Act III, “The Oswald Awards” finds the gang at an awards show created just for them to see who is the Best Leading Actor. Before Bugs and Daffy duel it out, we get to see “The Three Little Bops,” which is a retelling in jazz bop of the story of The Three Little Pigs. Not too bad even though a bit too corny with its bop crazy soundtrack, with Big Bad Wolf vocals provided by Stan Freberg. Also shown is another clip from a Sylvester and Tweety short before Bugs and Daffy continue their classic long-running rivalry, which as always Bugs wins. Damn duck just can’t catch a break.
For being a collection of somewhat edited shorts The Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie isn’t all that bad. A bit long as we’re used to five-minute shorts but no way is it as bad as the last few features put out under the Looney Tunes banner. The DVD also contains three bonus cartoons from some time in the 1990s, which again just don’t have the appeal of the originals. The DVD Feature is a good intro for those unfamiliar with Looney Tunes, if that’s possible. The shorts chosen contain a few clever sight gags (the knights names for instance) but if you can afford it, start or rent the multi-disc Golden Collection series: all original, no cuts and well worth the extra loot.
