Mocked by the other animals for being too timid to be the real King of the Jungle, the lion sets out to hunt and kill a rabbit as part of proving himself. However when he picks bugs Bunny as his prey of choice, he isn't prepared for what a tricky wabbit Bugs can be.
Despite the fact that the cartoon takes too long to introduce bugs into the film, this is actually an enjoyable run of Bugs Bunny doing his usual tricky stuff. The range of jokes is as normal and altered to the situation and characters. Mostly it is pretty funny throughout, although the ending is a bit of a letdown as an poorly drawn (in both sense) character is introduced as the punchline.
Bugs is always good value for money and, although he does the same stuff every time, he is almost always funny. What he does need though, is a good foil to bounce off of. Here the lion doesn't quite fit the bill and is too weak and wishy-washy a character to suffice. His side of the film is a little weaker as a result although Bugs does cover well for it.
Overall this is a good cartoon that basically does what Bugs does all the time be tricky and slippery. If you find that as funny as I do then you'll enjoy this film even if the lion will make you find of Elmer Fudd with a wistful look in your eye.
