Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales [VHS] [1982]

This is a great classic cartoon; Bugs Bunny and his friends at their best!I had recorded it from the tv in the 80s and my three children loved it so much ( known as The Long Bugs Bunny) they wanted to buy one to show their children. Sadly it is not available on Region 2 DVD - looks like Grandy has to keep a VHS player for the future!

Funny

Son like

Ordered it for my children ,but expected more for £3.49Disappointing

Kids love it

This is a brilliant movie we remembered from our childhood. Bought for the kids who have similarly started to recount the funnies....

'1001 Rabbit Tales' is funny, but mostly for the wrong reasons.I loved how it was thought that you could make a Looney Tunes clip show, using new animation from 1982 and sloppily mix in severely cut episodes of classic 1940s/1950s cartoons, and expect kids to believe they were part of the new film as well, when you can clearly tell they weren't a mile off. At least with 'Daffy Duck's Quackbusters', with it's stronger plotline, better pacing, and the fact that it actually used two brand new shorts, it wasn't as noticeable, and in 'Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island', it worked really well. Both films are far better investments.Nevertheless, although clearly out together to make a quick buck, this film does have some redeeming features. The new storyline is lame, but the animation is okay, and at least you have Mel Blanc, who reprises the voices of these classic characters. The 'plot' (and I use the term loosely) centres around Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck having to sell books for Rambling House. They go their separate ways, and most of the action from then on relies on the stories of the old shorts.I have to give this three stars, firstly for the nerve, and secondly, with classic cartoons like 'Ali Baba Bunny' and 'Bewitched Bunny', as well as the less frequently seen 'Cracked Quacks' and 'Wise Quackers' used (albeit heavily cut), it can't be anything less than three stars worthy. Nevertheless, I'd recommended strongly that you see these gems in their entireties first, so pick up the 'Golden Collection' DVD sets. What you have here is a mixed up dog's dinner, and very cheesy with it.

They go their separate ways and experience many wacky things. After a little while, Bugs comes across Sultan Yosemite Sam's palace in the Arabian desert. Sam needs someone to read to his spoiled brat son, Prince Abba-Dabba (whose appearance resembles to the bespectacled boy from "A Waggily Tale"). When Bugs first meets the tyke and gets mocked, he objects to the idea of reading to him. Then, Sam threatens to make Bugs bathe in boiling oil, at which point Bugs agrees to read to Abba-Dabba.Bugs tries to escape on a flying carpet from the palace, but Sam catches him. Meanwhile, Daffy stumbles upon a cave of gold and tries to make off with the treasure. But a genie does not like what he was doing and chases him out of the cave. Daffy wanders through the desert and soon sees the palace, hoping to sell books there. Bugs luckily escapes and tries to warn Daffy about the palace, but he would not listen. He found out the hard way and the two walk off with Daffy missing all of his feathers.Most of the rest of the movie consists of the stories played out as classic cartoons. Some of the classic cartoon shorts were abridged. In the One Froggy Evening sequence, the ending where the construction worker from 2056 finds Michigan J. Frog and makes off with him was cut, making it seem as if the cartoon ended with the construction worker from 1955 getting rid of the frog and running off.This was the first Looney Tunes compilation film to use a completely original story and treat the included cartoon shorts as part of the story, as opposed to having the characters introduce the cartoons.Mel Blanc - Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Sylvester, Sylvester, Jr., Speedy Gonzales, Tweety, Genie, Hassan, Big Bad Wolf, Wile E.

Bryan - Elmer Fudd (archive footage)June Foray - GrannyShepard Menken - Old StorytellerLennie Weinrib - Prince Abba-DabbaThe main plot point, setting up Bugs and Daffy as Scherezade figures, is in itself similar to the 1959 short Hare-Abian Nights, which itself used considerable stock footage and also featured Yosemite Sam as the sultan.Another interesting aspect of this film is that many voice artists that were not credited in the original shorts are billed as "additional classic voices". For the first time, over twenty years after his death, Arthur Q. Bryan receives credit on a Warner Bros. production, even if it does fail to credit him as the voice of Elmer Fudd.The film marks the first time that a Warner cartoon compilation feature used classic cartoon footage from more than one director. One Froggy Evening, Bewitched Bunny and Ali Baba Bunny were directed by Chuck Jones, and Aqua Duck was directed by Robert McKimson, while all other classic shorts included were directed by Freleng

Essendo l'unico DVD italiano del memorabile film d'animazione Looney Tunes, è un prodotto da avere e collezionare! Sensazionale il doppiaggio italiano, targato EFFE ELLE DUE ad opera di Franco Latini...anche se, come per tutti i prodotti home-video della Warner, è un peccato che non figurino cartelli di doppiaggio finale. Ora all'appello, in homevideo, manca solo "L'isola fantastica di Daffy Duck"! Speriamo che la Warner ci accontenti presto....

good movies for the kids kids love it .safe for all kinds of kids

I remember growing up and watching this movie. I am so glad I found it.
