Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Broom-Stick Bunny" is an American Warner Bros. cartoon from 2956, so this one had its 60th anniversary last year. Looking at the names working on this one (Jones, Pierce, Blanc, Foray), I expected it a good watch and this also has to do with the rating here on IMDb and quantity of votes. This is certainly one of LT's more famous films. But I was disappointed. The first 4 minutes are based on the strange assumption that the female protagonist never heard of Halloween and trick-or-treating and it cannot be saved by a random Snow White reference (the mirror). Afterward, the bunny chase ensues and it is fairly forgettable except for how easy he is to catch for some reason. The final transformation as well as Bugs' phone call also hardly make sense at all, let alone entertain. This is absolutely not a great watch and I am surprised so many find it appealing. Gotta give it a thumb-down. Not recommended. To end the review still on a (somewhat) positive note, I want to say that this is the first film I have reviewed with June Foray in it since her very recent death shortly before her 100th birthday. And even if this one may not have been a quality piece, we should be grateful for the gigantic body of work she left us.

fmsteinberg This episode has a good mix of Bugs's antics. Bugs Bunny suffers some indignities and a close shave with death but comes out on top and has the closing one-liner.The graphics and copy which flash through the episode are hilarious, but easy to miss, starting with Witch Hazel's certificate guaranteeing her identity as a witch and upstanding membership, and which later accords with her comment that she hasn't seen Bugs Bunny, in disguise, at any of the "union meetings".The reason for the chase and attempted murder of Bugs, all comes down to the witch's Recipe 102, which demands inter alia, swamp water steeped in a skull, a cup of arsenic, diced spider, hornet's heel (3), and a rabbit's clavicle, not foot. Witch Hazel was perfectly willing to co-exist with Bugs, trying to wheedle out his secrets of ugliness, and with attempted reversal of ugliness by a witch's spell, but after all, all's fair in love and witchcraft. It is only that outlandish recipe requirement that leads to the mayhem.Witch Hazel is a fantastically ugly creature — down to her bulbous nose, the tip of which often creases as it weighs down upon her prominent chin — but you have to study her face.Her self-conscious laughter at her own running comments is another fine aspect of this episode. For example, after sharpening the knife with which to kill Bugs, she touches the blade, notes that it is "Sharp enough to split a hare". It is not an original pun, but she thinks that it is and then has another giggling frenzy before darting away, leaving a further trail of hair pins in her wake.Bugs Bunny has frequently had close shaves with death. I'd vote that his tears in this episode were a pre-meditated ruse, even if he were sympathetic and supplied, unknown to him, the 'poisoned' tea to Hazel.

MartinHafer This is a wonderful followup cartoon for Witch Hazel. In the previous film, Bugs rescued the rather dim Hansel and Gretel from her evil clutches. In this cartoon, Hazel has a new voice (June Foray--also the voice of Rocky Squirrel). Hazel is thrilled that her magic mirror continues to tell her that she is the ugliest of them all,...that is until Bugs shows up wearing an ugly witch's mask while Trick or Treating. Hazel thinks Bugs is a real witch and is jealous of her ugliness so she determines to slip this other "witch" a magic potion to make her pretty. Accidentally, Hazel herself swallows the potion and becomes a ravishing lady bunny--at which point she walks off in the sunset with Bugs.The cartoon is very funny, cute and well-written. A must-see for cartoon fans.

bob the moo It's Halloween and Witch Hazel is preparing a potion to ensure that she keeps ugly. Meanwhile Bugs is trick or treating dressed as a very ugly witch. When Hazel opens the door to Bugs in costume, she fears that she is not the ugliest witch in the world. When she eventually finds out that Bugs is a rabbit, it only places him in more danger as Hazel needs rabbit to finish her potion.I have seen several other cartoons with this witch Hazel character in them and I haven't really taken to her as a regular character, although as an one off she can do the job reasonably well. Here the film gets off to a slow start where Bugs is still in costume but gets better when the actual chase begins. The problem is that this chase is left far too late in the film to make up for the lack of good laughs in the first place. The chase has laughs but the fact that it comes late in the game is a letdown.Bugs does OK in his role and manages to do his usual stuff even if he has more running away to do than he has actual trickery. Hazel is alright but I just don't really like her as I never see her as a character so much as just a big witch stereotype (which is what she is). She gets a few laughs here but her dominant character doesn't really fit with Bugs' style of humour.Overall this is reasonably funny but inexplicably leaves the good stuff till right near the end of the cartoon instead of spreading it out. One of the better Witch Hazel cartoons, but that really isn't saying a great deal.
