Bugs, Daffy and Elmer in "Surge Seasoning"

as a HUGE fan of the classic warner brothers cartoons, i simply could NOT pass this one by... it's a re-made version of the all-time great, 1952 animated short, "Rabbit Seasoning," directed by my personal hero, chuck jones, and featuring elmer fudd, daffy duck and bugs bunny spoofing the iraq "surge"...

the idea of re-making it around the surge is terrific but, unfortunately, imho, it's not all that well done... the genius of the classic warner brothers cartoons was their unrelenting wise-ass intelligence, the unforgettable personalities of the characters, the outstanding drawing and animation, and the appeal they had for all ages... you can judge for yourself by checking out the original below...
