"Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid" is a superb Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by the wild & unpredictable Bob Clampett. This time around, Bugs is pitted against the dopiest of birds, a bashful buzzard who later became known as Beaky. Under Mr. Clampett's direction, Bugs is ever the prankster!
My absolute favorite scene in this picture is that of Bugs and Beaky physically struggling with each other and then suddenly going into a dance, in which composer Carl Stalling wrote a wonderfully swinging big band score. I also like the jazzy walking bass line and muted brass as Beaky crawls on top of the clouds. In addition, Bugs is funny with his feminine makeup and coy voice when Beaky catches him in the shower.
I've enjoyed "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid" ever since I had first seen it during my high school days (early 1990s), and I'm very glad to see this cartoon released on DVD (the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 Disc 3).
