Bunker Hill Bunny

And that's all this cartoon has really got for it. It's highly amusing, Probably some of Sam and Bugs's Best jokes take place in this cartoon, but it's just a little plain and simple with that discarded, and to be honest Is really just bugs and sam fighting over and over again. Maybe I should have watched this in History class!!

There's really not much to expand on this cartoon, just watch the Cartoon for yourself if you haven't seen it.

Bunker Hill Bunny (1950)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

Set during the Revolutionary War, Bugs Bunny must protect his fort from the mean-spirited Sam Von Schamm The Hessian (Yosemite Sam). The two are constantly at battle but poor old Sam always finds a way to be out smarted. This is yet another winning film that takes the Bugs and Sam characters and does wonders with them. The movie contains action from the opening to closing scenes and there are plenty of laughs sprinkled in as well. I'm not sure what it is but there's just something special about seeing poor Sam constantly getting blown up. The toughness that his character talks just seems all the more funny because he's never tough enough to win. The scene with the gunpowder in Sam's pants is a classic.

Yosemite Sam battles it out with Bugs Bunny in the little known "Battle of Bagel Heights" in the American War of Independence. I've seen this one on TV so often growing up that I could quote the whole thing word for word by the time I was nine. My head tells me there are way better Looney Tunes shorts out there, but my heart tells me that this is one of the most fun. My heart wins out for the most part and this short never fails to bring a smile upon my face no matter what mood that I'm in. This animated short can be found on disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1.

My Grade: A

(*Bugs Bunny/Yosemite Sam quote*) - "CHARGE!!!"

The year is 1776 and Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam (as Sam Von Schamm) are battling it out from separate camps on Bagle Heights.

As you can well-imagine (among all of the bombing and blasting) some really outrageously comical situations take place between these 2 opposing camps.

"Bunker Hill Bunny" has quite an old-fashioned appeal about it. It is one of the slightly older Looney Tunes cartoons and it is vaguely set in 1776. The jokes are usual for a YS and BB short, but there is the occasional witty speaking or slapstick joke.

Basically, Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam are two separate sides of the "Bagel" battle and they have their own forts and their own cannons and guns within their forts. Bugs Bunny, of course, fights against Yosemite Sam and the consequences are not overly surprising, but nevertheless pretty amusing to watch.

This cartoon moved along a little slowly, which may put off certain viewers. Bugs Bunny was particularly good in this episode (usually he is anyway when paired with Yosemite Sam - sometimes he is not). Also, the balance between the slapstick and speaking jokes is surprisingly similar. I might not watch it again, but it was good for a single viewing.

I recommend this to people who like traditional Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes and to people who like a good balance of slapstick and speaking jokes. Enjoy "Bunker Hill Bunny"! :-)
