This film opens well, with a knowing star expose of Bugs in his `real life ` personae as film star, having been in so many cartoons. We take the chance to hear his life story, although in reality this only serves to set up a scene between Bugs and a big rough East Side bulldog. The action is typical for Bugs cartoons and is pretty enjoyable, the film never really makes great use of it being in New York only really using general buildings as opposed to landmarks but this isn't a real problem.
Bugs is his usual self and is funny for it. The bulldog is not one of his strongest foils but is a strong character and works well with Bugs to create funny scenes throughout the film. The film has plenty of nice jokes; including one about dogs and `A tree grows in Brooklyn' which I've seen before in a Pepe Le Phew film!
Overall an enjoyable short that Bugs fans will like as it delivers all that we love him for!

Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"That's thirty for today" references an old expression meaning the end of a story. 19th century telegraph operators used "XXX" as an end-of-message flag to confirm that the message did not get cut off in the middle. Roman numerals XXX equal 30, so "30" came to be slang for the end of a story and, later on, the end of anything, including a speech, a work shift or even life.
- GoofsBefore meeting the gang of dogs, Bugs passes the same door (with the 'ice' note) and the box labeled 'ice' several times.
- Quotes
Bugs Bunny: Eh, what's up, dogs?
Dog #1: What is it?
Dog #2: Hey, maybe it's a giraffe, the giraffe!
Spike: Nah, that ain't no giraffe. A giraffe's got a long neck like this
[Pulls on Bugs' neck]
Spike: Hey, fellows, it's a rabbit.
Dog #1: Oh, a rabbit.
Spike: Dog pile on the rabbit!
Dogs: [as they all jump on top of Bugs] Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit!...
Bugs Bunny: [Hopping on top of the dog pile] Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit!
