Synopsis

Bugs Bunny once again making that "wrong turn at Albuquerque" burrows into a bullring, where a magnificent bull is making short work of a toreador. The bull bucks Bugs out of the arena, prompting the bunny to declare "Of course you realize, this means war!" The deft Bugs' arsenal comes plenty packed, as he uses anvils, well-placed face slaps and the bull's horns as a slingshot. The bull fights back, using his horns as a shotgun barrel. The bull's comeback is short-lived; just after Bugs makes out his will, he lures the bull out of the arena, just in time to set up a rube-like device that leads to the bull's defeat.

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
MartinHafer "Bully for Bugs" is a very good Bugs Bunny cartoon--which is no surprise since the franchise was going very strong at the time. Receiving a score lower than 8 actually would have been a surprise--these films were that consistently good. However, in one way this isn't exactly the typical sort of Bugs Bunny cartoon--as his nemesis is a lot more successful against him than normal.The film begins in a bull ring in Mexico. After dispatching the matador, the bull is ready for another fight when, suddenly, up pops Bugs. He naturally made a wrong turn at Albuquerque and ended up in the ring. As I mentioned above, however, the bull often gets the best of Bugs...that is, until the end. Overall, it's a high quality cartoon--with nice animation and plenty of laughs. Worth seeing.
Mightyzebra Unlike most of the people on this website, I do not think that this Bugs Bunny episode is a classic. It is not bad, I do quite like it, but I cannot see how so many people would consider this a "classic Looney Tune".I do find this short quite funny, but I find the animation and the theme quite mediocre. Bugs Bunny is clever, but he is not clever enough... I can understand why Bugs Bunny would have been fooled in his earlier cartoons, but not this one. In this episode, Bugs Bunny is trying to reach a carrot festival, but has ended up in Mexico in the middle of a dangerous bullfight. He replaces the matador and tries to fight the bull. Who will eventually earn his true victory?I recommend this to people who like very slapsticky Bugs Bunny episodes and to people who only like Looney Tunes because it is funny. Other people may like it, but not all that much. Enjoy "Bully for Bugs"! :-)7 and a half out of ten.
Son_of_Mansfield Bugs Bunny takes a wrong turn and ends up fighting a cocky bull. The kind of cartoon that Bugs Bunny is famous for as he seeks clever revenge on a vile opponent. The musical slapping gag where Bugs slaps the bull to the music is classic as is when the bull swallows a gun and starts shooting bullets out of it's horns by slamming it's tail on the ground. It is a lot more interesting to see Bugs tackle an opponent that is much larger then him. We know the bull doesn't stand a chance, but we love giving Bugs a challenge to test his strength. The music, animation, and voice work are commendable as usual. Bugs looks quite good in his matador outfit as well.*Bugs Bunny: Stop steaming up my tail! What do you want to do? Wrinkle it!*
skad13 Famed cartoon director Chuck Jones has said that this cartoon came about because his then-producer, Edward Selzer, caught him doodling a drawing of a bull one day and told Jones that he was *not* to make cartoon about bullfighting. Of such defiant acts are great cartoons made. This is one of the all-time great Looney Tunes, with great camera angles (note the ant's-eye view of a confident Bugs as the bull gains ground on him), hilarious give-and-take between Bugs and his adversary, and a gut-busting ending (beautifully scored by Carl Stalling). For years, CBS was stupid enough to broadcast this cartoon with its fantastic climax cruelly edited. You can now find the whole thing intact in Jones' The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie and on the Jones compilation videocassette From Hare to Eternity, as well as in intermittent broadcasts on Cartoon Network
