"What's Cookin' Doc?" is a good Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Robert Clampett. It's Oscar night, folks! The severely cocky Bugs Bunny is confident that he will win that treasured golden statuette. When he doesn't, he nearly hits the roof! Trying to prove that he deserves a recount, he brings along some footage of one of his earlier pictures (1941's "Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt", directed by Friz Freleng).
My favorite moments from "What's Cookin' Doc?" include the following. Bugs tries out various caricatures at his dinner table and later onstage as the Oscar presenter makes a speech. Bugs does a hilarious scream when the projectionist screens the wrong film. And Bugs poses as Carmen Miranda (with some appropriate musical accompaniment) when he receives a barrage of fruit.
Those of you "old movie" buffs will appreciate the live-action shots of some famous Hollywood hangouts at the beginning of "What's Cookin' Doc?" No, it's not one of the more outstanding Bugs Bunny films, and the stock footage Bugs chose was not his funniest work. But it's still worth watching.
