Review:
‘Pest Coaster’ is the first cartoon of the fifth episode of the new Looney Tunes Cartoons series from 2020-2024. This episode starts with Bugs Bunny classically travelling underground, now ending up at an amusement park. In this park he wants to ride the rollercoaster called ‘The Murderizer’. Unfortunately, this ride is operated by Yosemite Sam, who has made a lot of rules, one of which is ‘no rabbits allowed’.
What follows is a string of gags in which Bugs Bunny does ride the rollercoaster and Yosemite Sam tries to prevent that. At one point Bugs dresses up like a Veronica Lake-like woman, emphasizing the nostalgia modus of the series. More interesting than the antics is the rather Joan Miró-like background art.
‘Pest Coaster’ is available on the Blu-Ray-set ‘Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection’

Review:
‘Pool Bunny’ starts with Bugs crossing a scorching hot desert. The chase cartoon starts when the hare enters Elmer Fudd’s swimming pool, but Elmer kicks him out, prompting Bugs Bunny to say: “of course you realize this means… You know what”.
This short is both a nice new take on classic tropes as a homage to the old cartoons. Bugs Bunny is particularly cruel in this cartoon and his revenge on Elmer is sweet, and even includes a classic death scene.
Watch ‘Pool Bunny’ yourself and tell me what you think:
