Very Cool!!!

The greatest movie ever!

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Directed by the wonderful Isadore "Friz" Freleng, "Knighty Knight Bugs" is an Academy Award-winning Bugs Bunny/Yosemite Sam cartoon set in medieval times. King Arthur orders his court jester (Bugs) to retrieve the so-called "singing sword" from the clutches of the Black Knight (Sam). The Black Knight has an explosive temper, but he ain't no match for Bugs! There is one sequence from "Knighty Knight Bugs" that I find especially amusing. Sam rides atop his fire-sneezing dragon in pursuit of Bugs. The dragon makes a sudden stop at a moat crossing, causing Sam to bump forward on all the dragon's scales and fall into the water. Dashing back to the crossing, Sam orders Bugs to lower the drawbridge, which he does.........right on top of Sam! I must compliment the fine vocal talent of Mel Blanc in "Knighty Knight Bugs", not only for the voices of Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam but also for those of King Arthur and his various noble knights. The music score of Milt Franklyn is quite commendable, too, particularly during the opening credits and the chase scenes.

I agree with the reviewers here: this was good, but "the only Bugs Bunny cartoon to win an Academy Award?" That is ridiculous. I can only surmise that it was similar to what has happened to many famous actors. They had never won an Academy Award so near the end of their careers, the Academy gives them them on Oscar to make up for past omissions. Here, "Bugs" gets rewarded for years of service, in reality. By the end of the 1950s, Bugs' great career wasn't far from being over.This is a funny, beautifully drawn cartoon worthy of praise; it's just not exceptional. In a nutshell, court jester Bugs Bunny makes a fool out of the Yosemite Sam a.k.a. The Black Knight, the latter guarding the treasured "singing sword." Bugs has to get past the knight, his dumb dragon - who has a cold and a sneezing problem! - to get the sword and return it to the good guys.Some of the jokes are inventive, some are old, but the story entertains all the way. It's also 30 seconds shorter than most LT Bugs Bunny episodes. Overall, it's still a solid effort.

We all know King Arthur, but what if Bugs Bunny was his court jester? Quite simply, the king - disappointed at his knights chickening out (in more way than one) - would send Bugs to fetch the Singing Sword kept by the Black Knight, aka Yosemite Sam. And that's just what happens in "Knighty Knight Bugs". Specifically, when Bugs finds the Singing Sword, it literally starts singing, and Sam comes after him with his pet dragon. But Bugs tricks them and takes over the castle, leading Sam to pull several embarrassing stunts attempting to re-enter. I really liked Sam's plan to "sail over the wall". All in all, they created another classic cartoon here.

This short is the only Bugs Bunny short to grab an Oscar. While it's a good cartoon, I don't think it was the best cartoon of 1958. It wasn't even the best Bugs Bunny of 1958 (Hare-way To the Stars was). This is a very good cartoon, of course. It's just that there were much better ones released in 1958. Oh, well. At least Bugs got an Oscar, even if it was for something that wasn't among the better of "his" work. The same can be said for some acting winners. Recommended.
