THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE LOONEY TUNES

I like to think of it as a satire on greed. It's really more of a showcase for Daffy Duck than Bugs Bunny. They're tunneling in search of Albuquerque (name used strictly for laughs)and stumble across Ali Baba's treasure. While Bugs is still mainly interested in getting to Albuquerque, Daffy's inhererent greed immediately becomes apparent, desiring the treasure and nothing else. It's not on the first Looney Tunes DVD collection and I don't think it will be on the second, but I hope it will be on DVD eventually.

Sorry, but every time I watch some guy with a sword (like in Apocalypse Now, during the water buffalo scene) I scream "Hassaaan chop!" because I just can't help myself. This cartoon rules.

Daffy and Bugs, what a comedy team. They are in the league of Laurel and Hardy. And that is the higest coplient I can pay them.

Daffy's greed and Bugs quick thinking means that daffy is in for hiding once again.

I love these two as they both try to unwit each other. But Buggs Bunny is always that much smarter.

Wonderful catoon, and the gags/jokes are easy to understand, and make you smile long after you have seen this.

Thanks Daffy, thanks Buggs for being you.

Please watch this, will put a smile on your face.

This IS my favorite Looney Tunes cartoon. It was great when I was five, funnier when I was in college, and timeless now in my 40's. Mel Blanc, Chuck Jones, Friz Freling - all geniuses and cartoon gods. Nothing comes close.

Okay, here's the poop: It's on Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 - Disc One, #2. Enjoy!
