Console best movie i've ever seen.
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Dawalk-1 First of all, I remember seeing this show as part of the Disney Afternoon block and found every minute of every episode enjoyable. I also didn't know at the time I was watching it that this was originally intended to be a spin-off series starring Roger Rabbit. But the initial plan never came to be due to the copyright problems between Disney and Amblin, so Bonkers (who is a bobcat by the way, to the first reviewer who asked what he is supposed to be) was brought over from his own segments on Raw Toonage and was used to replace Roger and be the star instead. At the beginning of this series, Bonkers becomes unemployed due to his old show being dropped from first place in the ratings. But then, after an unanticipated turn of events, Bonkers finds himself inadvertently entangled in a case and is later asked to join the police force, which he agrees to do so.This Disney 'toon has a definite Tex Avery/Bob Clamplett vibe to it and I think that must be the main reason why it's connected with a majority of viewers. Those who are familiar with the classic animated featurettes directed by them will find Bonkers reminiscent of their styles. This Disney 'toon is probably the one at its wackiest as well that's in the spirit of Looney Tunes and the like. Another thing I like about this show as among my favorite aspects (and why I'd recommend it to those who haven't already seen it) is the cameos made by various, established Disney characters like Donald Duck, Goofy Goof, Mickey Mouse, Mad Hatter, March Hare, the dormouse and many others I may have forgotten like Dumbo. I love it when a Disney project involves character cameos and/or walk-ons. Not only does Bonkers appear here additionally, but his co-stars Fawn Deer, Jitters A. Dog, Grumbles Grizzly, Roderick Lizzard and Tuttle Turtle do too. Although this show is supposed to be modeled after Roger Rabbit, it's technically, fully animated, rather than an actual mixture of animation and live-action. But Bonkers' first human partner, Lucky Piquel, is meant to be the more normal one, as are the other human characters, like his wife, Dyl, and daughter, Marilyn. Lucky also tries his best not to get as nutty as Bonkers is all while trying to do his duty. The series is split into two eras, with many episodes featuring Lucky and others featuring Bonkers' new partner, Miranda Wright (who he meets after Lucky and his family move to D.C., having obtained a promotion). Whoever Bonkers is partnered with, they go on cases that usually involved missing 'toons and' toon villains who are often behind the kidnappings. Albeit sometimes the general storyline detracted from those. Despite what one nay-sayer or two on here wrote, I say this show should not be missed for at least the cameos it has and to best describe it and sum this up in my own words: It's just such a thrill of a joyride that will keep you at the edge of your seat as the hilarity ensues. And anyone not feeling this show in one way or another must lack a funny bone maybe.
vegeta3986 There are only two cartoon series that meant the world to me in my childhood and this was one of them. I love this series so much. the writing was always ingenious, the characters were lovable, and it always left you with a good feeling and made you smile. But what sets this show apart from other also very good shows? its charm. its self aware charm. almost as if it knew it was a TV show and played to the audience. The idea of this show was already tried with Roger rabbit, but Bonkers pulled it off much better with a hilarious personality and lovability. the episodes where he's paired with piquel are hysterical and (IMO) better than the later ones with Miranda. they just had a sort of chemistry that was brilliant. if i had to nitpick, the only thing i DIDN'T like about this show was fall apart rabbit and the theme song. but other than that, this show is amazing, even to this day. It's incrediby sad that this series is not on DVD yet and i will be sure to buy it the moment it does. The cartoons of today need to take lessons from these amazing shows and go back to hand drawings. This show embodies my childhood and has near perfection status, with 10 wacky toons, out of 10.
luvrockaaf I used to watch this show all the time. It's one of my all time favorites. Yeah, it's a kid's show. The cartoons are a little corny but that's just like kids... their jokes are corny. Bonkers is an adorable character but Fall-Apart is the better one. He is like Eyeor from Winnie the Pooh because he always had bad things happen. His legs, nose, ears fall off and he gets them put back on in the wrong positions. His partners changed and it still stayed cute. It's not a classic and it's not for serious people but it is great for an innocent laugh.
changsmith This show is really wacky. That's mostly why it's funny. Bonkers, a bobcat teams up with Lucky, a police officer and some other friends to save the day-although the episode usually has a lot off the subject, which makes it survive for twenty-five minutes. There are some pretty funny characters, including talking stationary and all sorts of animals. I love this show!
