Featured review
Yet another Looney Tunes package film that feels rather sloppily assembled.
Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are traveling book salesman for Rambling House publishing who go on separate routes to sell their books. Eventually Bugs Bunny winds up at the palace of Arabian sulta Yosemite Sam and is forced by threat of boiling oil to read stories to Sam's obnoxious bratty son Prince Abba-Dabba.
Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales is the third compilation film of Looney Tunes shorts released by Warner Bros. And repurposed as a feature, Unlike The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie by Chuck Jones or the Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie by Friz Freling, there's no credited director for this third film as it uses a mixture of cartoons from multiple directors. Like the previous films it too was given a limited theatrical release before being sold for television rights. Much like the previous film Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, the film takes the individual shorts and daisy chains them into a narrative, but it's not a great representation of the shorts as they're heavily truncated and altered to fit.
Unlike the previous film which was a bunch of half-hour stories tied together with the shorts, this third film tries to have a feature length plot by organizing itself as a road movie with Bugs and Daffy trying to sell books and getting into various misadventures that are comprised of the original shorts. On paper its not an unworkable idea, but the structure really has to bend and twist itself to justify this premise with the whole second half of the film basically boiling down to a remake of Hare-Abian Nights, which itself was also a stock footage short. There's a good collection of shorts used even if they're heavily altered with Ali Baba Bunny chopped to pieces after having already been seen in the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, and Bewitched Bunny and One Froggy Evening have their best punchlines excised and abruptly stop.
Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales is probably the weakest of the Bugs Bunny fronted compilation films released by Warner Bros. While the movie attempts to be a cohesive whole across the entire films plotline, it doesn't do so particularly well and is pretty sloppily put together. Like the previous there's not much reason to watch this as the original shorts are now widely available across home media and streaming, and it's really only a historical curiosity and the fact it's the first time Arthur Q. Bryan is credited as the voice of Elmer Fudd.
