Goofs
Elmer's gun disappears when Bugs hits him with a pie in the face.

Quotes
Bugs Bunny: It's no use, I just can't sleep. My delicate inner sense of danger tells me there's something fatally foreboding in the atmosphere. Elmer Fudd was a pale stereotype of his former self. Even paler than the original, if that's possible. And Sam wasn't Sam but an unreasonable facsimile thereof, a not so incredible insinuation. And that duck, sure, it looked like a duck and quacked like a duck.
[the carrot Bugs Bunny accepted from Daffy rolls off a desk onto his floor, cracks open like an egg and out comes an alien rabbit]
Bugs Bunny: [after feeling three light taps on a shoulder] Yeeesss?
Pale Stereotype of Bugs: [brandishing an axe] Eh, what's up doc?
[Bugs then runs away, screaming, then stops long enough to speak to the audience]
Bugs Bunny: You know something, folks? This is the scariest part of the picture.
[resumes running and screaming, the Looney Tunes closing begins, but Bugs Bunny stops it, lifting the film back up]
Bugs Bunny: Wait, hold it! You don't think I would let it end that way, do you?

Crazy credits
As the second and correct Closing Credits are playing over a glowing carrot, from the planet "Noodnik". After the credits, we see a badly drawn clone of Porky Pig coming out of the Looney Tunes/Merry Melody drum hole, starting to say a distorted "Th-th-th-that's all folks!", until Bugs heard it start and says "Oh, no you don't!" Bugs then immediately kicked the counterfeit out of frame and replaces it with the real Porky Pig and then, Porky says, his famous closing line, [stuttering] "Th-th-th-that's all folks!".

Alternate versions
The version included on the two-disc, Special Edition DVD of Space Jam (1996) has all scenes and references to Yosemite Sam edited out.

Yuck

Weak parody of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Call me a stick in the mud but the newer Looney Tunes cartoons stink to high heaven. By "newer," I of course mean those made decades after the originals without the creative genius and talent of the people involved in making those classics. I have yet to see one of these cartoons that made me laugh or feel anything other than a longing for the older shorts. This is made worse here by the regurgitation of gags from the old cartoons. The characters (Bugs, Elmer, Daffy, Yosemite Sam) all feel like impersonations of their former selves. The animation is unimpressive and generic. The voicework from Jeff Bergman is passable but, again, feels like impersonations rather than the real thing. The new music is dreadful.

This is a tired, forgettable short. It lacks the humor, intelligence, and charm of the classic Looney Tunes. I do believe the people who made this were fans of the originals. I want to be positive because of that but I can't. Before you accuse me of not giving any new stuff a chance, let me point out something. At the same time this waste was being produced, Tiny Toon Adventures was on TV. That series was funny and had more in common with what made the classic cartoons work than this lame imitation. This is a boring, lifeless cartoon that spends so much effort on imitation that it misses the point of Looney Tunes entirely.
