This eight minute Looney Tunes cartoon is the longest of the three on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD of Adventures of Robin Hood from 1938. Bugs is hunted by The Sheriff of Nottingham following orders by the King for poaching a royal carrot, as he tricks him over and over in the usual style of these. Little John makes appearances as well(with *really* pronounced lips, not sure how that happened). I've watched a bunch of these at this point, and this is one of the only ones that genuinely made me laugh. Repeatedly. Are the gags entirely original to these, are they the most memorable, is there more than one truly clever play on words and is there a lot of the then-patented breaking of the fourth wall and meta-humor? Yea...-no. But it gets the job done. There is some "old English" in the dialog. The animation is nicely done and holds up well. This is well-paced, and it isn't boring at any point, no bits really go on for too long. There is cartoony violence and moderately disturbing content(if it is handled in a light tone) in this. I recommend this to fans of Merrie Melodies. 7/10
