Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

TheLittleSongbird I have always adored Looney Tunes, and Show Biz Bugs is a big example of why. While not one of my absolute favourites, I still love it for many reasons. The animation is wonderful, everything is drawn with great smoothness and the colours are gorgeous. The standout sequence in this regard was the Tea for Two sequence, not in a while have I seen animation so elegant. The music is energetic, characterful and full of lush orchestration. The humour is just as effective. You may have seen some of the gags before, but I still find them hilarious. I especially like the gag with the xylophone and the explosive. The dialogue has its usual wit, with Daffy getting the best lines. The dancing is beautifully choreographed, Daffy's tap dance is quite nifty and one does wonder why he didn't garner the applause he ought to have done. I do agree that it is Daffy who steals the show, I just love how overly-competitive he is. Of course there are shorts that are more effective at seeing him at his best, which is mainly in manic mode, but he is still funny here. That is not to say that Bugs isn't good, he still outsmarts his foil, here it is Daffy, as you'd expect, but here is a Bugs who plays it straight rather than the crafty and arrogant Bugs we are more familiar with. For a cartoon with his name in it, he is not as prominent as Daffy which is why the title is somewhat ironic. Mel Blanc's vocals are superb as always. All in all, lots of fun. 9.5/10 Bethany Cox

phantom_tollbooth Friz Freleng's 'Show Biz Bugs' is a great cartoon largely due to its premise. Drawing on the Bugs and Daffy rivalry established by Chuck Jones, 'Show Biz Bugs' places the two characters in a show biz context as they perform for an audience. However, no matter how extravagant a show Daffy puts on, the audience refuse to applaud him, only clapping whenever Bugs comes out. This idea for a story draws on the bafflement of many animation insiders regarding Bugs's popularity with the public over the more versatile Daffy. As a long term Daffy fan, I can very much sympathise with this and 'Show Biz Bugs' depicts it beautifully. Bugs does practically nothing at all in the cartoon, acting as mere motivation for Daffy's antics and still garnering the appreciation of the audience. A hoofing routine in which the pair do exactly the same dance in exact unison side by side (beautifully animated, by the way) highlights the injustice of the public's reaction. The greatest irony, of course, is that the cartoon is called 'Show Biz Bugs' despite Daffy doing all the work and garnering all the laughs! There are a couple of old, well-worn gags in 'Show Biz Bugs' but they are well executed and the context improves them too. The final, explosive gag that close the short is not only very funny but also makes a greater point about the frustrated artist: he can only achieve the acclaim he deserves after he dies.

movieman_kev Daffy Duck is in a vaudeville act with Bugs Bunny which he detests because of all the accolades that Bugs gets, and the lack of them that he gets. Which leads him to drastic measures to win the audience over. Some re-used famous gags cause this short to be less than what it could have been, but using the old saying that "any Looney Tunes is Good Looney Tunes", I can't really dislike this one either. This animated short can be seen on Disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 and also features an optional commentary by Greg Ford (as well as vintage sound clips and unused musical scores) My Grade: B-

mjsmith And, this one shows that Bugs can even outsmart Daffy again, even if it's from different directors!This one is my favorite Bugs Vs. Daffy cartoon from Friz Freling!!!
