Bully for Bugs Trailers

Bugs Bunny once again making that "wrong turn at Albuquerque" burrows into a bullring, where a magnificent bull is making short work of a toreador. The bull bucks Bugs out of the arena, prompting the bunny to declare "Of course you realize, this means war!" The deft Bugs' arsenal comes plenty packed, as he uses anvils, well-placed face slaps and the bull's horns as a slingshot. The bull fights back, using his horns as a shotgun barrel. The bull's comeback is short-lived; just after Bugs makes out his will, he lures the bull out of the arena, just in time to set up a rube-like device that leads to the bull's defeat.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One day, while digging through the ground, Bugs Bunny accidentally winds up in the middle of a bullfight. When the matador flees, Bugs has to take his place. At first, the bull has the upper hand (or is that "the upper hoof"?), but then, Bugs unloads a series of tricks: an anvil, a rifle (which the bull swallows), and finally, the most elaborate trap imaginable.One thing that you can say about everyone's favorite rabbit, he was as indomitable as his creators. His best line in this cartoon is: "Okay. Whenever you can spare time, toro." No matter how you look at it, "Bully for Bugs" is a most formidable classic.

Bugs Bunny takes a wrong turn and ends up fighting a cocky bull. The kind of cartoon that Bugs Bunny is famous for as he seeks clever revenge on a vile opponent. The musical slapping gag where Bugs slaps the bull to the music is classic as is when the bull swallows a gun and starts shooting bullets out of it's horns by slamming it's tail on the ground. It is a lot more interesting to see Bugs tackle an opponent that is much larger then him. We know the bull doesn't stand a chance, but we love giving Bugs a challenge to test his strength. The music, animation, and voice work are commendable as usual. Bugs looks quite good in his matador outfit as well.*Bugs Bunny: Stop steaming up my tail! What do you want to do? Wrinkle it!*

I could watch this one a hundred times over and still laugh myself to tears. It is incredibly funny, perfectly timed and just when you expect it to become formulaic, the Jones crew start to throw in some comical curveballs (which I refuse to spoil here) My personal favorite Bugs Bunny short and one of the jewels of the WB catalog.

This is one of my all-time favourite Bugs Bunny cartoons -- it contains everything that sets the classic Warners animation stuff apart from the stuff that's mass produced today. I especially love the way that the fortunes of Bugs and the bull waver back and forth; I also love the synchronization with the "La Cucaracha" music (see also "Rabbit of Seville (1950)") and the elaborate contraption that Bugs builds.If you're trying to show someone a classic WB cartoon, this is a great one to start with.
