It's Bugs versus the Tasmanian Devil again in this fun short directed by Robert McKimson. This is Taz's second appearance, three years after his first. After an opening with Bugs (inside a crate of carrots) being dropped via parachute into Tasmania, we pretty much get a rehash of part of the first Bugs/Taz cartoon, Devil May Hare. There's an animal stampede, followed by Bugs reading up on Taz and discovering he eats rabbits, and then the meeting of the two and subsequent back & forth. As with the last cartoon, the premise is very simple but funny. Wonderful voice work from Mel Blanc. The animation is nice and colorful. Taz is far from one of my favorite characters but Bugs provides most of the laughs. Worth a look for most Looney Tunes fans.
