Entertaining Bugs Bunny short directed by Robert McKimson. This one has Bugs taking a job as a hurdy gurdy man. Basically that means Bugs drags a cart around that plays music while his monkey assistant goes to apartment windows and collects whatever change people want to give them. The monkey is a clever little thing and decides to keep the money to himself, leading to Bugs chasing him off. The monkey then goes to the zoo and tells his gorilla friend what happened, which leads to the angry gorilla escaping the zoo and confronting Bugs. The animation is really beautiful with rich colors, well-drawn characters, and especially nicely done backgrounds. Great voice work from the incomparable Mel Blanc. Energetic music from Carl Stalling, as usual. It's a funny short with several great lines and gags. I can't imagine any Bugs fan not liking it.
