Bugs Bunny? Daffy Duck? Elmer Fudd? Already three ingredients for a good(at least) cartoon. But for some as much as I love these three characters Person to Bunny seemed lacking. It does have a number of good things about it. Apart from some colours that were a little too bright, the animation does look lovely, it's fluid and all the characters are well drawn. The music has the right amount of energy and jaunty orchestration, while the dialogue has its funny moments like Elmer's IQ getting insulted and Bugs trying to shout over Daffy's gibbering(though I do think there have been much wittier endings before) and there are some decent sight gags with Daffy getting the worst of it. Bugs is still sharp-witted, smart, arrogant and likable, and when Bugs insults him you can't help feeling sympathy for Elmer. Mel Blanc's vocals are full of zest, Arthur Q.Bryan in his last cartoon before his sudden death is also perfect and Daws Butler, while not having dialogue much of note, is nicely understated. Against all this, I don't think Person to Bunny was very balanced. I realise it was a spoof, but while there were some funny moments in the interplay between the three leads the interview parts seemed half-baked and failed to make much of an impact. A great idea that could have been explored better. I was disappointed in Daffy also. Daffy at his best is every bit as smart as Bugs, but here he is very dumbed down and even stupider than Elmer. Some of the pacing sags as well, not badly but it lacks that extra-crisp and witty sort of pacing that the best of Looney Tunes had. Overall, quite good, and a lot better than what was to come later with the Speedy and some of the Roadrunner vs. Coyote cartoons, but there are better around. 7/10 Bethany Cox
