Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet Review

Hello there Looney Tunes fans i figured since you yanks will be celebrating thanksgiving soon that i would review a cartoon special that has a thanksgiving theme and well here's my review of the first of two Looney Tunes thanksgiving specials Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet.

This special doesn't really have a plot since it's a basically a clip show with new footage of Bugs as a Doctor who gives advice to various other characters and that bit of advice would then lead into a cartoon. I have to admit that was a pretty funny set up having Bugs acting as a Doctor and giving out all the advice but sometimes you could tell when it was old footage and that took me out of it a little bit.

This special only stars the late Mel Blanc and the late June Foray so i can't really knock the acting since both of them are legends but i will say that at times Bugs does sound a bit different and since this special was made in the late 70's and near Mel's death it's understandable.

Now for this review i won't comment on the animation from the original cartoons since they always had great animation instead i'll just focus on the newly animated scenes. Honestly the animation in those scenes i thought were really well done it's not as good as the original shorts but given this was made for TV and on a TV budget the animation looks really good and honestly most scenes blend with the old footage really well.

This special gives alot of love to a character that i never even knew existed Millicent who as you can see from the above picture is a little bit over weight and she's obsessed with Bugs while she doesn't really get any jokes in the special she seems like a funny character and foil for Bugs and it makes me wonder if other Looney Tunes media use her.

Now i'm proud to say that alot of the jokes in this special are really freaking funny it's not just characters hitting each other over the head there's a lot of great word play and you get to see Bugs out smarting alot of people including Taz which is always fun to see.

Overall it's hard for me to say if you should watch this if your a Looney Tunes fans or not just because alot of the cartoons that they show have been in the movies and the newer stuff doesn't really add anything so for me the special gets a 7 maybe a 7.5 out of 10 you see even deciding on a rating is hard.
