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.

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".

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 am a big Looney Tunes fan and have been for goodness knows how long. Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers, while as far as these cartoon spoofs go not as good as Carrotblanca and Duck Dodgers in the 24.5 Century, was very enjoyable and one of the better newer instalments. I did have mixed feelings on some of the animation though, the colours are beautiful and the characters even the intentionally badly-drawn impostors are drawn more than decently, however some of the background art lacks fluidity particularly in the Yosemite Sam segment and this could have been improved by some tighter editing. Also I thought I noticed an inconsistency; Elmer says something like "there's a wabbit down there, and I am trying to put him in wabbit stew" and that struck me as odd because I could have sworn Elmer was a vegetarian. That said, the story is a fun spoof on a classic film as well as having some distinctive lines and gags that you can recognise from the cartoons of the 40s and 50s and a very atmospheric and thrilling climax. Bugs has some wonderful one-liners, while I enjoyed seeing Elmer pointing his gun in Bugs' hole and Bugs and Yosemite crossing each other like they did in the old cartoons while they even manage to bring in the classic "Duck Season" "Rabbit Season" scene from Rabbit Fire here. The characters are great and in general stay true to their personas, Bugs steals the show, but Daffy and Yosemite fare best support wise. If there was one character I missed though considering the subject matter, it would be Marvin the Martian, he is a great character and quite underrated, and I think he would have been right at home if used. Jeff Bergman does a very worthy job considering he had huge shoes to fill voicing all the characters. All in all, fun and one of the better newer instalments. 8/10 Bethany Cox
