Crappy film

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Wow, what a wonderful cartoon. Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny have always been a good pairing and make cartoons hilarious. Friz Freleng really took it home this time with the academy award. Friz actually won four Academy Awards. The funniest part for me was when Yosemite Sam told the dragon not to sneeze and he did and the some castle turned into a rocket and lifted off.

. . . during their Medieval Literature Class, but how about Sir Osis of Liver? Osis is just one of several new wrinkles Warner Bros.' Looney Tune folks iron on to the patchwork of the Arthurian Legends in their KNIGHTY KNIGHT BUGS outing. Death, of course, is the Number One Theme running through the Age of Chivalry. As Queen Guenevere qualifies her prospective escort to the Fair in CAMELOT, she asks "You'll pierce right through him?" to which Sir Sagramore replies, "I'll barbecue him!" Bugs Bunny goes Sagramore one or two better in dispatching Yosemite Sam's "Black Knight" here. First, Bugs pounds and drowns Sam. Then he flattens and folds him. Next Yosemite is stalled and walled. Finally, Bugs acts as judge, jury, and executioner, blasting Sam out of the docket via turret rocket. Since there's no screeching plus-sized ladies around to signify the conclusion of KNIGHTY KNIGHT BUGS, the Looney Tunes animators substitute a warbling broadsword for this final obligatory part of their take on the Dudes of the Round Table.

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.

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.
