When Bugs Bunny discovers that a 100 screen cinema has been build on top of his rabbit hole, he pops up to watch a film. However usher Elmer Fudd notices that he didn't buy a ticket and tries to eject him. A chase kicks off that is only disturbed when Daffy Duck, sneaking in himself, gets involved.
When I saw this was a modern version of the old cartoons I braced myself to be assaulted by some very poor stuff, however I was pleased to find that, on the whole, this was quite enjoyable. The plot basically allows for one chase sequence where Bugs attempts to outwit Elmer in the good old style that he does. The addition of Daffy Duck was OK but totally unnecessary in my opinion and I spent most of the cartoon wondering why he had been added other than just getting another character in there.
The gags are OK but there are few moments where the film becomes very modern that just don't work. Specifically there is an awful `scratch' moment where the three dance to the scratching music, but more generally I was a little put off by the look and actions of the modern Bugs - he didn't totally fit with the 50's character I love.
Despite this it is still a good cartoon. It is unfair to compare it with the classics but it is impossible not to do so. If you gave me the choice between this modern cartoon and a good old one, I would always plump for the old one, but as it is, this is quite funny and enjoyable to watch.

The Looney Tunes have existed for over fifty years and somewhere along the line, they lost the thing that made them so special and became, at best, tiresome. Box Office Bunny changed that. It was a return to what made Looney Tunes so great and put Bugs Bunny back in his element. Very good and highly recommended.
Don't get me wrong this was fun to watch. It has some nice animation with exception of an odd looking Bugs, and some nice music. And the standout scene was definitely Elmer, Bugs and Daffy's dance on the floor, that was such a nice and fun touch. As a matter of fact, the whole cartoon is nice to watch, but all in all it is not what I call exceptional like Carrotblanca. There are some very nice gags, but they have been used before I feel, and there wasn't much that I would deem hilarious. And Daffy joining forces with Elmer? Somehow seeing as he was a target of the hunter, didn't it seem odd that he would be friends with him. Though I will admit it was nice having Daffy there. The voice acting was above average too, but somehow I missed Mel Blanc.
All in all, unexceptional but very nice cartoon. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Though this is a good, enjoyable cartoon, they did much better ones later on, like Carrotblanca. This is almost like the first Star Trek feature, which would have been welcomed with open arms and glee no matter what, just for existing. This is really a patchwork of old bits with some nice touches, but nothing special. Reminds me a bit of the hunting trilogy in spots and the ending is priceless. Available and certainly well worth watching just for the novelty and the good bits. Recommended.
Since I've been a big fan of Bugs Bunny having the voice of Mr. Jeff Bergman, I've wanted to see the full cartoon since July, 2024(?) I saw this on HBO Max in September that year and to hear Bergman voice Bugs, Elmer AND Daffy was a heck of a lifetime. He is still one of Mel Blanc's great successors and the fact that he is still getting so much recognition is even better. I don't hate Eric Bauza, Joe Alaskey or Billy West as Bugs; Jeff Bergman is my favorite Bugs Bunny voice actor post-Mel Blanc in my opinion. So we should to take this and every moment to celebrate the start of the legacy of Jeff Bergman and the legacy of the late Mel Blanc.

Daffy Duck: Seven bucks for a movie! The price for an evening of puerile entertainment is preposterous! I could better spend an evening in the library, which is why I always carry this.
- Crazy creditsAt the end, when the usual "That's All Folks" clip is on, Daffy and Elmer burst out through the logo, still screaming after being chased by the guy with the chainsaw. Bugs pops out and says, "And that's all, Folks!"
