This is a great animated short featuring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd who is, as usual, trying to kill him.The film opens in a theatre where they are preparing for a performance of The Barber of Seville. Before the opera starts Bugs enters the theatre being followed by Elmer how ends up on stage. The conductor starts the orchestra playing and Bugs, taking the role of the barber invites Elmer into his shop for a shave. What follows is hilarious as Bugs shaves Elmer with a cut throat razor, makes a large salad on his head and even proposes to him although unlike the later operatic short "What's Opera, Doc" Elmer ends up in the role of the bride.Chuck Jones has done a great job matching the animation to the music with hilarious results, he even manages to make Bugs giving Elmer a scalp massage laugh out loud funny.

This is one of the Best Bugs Bunny shorts that I've seen.The whole story of Bugs escaping Elmer through the opera "Barber of Seville" is pure genius. The whole short is filled with great music and funny scenes.and yes, Bugs DOES go in drag in it for a little bit and Elmer DOES wear a wedding dress near the end, but it is tastefully done with humor.I also crack up at the beard shaving scene and Bugs putting all of the stuff on Elmers scalp so that he grows hair. Then Elmer actually grows hair... which turns into flowers because of Bugs being funny. Then the chase goes back one.This is a short that I love along with "What's Opera, Doc" and "All This and Rabbit Stew" (which isn't shown anymore because of it's racial stereotype of black people.) and it deserves a 10/10 rating.

Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd wander into a production of The Barber of Seville at the Hollywood Bowl. Bugs promptly takes the part of the barber and gives Elmer a shave and hair treatment he won't soon forget all set to musical lyrics. This hilarious Hugo-nominated musical cartoon is on Disk 1 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1" It's the last short on disk 1 and quite possibly the best. And on a disk that contains the great 'What's up Doc?', 'Rabbit Seasoning', and 'Wabbit Twouble', that's no small feat. I'm a bit perplexed why this short didn't have a music-only track, nor commentary, but i'm VERY happy that it was on the DVD at all. The music is fantastic, the humour top of the line. This is one of the best Bugs cartoons in my mind.My Grade: A +

...to describe the insanity of this gem! My children & I sing the song, starting with "Hey yyoooooouuuuuuuuu!" I used to look forward to Cartoon Network's "June Bugs" promotion every year, since they would show all of the Bugs Bunny cartoon classics, and I got to see this one. Alas, they don't do it any more! BRING BACK LOONEY TUNES ON TV -- I WANT MY LOONEY TUNES ON TV!!!!!!Every step of the way, you cannot stop laughing at this cartoon. I also enjoy the "What's Opera, Doc?" short, but agree that this one definitely surpasses that one. It should certainly be on a video or DVD somewhere!
