. . . begins by recycling the lame title ballad from the earlier animated short. The cigar-chomping Bunny Parker has one foot in the grave, judging by her habitually pained expression. No doubt she has some Stogie-induced form of oral cancer, precluding her from eating any of the pointy orange vegetables she and partner Claude filch. Yet Bunny continues to egg on Mr. Barrow to illegally appropriate ever greater quantities of the nutritious root, leading to the GREAT CARROT-TRAIN ROBBERY. Big screen railroad heists have fascinated Americans since the 1890s, since they often involve high-speed fights fought atop box car catwalks. CARROT-TRAIN is no exception, and the pursuing sheriff is in for more exercise here (with less shooting) than he experienced in episode one of BUNNY AND CLAUDE. Still, Warner Bros.' animation of the 1960s is a pale imitation of their work from 20 years earlier, and it's only gone further downhill since Richard III hunched his way out of the White House. I don't recall Bunny doing anything recently, so I assume she's long gone (done in by her nicotine addiction). Fortunately, Claude now has the right to marry if he hits it off with Bugs--even in every county of Kentucky!
