I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

8 Ball Bunny (1950) *** (out of 4) A small penguin gets separated from his traveling circus but thankfully he runs into Bugs Bunny who agrees to take him back home to the South Pole. This Warner/Looney Tunes short isn't going to be mistaken for a masterpiece as it doesn't contain enough laughs or action but there's no denying that the story itself is cute enough as is the penguin. For the most part this short moves well enough and the pacing is certain good enough to make the 7-minute running time go by very quickly. The highlight of the film is the rather funny map that shows the progress that the two are making. Of course, the scenes in between the maps really aren't all that clever or funny. One such example is a scene where Bugs is playing guitar while the penguin makes them a boat. It's just not funny. The one thing that does work is a few cameo spots by Humphrey Bogart playing the character from THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE.

I love 8 Ball Bunny, it was both funny and extremely cute. The animation is beautiful, very colourful and lively, with nice backgrounds especially. The music is rousing and sweet too, and the dialogue sparkles with wit and zest, Bugs has the best lines but the repeated line said by Humphrey Bogart sure was funny. The sight gags are like the cartoon, funny and cute, especially when the little penguin cried or clapped. The characters are great, Bugs is both caring and reluctant, but the penguin held my attention the most. Maybe it's because I have a thing for penguins, but this particular penguin was adorable and melted my heart immediately. Overall, wonderful, well worth watching I think for the penguin alone. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Bugs and an ice-skating penguin: now there's a new storyline. The penguins is part of the "Brooklyn Ice Frolics." One problem: the show closed and they left without the little guy! He wanders around and winds up falling into Bugs' hole outside the city.Bugs freaks out: "It's a boid - a boid in a tuxedo!! Hey, playboy, what's the idea of crashing in here in the middle of the night and disrupting an honest rabbit's slumber?"To make a long story short, the little penguin's tears get Bugs' sympathy so he takes him to where he thinks all penguins belong: the South Pole. They begin by hitching rides aboard a train, a la hobos, headed for "the Deep, Deep South."Their adventures take them to the steamship "Admiral Byrd" and a few other spots. I won't divulge any more because there is still over half the story to go, at this point.Suffice to say Bugs' is both funny and a very good protector of our little guy, who applauds every time something good happens. It's very cute and a really great cartoon overall with plenty of laughs and charm. Bugs adds to the humor just by the way he pronounces a lot of words in here. Having Humphrey Bogart make a guest appearance didn't hurt, either!This is outstanding entertainment.

This is a very good Bugs Bunny short which illustrates that no good deed goes unpunished. Because I want to touch on several details, this is a spoiler warning: This short opens with the star attraction of an ice show, a penguin, being left behind, trying to catch up to the truck and winding up falling into Bug's hole and disturbing an honest rabbit's slumber. At the sight of the penguin in tears, Bugs promises to get him home-a promise he'll have repeated cause to regret for the rest of the short.They hop a freight, where a hobo looks at the penguin and observes that "Penguins is practically chickens" and starts planning the dinner menu. Bugs gets rid of him with some balletic moves which would earn him an audition with the ABT.Bugs puts his charge on the Admiral Byrd, provisioned with "some ice cubes you can munch on the way", only to later discover that the ship is bound for Brooklyn. He swims to the ship in time to find that the poor little guy is once again viewed with an eye toward the culinary. Bugs rescues him once again and they set off on a series of adventures.The highlights of this section for me include Bugs playing a guitar and singing a calypso song while the penguin labors with an ax to hollow out a tree to fashion a crude boat and a scene where our heroes are in a boiling pot surrounded by singing and dancing natives (this time, they're both on the menu). Both scenes are punctuated by the running gag-Humphrey Bogart as Fred C. Dobbs from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, uttering the immortal line, "Could you help out a fellow American who's down on his luck?", which happens several times.After several gags and a montage, Bugs finally gets the penguin to the South Pole, only to learn that he's not from the South Pole, causing Bugs to throw a fit. The closing gag is hilarious, so I won't spoil it here.This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 and is well worth seeing. Recommended.
