This is easily one of the best Looney Tunes compilation movies, along with Daffy Ducks Movie: Fantastic Island.
However, the title, The Bugs Bunny/ Road Runner Movie, is a bit misleading. Bugs Bunny hosts this movie, but Road Runner doesn't co-host or co-star with Bugs, and he does not appear at all until near the end of the movie, when we first see a framed portrait of him, followed by clips from many Road Runner cartoons. Road Runner doesn't even appear in the opening sequence. The more recent video release cover (from 1997) would also make it seem like Road Runner appears equally with Bugs (the original poster features almost every character who appears in this movie). The only reason I can think of for it being called The Bugs Bunny/ Road Runner Movie would be to tie-in with The Bugs Bunny/ Road Runner Show, which I think was still being broadcast at the time of this movie.
However, this is still a great movie. Bugs Bunny shows viewers around his mansion and presents clips from many Warner bros. cartoons, most of which feature Bugs Bunny (some don't feature Bugs or Road Runner). All of the cartoons shown are directed by Chuck Jones. Highlights include Duck Amuck, Rabbits Feat, What's Opera, Doc?, Operation: Rabbit (one of Wile E. Coyotie's pairings with Bugs), Hare-Way To The Stars, For Scent-Imental Reasons, and more. There are a lot of classic Chuck Jones cartoons not included, such as The Rabbit of Seville, One Froggy Evening, and The Scarlett Pumperknickle. Also not included are the Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog cartoons (in fact, there are no cartoons featuring only rarely-used characters or one-shot characters). Since the movie only includes cartoons directed by Chuck Jones, there are no appearances by Yosimite Sam (except for on a picture), Sylvestor (though he did appear in a handful of Chuck Jones cartoons), Tweety, Foghorn leghorn, or Speedy Gonzoles.
Still, this is one of the best compilation movies, and most of the cartoons presented here are the full versions, with the exception of openings, closings, and credit sequences (even then, a handful of cartoons have their title cards shown). Operation: Rabbit and Long-Haired hare are both shortened, but all other cartoons that are not presented in clips are otherwise complete.
