Looney Tunes: All Stars Final Part

Annnnd tonight we reach the final 3 shorts for this disc of Looney Tunes. We find one excellent short, one rather meh short and a rather good one.


Stage Door Cartoon:

This short opens up like any other, Elmer Fudd trying to get that wascally wabbit to little success. However after a chase lands them both in a theater, the short still follows the same plot but instead introduces a rather nice change of gag opportunities as Bugs uses various means to try and trick Elmer Fudd. The ending itself has a small twist which is kind of fun if you have never seen the short before or if you haven't been told how it ends.


What's Opera, Doc?:

This is definitely the best short on this disc I would imagine, and one of Bugs Bunny's all around best shorts. In this short we find a viking Elmer Fudd who sings "Kill da wabbit!" as he stabs his spear into the rabbit hole. This time however Bugs has his work cut out for him as Elmer has his spear and magic helmet that allows him to use lightning, summon rains and wind. Of course, Bugs still does have his disguise up his sleeve. The opera theme to this short really makes it stand out and makes it better than the usual "Elmer vs Bugs" shorts. This short, much like the last does have a twist to it's ending and one that is rather surprising the first time around. One small thing I enjoyed was the flower at the end with it's water drops looking like tears.

You Ought To Be In Pictures:

This short follows Porky Pig as Daffy tricks him into quitting cartoons to try and be an actor in feature length films. The big difference in this short is that it's all done in live action, but with Daffy, Porky and various other elements done in animation. This is probably the only good thing about the short is seeing an animated Porky interacting with a live world. Of course, this isn't new territory either and had already been worked in about 17 years ago by the Disney company, and before that by another company. I suppose the only good thing about this short, aside from the rather good live-action and animation interactions, is the fact that Porky Pig beats the shit out of Daffy Duck. That makes it all worth it to me but still leaves the short as rather 'meh' in the end for me.
