It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This Bugs Bunny short opened promisingly when he finds himself in Scotland instead of Los Angeles following a wrong turn in Albequerque (where else?). He spots a kilt wearing Scotsman playing the bagpipes and assumes it was actually a woman being attacked by some strange creature, Bugs promptly attacks the pipes and destroys them and is shocked to find that the old lady is in fact a man. Not surprisingly the man takes offence at Bug's actions and challenges him to a game of golf... this is where things go wrong. The game takes up too much of the cartoon and while it had some funny parts others just seemed silly, even for a cartoon.

My Bunny Lies Over the Sea (1948) ** (out of 4) Lesser short from the Looney Tunes series has Bugs Bunny ending up in Scotland where he destroys a man's bagpipes so he gets challenged at a game of golf. This has never been one of my favorites and it was actually even weaker than I remembered it being. There are really two jokes in this short with the first half dealing with Scotland and the second half dealing with golf. Neither contain any major laugh even though both halves feature some nice imagination. While the imagination is nice none of it ever captures too many laughs as most of the jokes fall flat on their face. The final joke of the film isn't too bad but this is easily one that could be skipped.

The golf scenes in here were okay but nothing to "write home about." The better laughs - and there weren't many in this sub-par Bugs Bunny cartoon - were before Bugs and his Scottish foe played.Even though it's been used before, it's always fun to see Bugs appear out of some hole and discover he's not close to where he thought he was going. This time he's WAY off target, across the ocean in Scotland. Bugs uses his normal line, "I knew I should have taken a left at Albuquerque."Upon spotting a Scotsman wearing kilts and playing the bagpipes (talk about stereotyping!), Bugs jumps on the bagpipes and ruins them. He thought it was mugger beating up on an old lady, the kilts confusing him. Then, when he finds out what's what, Bugs changes his normal opening line to, "What's up, MacDoc?"The two get into it and the Scotsman challenges him to a game of golf to save his honor. The match features all kinds of cheating and holes-in-one. As mentioned above, this is below par....or should I rephrase that to "over par." Most Bugs Bunny cartoons are pars and birdies, but this one's a bogey.

Maybe "My Bunny Lies Over the Sea" stereotypes the Scots as kilt-clad, bagpipe-playing grouches, but it is a hilarious cartoon. After Bugs Bunny forgets that left turn at Albuquerque, he ends up on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland, where he and a local settle a dispute by playing golf. Needless to say, Bugs turns the whole thing on its head.Among other things, this cartoon makes one nostalgic for the days - which may have been well over 100 years ago - when golf represented Scottish heritage and wasn't just something that rich snobs did to waste time (especially given that Jack Abramoff took Tom DeLay and Bob Ney on the golfing trip in Scotland a few years ago). But mostly, it's a classic cartoon plain and simple. Or, to say it like they would in Scotland: Ay, 'tis a wonderful wee cartoon, ya blasted Englishman! I wonder if that was the Wallace plaid during the opening credits. As a descendant of William Wallace (Scotland's greatest patriot and the subject of "Braveheart"), I hope that it was.
