People are voting emotionally.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

As a young adult buff of the Warner cartoons, I felt that this was #5 on my personal list of Freleng's greatest Bugs films….that was a couple of years before I saw more of the greatest pre-1948 cartoons when I re-subscribed to cable. Man. There were biggies like "Stage Door Cartoon," "Bugs Bunny Rides Again," and "Slick Hare"—prompting me to revise somewhat my list of Freleng faves.I've always been befuddled by cartoon buffs' downgrading a short because it uses gags utilized before. If it's a "cheater" film, that's a different matter. But nearly all the animation here's genuinely new, including Gerry Chiniquy's exemplary execution of Bugs's and Daffy's dances. Also, I for one never penalized, say, Benny Hill for using the same dozen or so gags multiple times: he always makes me feel I'm experiencing it and laughing at it for the first time because he always puts some new wrinkle in.Similary, then, I don't penalize Freleng for borrowing wholesale several scenes and jokes from his earlier "Curtain Razor" and "Ballot Box Bunny" because, despite the fact he's aware of that, he now is doing all those gags in DEFINITIVE form."Show Biz Bugs" also benefits from the work of new backgrounds man Boris Gorelick. He was at Warner's for only a year, and contributed to the success of some of Freleng's finest (this one, and " Birds Anonymous"). The signature part of Gorelick's style was his use of portions of art apparently crayoned or charcoaled over sandpaper (or maybe a miniature pebble garden). Gorelick apparently crumbled early on, over Freleng's frequent and legendary temper tantrums.

Another instance of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck getting on each other's nerves, this time as they perform on stage and Bugs gets all the applause while Daffy gets none. As always, Daffy tries to undermine Bugs's integrity, but always gets his just desserts, most notably with the xylophone gag (these cartoons sure had a way with dynamite).I noticed that some of the tricks in "Show Biz Bugs" were yanked out of the Porky Pig vehicle "Curtain Razor", namely the end. But even so, it's always a treat to see what happens to Daffy when he tries to harm Bugs, sort of like what happens to Wile E. Coyote when he tries to get Road Runner. Another classic.

This cartoon shows that Friz Freling was ahead of his time - a recycler before anybody know the word. Nearly every gag in this cartoon is recycled from other cartoons, such as Ballot Box Bunny (the bomb gag). Freling was seldom an innovator, though he was competent. I've never been able to tell whether his tendency to re-use gags in cartoons was economy or laziness. The tendency outlived his time at Warner's, with material returning even in his DePatie-Freling days. That feeling of deja vu you might have gotten watching a Pink Panther cartoon was very real. He also never seemed to have gotten himself out of the 1920's, but when this cartoon was made, he could still expect some of the audience to have actually seen a vaudeville-type show.

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are a dancing double act in a vaudeville theatre. However Daffy is not content for equal billing and wants to have all the glory for himself. He challenges Bugs that whatever he can do, Daffy can do better. Bugs does his stuff on stage to great acclaim from the audience, but everything Daffy tries is greeted with all the appreciate of a f*rt in a lift. As the stakes continue to rise, Daffy increasingly pulls out all the stops.I love Daffy Duck a great deal but much prefer him when he is in full-on wacky mode rather than the more greedy duck of his later cartoons. In this short we see Daffy being his greedy self but him being pushed to crazy limits reminds me of whom he once was. The material is not that good when I think about it and some of the gags are a little under whelming but it still manages to be pretty amusing. The ending is OK but it has been done elsewhere to better effect with Porky Pig and a wolf.What makes this short work past the average material is the characters. Bugs' delivery is pretty fun although he isn't really his usual tricky self - all he's doing is being a good dancer. Daffy is also good and it is his jealous rage that makes the material much better than it should be. His big finish is not as good as he deserved but up till that point he is funny even if he is not the Daffy that I prefer.Overall this is enjoyable enough but that's it. The material is average enough and is pretty thin but thankfully the two famous characters both do good work to make it better than it really is.
