Lack of good storyline.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

To summarise, this short is creepy and fun, and incidentally my personal favourite of the cartoons starring Witch Hazel. The animation here is stunning, and the story is top notch too. Bugs is still great, but it is Hazel who steals the show, her voice, her laugh, her mannerisms are all enough to make her truly memorable. The script is fine, but the sight gags are better I think, with a wonderful(and hilarious) ending. Also the part when Bugs tears up causing Hazel to cry as well almost made me do so too, Bugs's expression was so cute. Mel Blanc excels as always as Bugs, but June Foray steals the show with a bravura vocal performance as Witch Hazel. Overall, really fun to watch. 10/10 Bethany Cox

From its first minute, this episode might seem a little bit too cliché and a little bit too boring, yet this episode proves to be a very memorable, entertaining one. This episode has fantastic animation, quotes, laughs and plot turns. It also has an ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS witch!Bugs Bunny is trick-or-treating and he happens to arrive in the house of a REAL witch. She invites Bugs Bunny in for tea - thinking that he is actually a witch. The tables begin to turn...This may not be the most rip-roaring Bugs Bunny episode, in fact some might go even so far as to say it is "dead boring". However, if you look past the slightly slow plot, you will see that this is an episode well worth watching! :-)This includes one of my favourite Looney Tunes quotes:Bugs Bunny: (Having just met the witch) She isn't pretty now, but she was someone's baby once.I recommend this cartoon to anyone who likes Bugs Bunny and for anyone who likes funny Halloween things. Enjoy! :-)

This is a great cartoon for Halloween and I love it and I'm really (and I mean really) into witches.I like it when Bugs gave Witch Hazel the "puppy-eyes," and when he hands her a cup of tea to cheer Hazel up (which is really a beauty potion) and she turns a beautiful woman. Did you all know that Witch Hazel's voice actress June Foray was the model for "beautiful" Witch Hazel? I had heard it on the audio commentary for this cartoon on the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume #2" DVD box-set.I also would like to point out that there is another Witch Hazel in the 1952 Donald Duck cartoon "Trick or Treat."

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Broomstick Bunny starts as a chase short set on Halloween with a clever angle; Witch Hazel, who abhors being beautiful, is shocked when another witch (Bugs Bunny trick-or-treating) appears who is even more hideous than her. Hazel tries to feed the witch tea drugged with beautifying potions, but Bugs has to take off his mask first - which causes Hazel to remember a key ingredient in the potion she is mixing.But Chuck Jones makes this short immortal with a stunning turn of events. Hazel is about to chop Bugs' head off, but we are suddenly treated to a totally unexpected reaction - genuine tears of fright by Bugs. Hazel, seeing the humanity in Bugs' tears, suddenly can't go through with it, as Bugs suddenly reminds her of her beloved pet who is no longer with her.The comedic punchline then comes when Bugs gives Hazel tea to calm her down - both forgetting it is the beautifying tea that leads to a hilarious aerial chase and Bugs' bemused warning to air-raid HQ.
