Bunker Hill Bunny

And that's all this cartoon has really got for it. It's highly amusing, Probably some of Sam and Bugs's Best jokes take place in this cartoon, but it's just a little plain and simple with that discarded, and to be honest Is really just bugs and sam fighting over and over again. Maybe I should have watched this in History class!!

There's really not much to expand on this cartoon, just watch the Cartoon for yourself if you haven't seen it.

Yosemite Sam battles it out with Bugs Bunny in the little known "Battle of Bagel Heights" in the American War of Independence. I've seen this one on TV so often growing up that I could quote the whole thing word for word by the time I was nine. My head tells me there are way better Looney Tunes shorts out there, but my heart tells me that this is one of the most fun. My heart wins out for the most part and this short never fails to bring a smile upon my face no matter what mood that I'm in. This animated short can be found on disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1.

My Grade: A

Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam are at it again! This time, it's the Revolutionary War at the Battle of Bagel Heights. The rabbit and the ornery short guy are the only people at their respective forts and neither wants to give up their base of operations. As they keep charging into each other's forts, flags saying "We" with a carrot (Bugs', of course) and "They" (Sam's) change places inside each. They also charge cannon balls at each other with the rabbit always catching his inside the cannon and Sam doing the same until Bugs plugs a cork on Sam's cannon. Wanna guess what happens when Sam pulls the cork from his? I'll stop here and say this was another funny cartoon short from Friz Freling. And remember, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

It's 1776 and the Revolutionary War is on. No, it's not "Bunker Hill," as the graphic first shows. It's not "Yorktown," it's the "Battle of Bagle Heights." (Okaaay.)

Anyway, the "battle" is strictly between two contestants, the only ones at each fort. Yosemite Sam, known in this picture as "Sam Von Schmamm, the Hussion," battles Bugs Bunny.

Most of the cartoon features the two adversaries firing cannons at one another or charging each other with bayonets. Needless to say, ole Sam takes the worst of it on each occasion. Although it's strictly a one-joke cartoon, I enjoyed it. I laughed at some of the old-time clichés and expressions Sam used while yelling at Bugs, such as: "You ornery, fur-bearing rebel! You'll pay for this! You better say your prayers, you flea-bitten varmit!"

Bugs has only one reply: "Ah, your mother blows bubble gum!"

(*Bugs Bunny/Yosemite Sam quote*) - "CHARGE!!!"

The year is 1776 and Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam (as Sam Von Schamm) are battling it out from separate camps on Bagle Heights.

As you can well-imagine (among all of the bombing and blasting) some really outrageously comical situations take place between these 2 opposing camps.
