SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 12:00 Min.
These Erik Knutson-directed episodes were first released in the U.S. on Boomerang’s streaming service on March 15, 2018. First up is “Easter Bunny Imposter,” as an eagle-led Eagle Scout troop pursues Easter Yeggs’ brown Easter Rabbit in the forest. Filling in for his old pal, Bugs Bunny leads the ultra-dense scout leader on a merry chase.
Then, in “Easter Tweets,” with Granny having gone out bowling, Sylvester (disguised as the Easter Bunny) gets the house to himself chasing after Tweety.
Bugs Bunny & Sylvester the Cat: Jeff Bergman
Granny & Scouts: Candy Milo
Tweety: Bob Bergen
Eagle Scout: Cedric Yarbrough
Scouts: Matthew Yang King
Note: For the series itself, these two shorts are Episodes # 65A-B.
REVIEW:
At a supposed bargain price, this reviewer gave the above-named episodes a chance. Suffice to say, the dubious experience should count towards a $0.59 tax write-off (and twelve minutes viewers will never get back). The pathetic gags fail 99% of the time; yet, a tone-deaf Warner Bros. Animation exacerbates this unforced error by repeating variations of the same failed jokes over and over.
The sole upside reusing the same voice actors from the far superior Looney Tunes Show is a lost cause. Specifically, aside from bad scripting, the cheapo web-toon animation looks so crummy that these kiddie cartoons ought to have been a radio show. Maybe then they could have been rated slightly higher.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 1½ Stars
