Wonderful character development!

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This was a very, very edgy cartoon that should have been more widely seen that it was. Apparently, shortly after it was made, some kill-joys at Time-Warner decided it was too edgy and harmed the bland reputation they've created for their characters in recent years. Yet back in the early 90s, somehow, the writers and animators at Warner Brothers were given a lot of leeway to create a modern version of Bugs Bunny. It begins with a sappy '51st and 1/2 birthday' celebration, but the cartoon then became a parody of the 'making of,...." video where the cartoon characters let down their hair (hare) and you see who they REALLY are! This was a great idea and I loved seeing the characters acting edgy and funny instead of the insipid SPACE JAM-type Warner cartoon characters. For very little kids, this cartoon isn't too appropriate, but for older kids and teens, they'll probably think it's great when they bleep out comments made by jealous Daffy Duck!! About the only thing that doesn't work is the section where they show fake take after take of the same dancing number--it really got repetitive and a bit annoying! But, this cartoon is a great way to both celebrate the past and keep the edginess that made Bugs, Daffy and the rest popular.

While not without it's flaws, this short is still one of the most entertaining Looney Tunes shorts in recent years. I've resigned myself to the fact that the golden age of Looney Tunes is long in the past and it'll never get as good as it was back then again in the future. But I still enjoyed this cartoon that plays out like a blooper reel taking place on Bugs Bunny's fifty first and a half birthday special. Even if the Looney Tune's gang acted a tad off-kilter. This cartoon can be found as an extra on disk 1 of the 'Looney Tunes Golden Collection' and has optional commentary.My Grade: C+

This has got to be one of the best Bugs Bunny shorts to come out in the last few years. Everyone knows that the funniest part of any movie is the bloopers, and Warner Bros. brings it out all the way with this "gag reel" of Bugs, Daffy, Elmer and Yosemite Sam messing up their lines and cues while filming a tribute to Bugs Bunny's 51 & 1/2 birthday. It's only further proof that humor is all about timing, and the best stuff comes out when you don't expect it.

At last, Bugs Bunny tackles the tired "blooper reel" scenario that has been driven into the ground. Based around filming a "51 1/2 Birthday Special", it actually proves what many have thought but few dared say--that Daffy Duck may be the funniest fictional creation in American art/cultural history.
