. . . of the genuine article that MGM producers Harman and Ising were starting to churn out in their earlier Warner Bros. days. BOTTLES never misses an opportunity to pull a punch, especially with its "This was all a dream" hackneyed closing. These bloated BOTTLES drag on for at least 25% longer than a comparable Warner Bros. Looney Tune, while encompassing well under half the action. None of the many "Things in a store come to life after hours"-themed Looney Tunes feel the need to include the trite and unnecessary framing device found here. The sight gags and puns in a Looney Tune of this nature are twice as clever, and come three times as fast. The "Ammonia Spirits" chase scene in BOTTLES is totally Lame & Tame compared to those packed into the final half of even a sub-par Looney Tune. The latter's cutting-edge ethnic humor with Pancake Mixes, Tamales, and the Gold Dust Twins also is MIA in these pathetic BOTTLES. In summary, BOTTLES are for babies!!
