Bugsy and Mugsy

Another hilarious Bugs Bunny cartoon, where we find him up against Rocky and Mugsy. The gags were not very original and I think they've been used in several other Warner Bros. shorts but that doesn't mean they weren't funny. Mel Blanc really shows of his voice talents in this one.

Compared to the first cartoon with Rocky, Mugsy and Bugs Bunny, this is pretty mediocre. The first one was my favourite Bugs Bunny episode, it had clever jokes, clever lines, a good plot and good animation - even the little bit of farce in it was good. However, this cartoon, there is too much farce, the plot is boring and repetitive (Bugs constantly trying to trick Rocky into thinking that Mugsy is trying to injure him) and there are only a few good lines and very few clever jokes.

In this episode, Bugs Bunny has moved from his burrow to a nice, comfortable basement in an empty house - when suddenly, two gangsters arrive back home, bank robbers. When Bugs Bunny realizes what they are up to, he plans to put a stop to the robbers' robbing...

I recommend this episode to anyone who is very new to Looney Tunes, to anyone who likes farce and to anyone who likes Bugs Bunny being meaner than usual. Otherwise you may not enjoy this, but I guess it is worth a go for the average Looney Tunes fan. Enjoy "Bugsy and Mugsy"! :-)

6 and a half out of ten.

"Bugsy and Mugsy" is another classic memorable cartoon short from looney tunes a 1957 entry that involved Bugs dealing with two lawbreakers. Rocky and Mugsy are on the run to an old empty building where Bugs just happens to be and Bugs puts both on edge having them to sweat in fear of cops only his gags and clever tricks make the two see that crime does not pay! Overall classic cartoon that's highly memorable.

This is the second Looney Tune with Rocky and Mugsy.

And again it has Bugs Bunny in it, like the previous one "Bugs and Thugs".

Rocky and Mugsy hide themselves in an old abandon apartment building which Bugs so happens to already be living in(under the floor surface that is) He finds out his guests are criminals, so he kept himself hidden from them and plot some traps and making Rocky think Mugsy is going to kill him.

This time it has more gags and more traps than before.

Another fine Rocky and Mugsy Looney Tune to check out.

Disappointing Bugs short directed by Friz Freleng. This features the return of Rocky and Mugsy, last seen in Bugs and Thugs three years earlier. In this one, the duo have just robbed a jewelry store and need a place to hide out. They pick a seemingly abandoned building but it just so happens Bugs has already moved in. Bugs apparently doesn't like crooks so he decides to mess with the pair. It's an OK cartoon but not as much fun as Bugs and Thugs. The animation is not as good with muted colors that often "go outside the lines." That's intentional, I guess, as some kind of stylistic choice but it looks sloppy to me, especially on the already sketchy drawings. Mel Blanc's voices for Rocky and Mugsy seem 'off' and the script is overly verbose. Whenever Bugs has to narrate the action in one of his cartoons, the results are usually bad. The music is decent but the sound effects seem too loud. It's not a terrible short but not going to make any "best of" lists anytime soon.
