns out to be a trick as they hide under the stairs. Bugs Bunny gets lured in by the smell of the food.

This is Bugs Bunny doing Bugs Bunny things... at first. It is interesting that the Bears are laying a trap for him. It is a different path than the traditional Goldilocks story. I like it. The middle is what I expect from Bugs as he gets the upper hand against the Bears. The ending is less like Bugs and it feels a bit off. I like the more standard story where Bugs wins.
