5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another classic Bugs film., August 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster / Animated [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one everybody has seen. This is the cartoon where Bugs is featured in many operas with his rivals. I can't remember the name, but Yosimite Sam is dressed up like a viking, and Bugs is dressed up like a princess. Also, the Barber of Siville with Bugs and Elmer is great. Great cartoons in sync with classical music. This is one of the best cartoons ever created. Bugs fan or not, you must have this.

5.0 out of 5 stars "What's Opera, Doc?", January 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster / Animated [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I think this video contains the classic "What's Opera, Doc?" Bugs dressed in the disguise of a young maiden and Elmer Fudd with his magic helmet on to help him "kill the rabbit," sing "Return My Love." Elmer falls for the maiden until she looses her golden locks. But it doesn't end there. It stays true to Opera and sort of has a tragic ending. The animation, graphics, and humor are a true materpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gems in an adequate setting, September 6, 2005

This review is from: Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster / Animated [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was a television special broadcast in 1991. It melds two of my all-time favorite cartoons, "The Rabbit of Seville" and "What's Opera, Doc?", along with "Baton Bunny" and some framing sequences including Granny, Sylvester, the three bears, and Yosemite Sam. There's also an original bit with Daffy, Porky, and the William Tell Overture.

The show tries to run the cartoons seamlessly into the action, so the original titles and credits are gone from each. I was most disappointed that "Rabbit" ended without Bugs' original punchline, "Next?" Still, it's nice to get Bugs' best orchestral works all under one roof.

Small bonus: The opera soloist heard during the closing credits comes from "Long-Haired Hare", another great musical Bugs cartoon.
