Baby Buggy Bunny

35 year old harden criminal Baby-faced Finster robs a bank despite looking like a baby. He puts the money in his stroller, but it rolls into Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole. Finster pretends to be an abandoned baby to get into Bugses' home. Bugs takes in the baby and has to battle the surprising guest.

This is another classic for Bugs Bunny. Finster is a great character. I love the look as both a baby and as a hairy criminal. I love it when he is rocking the high chair to get closer to his money. Bugs is simply working at his top gear. This is one of the best of the golden age of Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Ilove this cartoon, but the last time I saw it on BOOMERANG, the part where Baby Faced Finster pulls out a gun at Bugs was edited out. It says that Finster is going to shoot Bugs with his toy gun. BLAM! And Bugs, after Finster shoots him with his "toy gun," says, "Some toy!" I wonder why this was edited out, just like Daffy Duck's final act in 1957's "Show Biz Bunny?" Or where Bugs and Yosemite Sam put the gun to their heads when both of them lose the mayoral race in another cartoon, and Yosemite Sam comments, "I HATE that rabbit!" My sister claims that these scenes were too violent for kids. And I was told that these cartoons were not really made for kids, and yet I've seen them on kiddie shows in the 1960's and 1970's. I guess that BOOMERANG and Warner Brothers claim that kids will imitate these things. But I never did, and here I am, at 46, and I still enjoy watching them, and I never did these things when I was a little kid.

This was a pretty hilarious Bugs Bunny short, The premise is very creative and unique and there's a lot of funny gags and jokes here, and the baby criminal character is very funny, I'm kinda sad there isn't more Looney Tunes shorts with him, and when Bugs realize that the "baby" isn't actually a baby, It gets funnier, Love this one a lot.

This is one of my all-time favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons, if not cartoons period. BABY BUGGY BUNNY opens with a bank being robbed by a tall man in a long coat and snap-brim hat. As he's making his getaway, he reveals that he is actually "Anthill" Harry, a midget(dwarf, little person, whatever the short are calling themselves these days) who disguises himself as a baby to make his escape. He fools the police, but his loot ends up falling down the whole of Bugs. Harry gets into a bastinette and puts a note on himself saying that he is a baby named "Finster" and that Bugs should take him in and give him a good home. As anyone who knows me can attest, I always refer to little babies as "Finster" (especially bad ones). NOW you know where I got it from. Anyway, the bulk of the cartoon consists of "Finster" trying to get to the money (that "Daddy" Bugs has warned him not to play with because it's dirty). BABY BUGGY BUNNY is fun because, at least for a little while, it shows Bugs on the receiving end of torture for once before becoming the wise-ass Bugs that we all know and love when he learns the truth about "Finster". The fate of "Baby-faced Finster" is sure to bring a smile, if not an outright laugh, to anyone who watches it. And you DEFINITELY should be one to do that.

Finster, a bank robbing midget, masquerades as a baby to alludes the cops. Bugs Bunny finds said fake baby when Finster shows up in his rabbit hole. At first Bugs is suitably duped regardless of the violent streak of this 'baby', but he soon catches on and he pays Finster's aggressions back in spades. This cartoon is not among the best of Bugs Bunny's shorts, but it is nice enough to watch on occasion. And it's STILL head and shoulders above ANY Bunny cartoon that Robert McKimson ever directed. This animated short can be seen on Disc 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2. It also features an optional music and effects only track.
