Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers

Weak parody of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Call me a stick in the mud but the newer Looney Tunes cartoons stink to high heaven. By "newer," I of course mean those made decades after the originals without the creative genius and talent of the people involved in making those classics. I have yet to see one of these cartoons that made me laugh or feel anything other than a longing for the older shorts. This is made worse here by the regurgitation of gags from the old cartoons. The characters (Bugs, Elmer, Daffy, Yosemite Sam) all feel like impersonations of their former selves. The animation is unimpressive and generic. The voicework from Jeff Bergman is passable but, again, feels like impersonations rather than the real thing. The new music is dreadful.

This is a tired, forgettable short. It lacks the humor, intelligence, and charm of the classic Looney Tunes. I do believe the people who made this were fans of the originals. I want to be positive because of that but I can't. Before you accuse me of not giving any new stuff a chance, let me point out something. At the same time this waste was being produced, Tiny Toon Adventures was on TV. That series was funny and had more in common with what made the classic cartoons work than this lame imitation. This is a boring, lifeless cartoon that spends so much effort on imitation that it misses the point of Looney Tunes entirely.

I agree with you, Prime. This was one of the funniest new Bugs Bunny cartoons. I've seen it on the cartoon network. Bugs tries to get rid of the carrots which are really "badly drawn" Warner Bros. characters, or else he will be the next victim. It's highly recommended.

Oh, I want to compliment Jeff Bergman for filling in the shoes of the late Mel Blanc. I thought he did a great job.

I saw this cartoon on Nickelodeon back in 1996 and for many years thought I'd dreamed it up...before rediscovering it on the Boomerang channel last year. At least now I have it archived on good old VHS tape so I can prove its existence. Not only does this cartoon poke fun at the limited animation popular at the time, but it also pokes fun at *itself* and its Warner Bros predecessors. The fact that the folks at the studio didn't take their formula for success so seriously that they thought it was above parody (ha! Like anything is "above parody"!) is a wonderful breath of fresh air.

This is a unfunny spoof of the far superior 1956 film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". The makers of this short seem to be confused about the difference between violence and hilarity. Sure, senseless violence can be funny, but here it is tedious and serves only as a reminder of how it has been done better so many times before.

"Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers" is not a terrible toon; it just doesn't live up to previous toons and the film it spoofs. For an hilarious spoof, watch "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century".
