Ali Baba Bunny

Chuck Jones, Ali Baba Bunny USA 1957


So we kick off 1957 with a Chuck Jones short featuring Bugs and Daffy. Might as well stop there but I'll continue. 


Bugs and Daffy are on vacation, but instead of Pismo Beach Bugs takes them to a cave...filled with riches. Which is fine, except for the massive guard outside. Hassan doesn't care for trespassers but his sword loves them. 

Bugs is all for getting back on the road but Daffy? Oh, Daffy wants that money. Daffy is the real MVP, kicking off all the action. Not that Bugs is passive but when he is dragged into this nonsense he can fool both guard and duck with equal aplomb.


Setting the standard rather high but this was easily my favorite period of shorts.
