Not even bad in a good way
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

By and large, CASABLANCA was successful in its Messaging, as the French-accented Jackie Kennedy was the closest brush that Americans had from 1942 until this past Friday with the Terrifying Prospect of having a Foreign First Lady NOT fully vetted by anyone given the run of Our People's White House. However, by 1995 Doonesbury Comic Strip Artist Gary Trudeau had publicized National Buffoon Donald J. Rump's "Run for the Presidency" so widely that Warner Bros. felt it incumbent to bring their Looney Tunes Animated Shorts Seers division out of mothballs to remake their iconic World War Two feature as a brief cartoon warning America even more explicitly of Rump's Loose Cannon Proclivities. Casting Penelope Pussywillow as Femme Fatale Ilsa ("Kitty" here, or the future Melancholia Rump, in Real Life) and Bugs Bunny as CARROTBLANCA's failing casino owner Rick (this is Bugs' ONLY portrayal of Rump himself, a sorry task usually relegated to Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Pepe LePew, Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety Bird, Taz, Bosko, Buddy, Egghead, or Yosemite Sam) Warner warns that if Ilsa bails out on Victor (Sylvester Cat here) in favor of Rick, then Putin will gain America's nuclear access codes from Melancholia. A word to the wise: Better stock up ASAP on those Haz-Mat anti-radiation protective suits (like the home invaders wear in E.T.) for EACH member of you family!
View MoreThe first thing I noticed in this Looney Tunes takeoff on "Casablanca" is the fantastic artwork. Man, this looks beautiful! The second thing quickly apparent is that this cartoon is going to include a ton of Looney Tunes characters, all congregating in the "Cafe Au Lait Americain" establishment in "Carrotblanca."With Bugs Bunny playing Humphrey Bogart; Daffy Duck as Sam the piano man, Tweety as Peter Lorre, Yosemite Sam as a Nazi general, etc., this is a hoot - really fun to watch. Of course, the more you know the movie Casablanca, the more you'll laugh at this. However, to be honest, I didn't find it hilarious, just mildly amusing and, of course, clever. With only seven or so minutes to work with, they had to rush the story so the ending is a bit goofy...but, hey, it's a cartoon, and they're supposed to provide us the unexpected!
View MoreBugs Bunny in charge of Rick's café? This spoof of, of course, the 40s film 'Casablanca' sees our carrot-chewing hero as the fortune-hunting, love-sick exile who meets the love of his life again when she walks into his bar.The strength of this cartoon isn't just in the details - they are a perfect reflection of the original film - but in the casting of well-known WB 'toon characters as the main players in 'Casablanca', for example Tweety Pie as Ugarte (the squeaky-voiced role originally played by Peter Lorre).Better than 'Rabbit Hood', Bugs's take on 'The Adventures of Robin Hood'. These little shorts are inspired additions to the DVDs of the original films - keep 'em coming.
View MoreThis short is welcome and enjoyable for many reasons and on many levels. It's a good spoof of Casablanca, it's as hilarious as the best of the work Warner Brothers did in their heyday and half the fun is in spotting the characters in small roles or as extras (waiters, sitting at tables, etc.), as with The Scarlet Pumpernickel or the glorious Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, which used the same concept. Excellent short of recent vintage which maintains the spirit of the old shorts. Glad to see that it's available. Well worth watching. Most recommended.
