Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court (1978 TV Movie)

Fans of BRAVEHEART will remember . . .

. . . that Mel Gibson was drawn and quartered at the end, and he's never been the same since. Bugs Bunny is sentenced to the same Fate during BUGS BUNNY IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT, and while Bugs has not drunkenly ranted anti-Semitic Nazi slurs in Public after COURT was in session during the late 1970s, Bugs too seems greatly diminished since his 1940s heydays. As the historical record documents that the fastidious British always began a good intestinal drawing with the Castration\Penectomy combo, it's not hard to see why this process might get a guy "down in the dumps." The fact that such distasteful fodder was grist for the Looney Tuners' mill by the 1970s simply proves how morally bankrupt this bunch became after Warner Bros. cut most ties with these Uncontrollable Pervs. TWO Mark Twain novels are mentioned here, counting a passing reference to SAINT JOAN. As Mr. Clemens famously observed, a UPA-style minimalist animation outing is a good cartoon spoiled.
