4/10

Later (and lesser) Bugs Bunny short, set in World War I France, has Bugs and Yosemite Sam as rival pilots trying to shoot each other down. Porky Pig appears in a small role near the beginning. Well, this stinks. The few gags that even approach amusing are just rehashes of things the characters had done before. The animation on the whole is not good. The characters are drawn poorly and the colors are muddied. Mel Blanc does fine with the voices, trying his best to elevate weak material. Surprisingly, the music is the best part. I say this is surprising because the music is courtesy of Bill Lava, whose music for some of the Roadrunner cartoons in the 1960s is legendary for its awfulness. If you were to rank Bugs Bunny shorts from best to worst, this would probably be in the bottom ten.
