In this 1979 video, Granny looks for a toon to play the bunny in her easter production. Bugs and his pals audition for Granny with clips of their classic shows; the easter plot is just an excuse to revisit the same old cartoons. And as in most retrospectives, the older material is much better than the filler: in this case it's funnier, more vibrant, and has vastly superior voice acting and animation. Shamefully, the glorious classics are cut into the newer junk with such butchery their genius is nearly ruined, and my friend and I decided we'd prefer them in their original state.

Why did I give this product one star? Well, because, unfortunately, I couldn't go any lower!!! Seriously, though, I feel completely ripped off by this product.The display page says it contains the cartoon "Easter Yeggs," which is what I was looking to buy. This is a collection of snippets of a few Looney Tunes Cartoons....Easter Yeggs is not even one of them! This is a blatant example of false advertising, which should be illegal. Apparently online this practice is acceptable...for shame! I hope I can prevent others from wasting their money as I did on this waste of tape.

Bugs is framed by the Easter Rabbit to deliver eggs to all the little boys and girls, on his way he bumps into a red headed kid yelling "I wanna easter yegg" and Elmer Fudd dressed as a baby. This is totally a cool bugs classic (Easter Yeggs), this is one of the finest examples of a belly buster cartoon.

Bugs Bunny is not able to play the Easter Rabbit, so other Looney Tunes alumni are asked- like Foghorn, I say, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig, and Pepe LePew (who has one of the best lines: "Moi playing le Easter Bunny would be like Robert Redford playing le Fonz!"). And so Daffy Duck enthusiastically volunteers his services but doesn't get the job!
