Carrotblanca

This short is welcome and enjoyable for many reasons and on many levels. It's a good spoof of Casablanca, it's as hilarious as the best of the work Warner Brothers did in their heyday and half the fun is in spotting the characters in small roles or as extras (waiters, sitting at tables, etc.), as with The Scarlet Pumpernickel or the glorious Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, which used the same concept. Excellent short of recent vintage which maintains the spirit of the old shorts. Glad to see that it's available. Well worth watching. Most recommended.

Casablanca is one of my favourite films of all time, and when I heard Looney Tunes had done a spoof on it I was enthused. So I gave it a shot, and I really liked it. My only real problem is that the cartoon is too short, consequently the story which is absolutely timeless felt rushed.

I also admit it isn't quite as good as the Looney Tunes cartoons made in the 1940s-1950s with Mel Blanc immortally doing the characterisation. Nevertheless, it is hugely enjoyable, with excellent colourful animation and wonderful music. But the real stars of course were the toons, Tweety's Peter Lorre impression was hilarious and Bugs takes on the Humphrey Bogart role with style. Penelope(named Kitty here) was lovely in the Ilsa role, but the real joys were Pepe LePew and Yosemite Sam. The voice acting is well done, while Joe Alaskey is not quite as good as Mel Blanc he does a great job with the voices of Sylvester and Daffy. Greg Burson is okay as Bugs (he doesn't quite nail it as Blanc did) but is much better as Pepe LePew and Foghorn Leghorn. Maurice LaMarche is superb as Yosemite though, and Bob Bergen is great as Tweety. And while she doesn't say much, Tress MacNeille is nice as Penelope.

All in all, a hugely enjoyable spoof to a classic. Yeah, they changed the ending, but so what? The cartoon is funny, that's all that matters really. 9/10 Bethany Cox

In an inspired decision, this cartoon was included on the new two-disc special edition of Casablance that was released in August 2003. It's worth more than just one look as many of your old favorites - Bugs, Daffy, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn and others - stop by for cameos or larger roles. I thought the best casting was Pepe LePew in the Claude Rains role, though Tweety's Peter Lorre impression is priceless. (These are two characters, incidentally, whom I usually have little use for.) A very worthy successor to the great Warner Bros. cartoons of the 40s and 50s, and a great homage to one of the greatest movies ever made.

The first thing I noticed in this Looney Tunes takeoff on "Casablanca" is the fantastic artwork. Man, this looks beautiful! The second thing quickly apparent is that this cartoon is going to include a ton of Looney Tunes characters, all congregating in the "Cafe Au Lait Americain" establishment in "Carrotblanca."

With Bugs Bunny playing Humphrey Bogart; Daffy Duck as Sam the piano man, Tweety as Peter Lorre, Yosemite Sam as a Nazi general, etc., this is a hoot - really fun to watch. Of course, the more you know the movie Casablanca, the more you'll laugh at this.

However, to be honest, I didn't find it hilarious, just mildly amusing and, of course, clever. With only seven or so minutes to work with, they had to rush the story so the ending is a bit goofy...but, hey, it's a cartoon, and they're supposed to provide us the unexpected!

Bugs Bunny in charge of Rick's café? This spoof of, of course, the 40s film 'Casablanca' sees our carrot-chewing hero as the fortune-hunting, love-sick exile who meets the love of his life again when she walks into his bar.

The strength of this cartoon isn't just in the details - they are a perfect reflection of the original film - but in the casting of well-known WB 'toon characters as the main players in 'Casablanca', for example Tweety Pie as Ugarte (the squeaky-voiced role originally played by Peter Lorre).

Better than 'Rabbit Hood', Bugs's take on 'The Adventures of Robin Hood'. These little shorts are inspired additions to the DVDs of the original films - keep 'em coming.
