Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Knighty Knight Bugs" is a 6.5-minute short film from 1958, so this little cartoon will have its 60th anniversary soon. World War Ii was over at this point for a long time and so Freleng Foster and Blanc were really unpolitical again with their work here. And it was one of their biggest successes as it won an Academy Award. Bugs is ordered to get a Singing Sword for his King, but Sam protects it and this is one of the rare occasions where I can understand Sam as Bugs is basically a thief or maybe I should say his King as what he tells Bugs will happen with him if he does not get the sword. Add a dragon into the mix, even if he is mostly more like a horse in here and you have this cartoon in a nut-shell. Some of the action and dialogues were funny, but I don't think it's anywhere near Warner Bros' best. Worth a watch for cartoon fans, but the Oscars may have been a bit too much. I recommend checking it out.

TheLittleSongbird This is an above decent cartoon, but it is not the best Bugs cartoon. I do agree with everyone here that while this is very enjoyable, I am not sure whether the Oscar was deserved or not. Personally the chief weakness for me was the dragon, while relevant to the story, he turned out pretty useless. The dialogue is good, but Yosemite gets the best lines somehow, and Bugs while on top form as well is a little underplayed here. That said, the animation is consistently excellent, the gags particularly with the drawbridge were very funny and the music is wonderful. And so are the vocals from Mel Blanc, who pretty much immortalises the Looney Tunes cartoons. Overall, not the best, but definitely one I'll see again. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Lee Eisenberg We all know King Arthur, but what if Bugs Bunny was his court jester? Quite simply, the king - disappointed at his knights chickening out (in more way than one) - would send Bugs to fetch the Singing Sword kept by the Black Knight, aka Yosemite Sam. And that's just what happens in "Knighty Knight Bugs". Specifically, when Bugs finds the Singing Sword, it literally starts singing, and Sam comes after him with his pet dragon. But Bugs tricks them and takes over the castle, leading Sam to pull several embarrassing stunts attempting to re-enter. I really liked Sam's plan to "sail over the wall". All in all, they created another classic cartoon here.

kenny_c_hueholt I think this cartoon truly did deserve an Oscar it was hilarious. I especially like when Yosemite Sam/The Black Knight shoots himself out of a cannon and crashes into the wall and when he gets flattened by the drawbridge. Classic line: Sam: "Don't sneeze, you stupid dragon, or you'll blow us to the moon." Sure enough, that's what happens. Highly recommended.
