Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Absolutely the worst movie.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Interesting Bugs Bunny short, directed by Chuck Jones, that's notable for being the first Warner Bros. cartoon produced in 3-D. The story for this one has Bugs finding Paul Bunyan's garden. Weird, I know, but bear with me. The vegetables in the garden are, like Bunyan, gigantic. So when Bugs finds giant carrots he thinks he's hit it rich. But then Bugs must contend with Bunyan's dog Smidgen (also a giant), who is in charge of watching over the garden. What follows are some funny lines and gags as Smidgen tries to chase Bugs away and save his master's carrots. The animation is really good and the 3-D trick shots are minimal so, even though the impact of those effects is diminished with normal viewing, it doesn't take you out of the cartoon enough to affect your enjoyment. It's a fun cartoon despite a somewhat abrupt ending. I'll give it points for being a little odd in a good way.

Just watched this Bugs Bunny cartoon on YouTube. This is the one Warner Bros. made in 3-D as evidenced by the beginning which has the familiar WB shield going further in front when it moves forward. I hope to one day see it in the format it was meant to be seen originally but I enjoyed it just the same. I mean, look at the many gags that emphasized the small size of Bugs and the big size of the giant dog Smidgen who happens to be Paul Bunyan's pet here. Oh, and he also looks like Porky Pig's usual dog Charlie. Since this animated short is helmed by Charlie's creator Chuck Jones, that seems to be more than a coincidence. Anyway, this was a very funny short though I didn't get the ending. Still, Lumber Jack-Rabbit comes highly recommended. P.S. It's always nice whenever Mel Blanc sings something in character like here with "Blue Tail Fly".

As an avid fan of Looney Tunes, I looked forward to seeing Lumber Jack-Rabbit. It was nice and entertaining, but some aspects disappointed too. So what disappointed? Well the pacing isn't as secure as it normally is, while the cartoon is I feel too short at 6 minutes. But the let down were some of the 3d effects. Some of them work nicely such as the dog and the horizon but others are distracting and as a consequence fall flat.However, the animation itself, the characters and backgrounds are crisp, colourful and lively, and the music is energetic and fun. There is also the typical Looney Tunes wit and irreverence that make these cartoons so enjoyable, evident in the witty dialogue and smart sight gags. Bugs has been better but he is good, while the dog Smidgen is a good foil. And as always Mel Blanc is stellar with the vocals. Overall, not the best of the lot by a mile, but definitely worth watching. 7/10 Bethany Cox

When this film was originally released, theater patrons were not handed those stupid cardboard glasses with blue and red cellophane lenses, that are used today. Instead we had to rent genuine Polaroid glasses. (This is the main reason 3-D went out of favor, simply because cinema patrons objected to paying the additional charge to rent the glasses).I was one of the few that raised no ruckus at all. I loved 3-D. And one of my best 3-D experiences was "Lumber Jack Rabbit" in which Bugs encounters a giant Paul Bunyan and his equally over-sized mutt, Smidgin.Inventively directed by Chuck Jones, with good jests, rapid cutting, and lots and lots of deepie effects (but not too much of simply throwing objects into the camera), "Lumber Jack Rabbit" (the title is misleading) is a real entertainment treat. Bugs himself is in fine fettle. Highly recommended.
