"My Bunny Lies over the Sea" is a fine Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. This time around, the wascawwy wabbit matches wits with a pompous, arrogant Scotsman (voiced by Mel Blanc, of course).Here are my personal favorite moments from this cartoon. Believing the Scot to be a helpless little old lady, Bugs attacks a "horrible monster" (the gentleman's bagpipes). For the ending, Bugs adds a bass drum, cymbals, clarinets, a trumpet, a trombone, and a saxophone to his own set of bagpipes. During the golf tournament, the expression on Bugs' face is hilarious as he indicates to the Scot that his impatient foot-tapping is very rude while Bugs plans his first swing; I also love how Bugs makes use of an "auction" to bring his fifty-five swings down to one."My Bunny Lies over the Sea" is proof that Bugs Bunny can outwit just about ANYBODY with whom he comes into contact.

My Bunny Lies Over the Sea (1948) ** (out of 4) Lesser short from the Looney Tunes series has Bugs Bunny ending up in Scotland where he destroys a man's bagpipes so he gets challenged at a game of golf. This has never been one of my favorites and it was actually even weaker than I remembered it being. There are really two jokes in this short with the first half dealing with Scotland and the second half dealing with golf. Neither contain any major laugh even though both halves feature some nice imagination. While the imagination is nice none of it ever captures too many laughs as most of the jokes fall flat on their face. The final joke of the film isn't too bad but this is easily one that could be skipped.

Though this Looney Tunes episode has a great deal of stereotypical Scottish things featured, it is good all the same (the Scottish seem to love being their stereotypes for some reason, so it is OK that they do do it this way.) In "My Bunny Lies Over the Sea", Bugs Bunny is yet again trying to reach a place by going underground - and, as usual, he takes the wrong turn at Alberquerque - and ends up in the Highland of Scotland! He angers the first Scotsman he sees by ruining his bagpipes - and the Scotsman challenges the rabbit to a game of golf. The only mediocre thing about the episode was the predictability of the game of golf. The backgrounds, the other jokes (there are some very good verbal jokes here towards the end which are hard to catch) and the Scottishness about it were all brilliant. I also loved the background of Loch Lomond - very detailed for a Looney Tunes episode and quite true. Wonder if the Termite Terrace team went to Scotland before doing this episode... I recommend this episode to people who love Scotland, Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes. Enjoy "My Bunny Lies Over the Sea"! :-)

Having once again realized he "should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque", Bugs winds up in Scotland where he already finds trouble when he mistakes a Scotsman in his kilts playing a bagpipe for an old lady being attacked by a monster and "kills" the instrument. From there, insults fly fast as the kilt-wearing man whose voice partially resembles Yosemite Sam challenges the rabbit to a game of golf. As with Sam, Bugs changes one word that makes his opponent accept one of his plays as a "hole-in-one" despite fifty-five tries! None of the stuff Bugs does would be acceptable in the golf rule book but they're pretty hilarious nonetheless! That last gag is a topper! Another funny outing from Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese.
