Bully for Bugs
Bugs Bunny once again making that "wrong turn at Albuquerque" burrows into a bullring, where a magnificent bull is making short work of a toreador. The bull bucks Bugs out of the arena, prompting the bunny to declare "Of course you realize, this means war!" The deft Bugs' arsenal comes plenty packed, as he uses anvils, well-placed face slaps and the bull's horns as a slingshot. The bull fights back, using his horns as a shotgun barrel. The bull's comeback is short-lived; just after Bugs makes out his will, he lures the bull out of the arena, just in time to set up a rube-like device that leads to the bull's defeat.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Bully for Bugs (1953) *** (out of 4)Fun Looney Tunes short has Bugs Bunny taking a wrong turn and ending up inside a bullring. Being a comedy, Bugs soon finds himself up against the meanest and toughest bull around. It seems everyone has a favorite Looney Tunes short and while I know this is a favorite to many, to me it's just a good one. Not classic but still very entertaining. There are many funny scenes but my favorite involves one of the final jokes of the bull going through a trap set by Bugs, which starts with some grease and ends with some TNT. The animation is very good as Jones keeps the action moving. Another strong gag deals with the bull accidentally swallowing a gun, which leads to some nice action.
Unlike most of the people on this website, I do not think that this Bugs Bunny episode is a classic. It is not bad, I do quite like it, but I cannot see how so many people would consider this a "classic Looney Tune".I do find this short quite funny, but I find the animation and the theme quite mediocre. Bugs Bunny is clever, but he is not clever enough... I can understand why Bugs Bunny would have been fooled in his earlier cartoons, but not this one. In this episode, Bugs Bunny is trying to reach a carrot festival, but has ended up in Mexico in the middle of a dangerous bullfight. He replaces the matador and tries to fight the bull. Who will eventually earn his true victory?I recommend this to people who like very slapsticky Bugs Bunny episodes and to people who only like Looney Tunes because it is funny. Other people may like it, but not all that much. Enjoy "Bully for Bugs"! :-)7 and a half out of ten.
This is another cartoon in which Bugs should have taken a "left turn at Albuquerque" and ends up at a place not of his choosing, in this case a bullfighting ring. After Bugs insults the bull, the bull butts the rabbit sky high as Bugs declares, "Of course you realize, this means war!" Boy, does it ever! Watch Bugs one-up the stubborn animal at every turn. Love the slaps the rabbit gives him to the beats of some Mexican music. Like Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam, this animal will not give up no matter how much Bugs manages to defeat him at every turn. Once again, kudos to Chuck Jones and Micheal Maltese for making another hilarious classic cartoon. And special thanks to their boss Eddie Selzer for telling them "bullfights aren't funny"!
Bugs is on his way to a carrot convention, but a wrong turn along the way means that he accidentally turns up in Spain, popping up in the middle of a bull fight. When he gets charged out of the building, bugs declares war on the bull and returns to get revenge.Yet again, Bugs takes a wrong turn at the same place and this time ends up getting his tail steamed up by a bull. When he smacks the bull off him it just kicks things off and the fun begins. The trickery Bugs uses here is very much of a more physical nature than when he uses word play and characters to trick his way around the bull. While I prefer a mix of humour, all the physical stuff is still very funny.The bull is a pretty good support character for Bugs as he tries to give as good as he gets. He may just be a big bull but that is what is needed where most of the humour is physical. Bugs may not get to play other roles but he is still good with his physical work here - he is on good form and he makes the material funnier.Overall, not Bugs best as it is just not as clever as some of his wittier stuff; but for out and out physical comedy this is a good example of Bugs at work.
