Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Best movie ever!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Having recently gotten the first Looney Tunes Golden Collection from my library, I went through all the extras first (except the "music only" shorts). Then I started watching the cartoons in order of appearance. Baseball Bugs is the first one listed on disc one. This Friz Freling effort from a Michael Maltese story piles on all the gags that one always associate with the Warner Bros. cartoons, like the one when Bugs, as the lone pitcher of a baseball team, manages to strike out three members of the opposing team by throwing the ball reeeeaaaaallll slow as all three swing their bat real quickly with the announcer saying at that speed, "One, two, three, out!" Or the one when Bugs distracts one of them by showing a picture of a sexy girl to keep him from catching the ball. Or how about a bat boy with bat wings giving the rabbit a couple of bats. There's plenty more but I don't want to spoil the whole thing for you so all I'll say is: Just watch.

Belligerent baseball team Gashouse Gorillas are truly a mean bunch. And they have no trouble making 96 points while the other team still has nothing. That is, until Bugs Bunny as the opposing team is playing every position. Then, it's really time to play ball! You'll never forget the final sequence."Baseball Bugs" was one of the many classic Looney Tunes cartoons on which Mel Blanc and that whole crowd collaborated. Seeing how great this cartoon is (no to mention how great the other classic Looney Tunes cartoons were), I gotta wonder what it must have been like actually creating the cartoons. They must have really had fun!

In most Bugs Bunny cartoons, he is pitted against a foe, usually human, while formidable in their own way, are obviously not in his league when it comes to brains. In this particular one, directed by Friz Freleng, he is up against a whole team of them. Bugs calls the Gas House Gorillas "a bunch of dirty cheaters". They then challenge him to a game of baseball where Bugs has to play every position, plus having to catch up where the Tea Totalers left off, behind 96-0 or something close to this score. Many of the jokes aren't up to writer Michael Maltese's usual standards, but anyone who has ever watched this cartoon will never forget the ending sequence where Bugs has to catch the last out of the game to win it.

In 'Baseball Bugs' we see Bugs Bunny playing baseball. He alone is one team and he is playing a team called the Gashouse Gorillas. It is a little too much of the same at the beginning but the very funny second part makes up for that. The Looney Tunes short are almost always funny and this one didn't disappoint me.
