Not too funny

"Wackiki Wabbit" is an American 7-minute cartoon from the 1940s, actually the days of World War II. But it is not political or I didn't see it. The movie has its 75th anniversary soon already and if you know a bit about Warner Bros. and Looney Toons, you will realize that Bugs changed a lot over the years. This is his very early self. I am a bit baffled by this cartoon and how it has such a good rating here on IMDb. it really is nothing special, not even for its time. Two men are shipwrecked, I don't think they appear in other cartoons again, so these poor fellows must have been forever on this island, probably died there. They try to catch Bugs and have him for dinner, but obviously Bugs is too smart and fast for them. The comedy is really only so-so in here and the music, usually Warner Bros.' strength, is not that compelling either. The ending is fine, but Warner Bros usually delivers there and even in the 1940s they have managed to close their films with better quality on several occasions. I personally give this one a thumbs down. Not a memorable watch despite some of the company's finest working on it.
