Watching The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie (1979) FOR THE FIRST TIME!! || Movie Reaction!! 

Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction!! Sorry I know The Hangover was supposed to be out next, had some copyright issues!! So while those are being worked on wanted to drop this one instead!! See you tomorrow for All Dogs Go To Heaven!!

It's interesting finding someone who's unfamiliar with the Looney Tunes. It's even more interesting seeing them watch some Looney Tunes. For context, this movie is a package collection of pre-existing Looney Tunes shorts, which would play before feature length movies back in the day. The original run of shorts alone lasted from 1930 through 1969, with a total of 1000 shorts created, which introduced some of the most iconic cartoon characters ever. So yeah, you've got a lot of content for future videos. I hope you enjoy them. 😊

Ooh, I've been looking forward to you running into some Looney Tunes media! So since you asked, Bugs Bunny is an anthropomorphic rabbit who can basically get out of any situation. He has a Brooklynese accent, and his signature phrase is "Eh... What's up, doc?" He is considered by some to be the greatest cartoon character of all time due to his one-liners, physical comedy, and rather nonchalant nature. Bugs often remains very calm and collected in very intense situations, and some later works depict him as a de facto leader of the Looney Tunes. He is the mascot for Warner Bros., has been around since before World War II, and is basically the polar opposite of the less edgy and everyman Mickey Mouse. Bugs is one of the most portrayed fictional characters of all time, and with 167 theatrical cartoon shorts under his belt, he is most likely the most prolific cartoon character. I love Bugs. He's one of my favorite cartoon characters, and I loved watching him and the Looney Tunes during the pandemic.

Bugs Bunny is based on the classic trope of The Trickster who goes back to time immemorial. Loki (the mythological figure from ancient Norse mythology, not the Marvel character), Hermes, the Coyote of Native myths, he’s just that same figure retold in a more modern context. He also somewhat is typically a representation of the common man overcoming his betters with tricks and silliness.

OH MY GOD THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD MOVIE GROWING UP! I love the Looney Tunes! :D

This movie was made because after the creation of TV,cinema Looney Tunes shorts started making less money. After the success of this film,Warner started making more compilation films,and they were all successful.

WOW! This movie was a big part of my childhood and I’m glad to see you react to it!

I love how Bugs refers to the directors of his shorts and his voice actor as his "fathers." Also, yeah, Pepé's cartoons are a bit problematic, which is why he's been retired. Also also, I always felt the RoadRunner cartoon were hilarious *because* of all the raid fire way Wile E. Coyote fails. And the thing is, he's usually more disappointed than hurt. Trust me, some of the gadgets he tries are crazy.

The skunk, Pepe Le Pew was actually based on a real person. French actor Charles Boyer was consistently being cast as the romantic lead in movies with women who were like forty years younger than him. The animators made the joke that instead of him being super old turning off women, they made him a skunk who just stinks.

Alright so I am glad you enjoyed a majority of my film request. I want to point out a couple of things. One being that several of the cartoons were edited down for the film. The second being the latter part of the film with all of the Road Runner segments they came from many cartoons, but that basically how they all work as you want to see how Wily’s plans go awry. Also a lot of the cartoons were by the film’s director who was among the group mentioned Chuck Jones.

What a fun reaction and choice! FYI: in the music one, when Bugs is referred to as "Leopold", it's a fun reference to a famous classical conductor. Leopold Stokowski (sp). Among other things, he was well known for his shock of white hair, and his eloquent hands, which he used for conducting instead of the more common baton. There's a movie called "Unfaithfully Yours", where the main character is a famous conductor. A reporter asks him why he doesn't conduct with his hands like Stokowski. The character replies that he himself has insignificant little hands, not great large articulate instruments like Leopold. If you ever watch "Fantasia", by Disney, the conductor for the musical pieces there is the great man himself. Warners had a fantastic music library and orchestra. Many children of my generation, and the generation before, got their introduction to classical music and popular songs of the thirties, forties and fifties through these cartoons. Bugs, Daffy and Elmer featured in, I think, three variations of the "rabbit season/duck season" story. They are among my favorites. I especially love the version where there's a refrain between Daffy and Bugs of "Would you like to shoot me now or wait till you get home?" "Shoot him now, shoot him now", leading to variations of disaster for poor Daffy. Mel Blanc did, indeed, do so many of the voices for these cartoons over the years, and was, I believe, the first voice over artist to get his name in the opening credits. When he died, this sad, sweet drawing was made: www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1alt7u/speechless_this_is_the_poster_released_after_the/ The Coyote was our dad's favorite character: his endless spurts of invention, his determination, and his fate of endless failure struck a chord of understanding in my father. The design for the Coyote was inspired by a description of the animal by famous American author Mark Twain, who basically said the coyote is the personification of unsatisfied, suffering, needful hunger.

NickFlix, I'm glad you got introduced to the world of Looney Tunes. IT IS TRUE COMEDY GOLD!!! This series really is the one of the greatest forms of Competition with Walt Disney and other movie media companies. Now in today's society, this would not at all work fully, because I still find it amazing with how much violence they showed to young audiences back in the day. However, they've adapted and have toned down a little bit of the violence but it still makes it so funny, sometimes it makes my sides hurt. I hope you decide to watch some of these cartoons because they also showcase the talent of a great man, Mel Blanc, the man of a thousand voices.

I used to watch this on a VHS tape I got from the library! They even had this on CARTOON NETWORK during a Looney Tunes movie marathon.

Don’t worry,Nick, Marvin the Martian never ends up blowing up the Earth anyway. It always backfires.

I requested this film because I figured it would be the best introduction for you to the Looney Tunes characters and their kind of comedy.

24:56 Daffy: You’re Dessspicable😒 Daffy’s Classic line😂😂😂😂

28:03 Fun fact, Pepe found out in one episode that Penelope was a cat, and yet he continued to chase after her, going so far as to paint his back black.

Did this man just visably flinch when Pepe shot himself off camera? lol

Nick, this was literally a collection of shorts. The Looney Tunes were never really meant to carry a feature film. These were shorts typically played at the beginning of movies back in the day (when you paid a nickel to see a film and spent all day in the theater). These were made mostly in the 1950s and 60s, but the actual format goes back to the 1930s, so you saying you couldn’t sit and watch a bunch of these makes perfect sense, they were originally just a short cartoon played before the feature film in the days before trailers happening before a movie in a theater.

Honestly, a film like this is kind of a perfect introduction to a Looney Tunes newbie seeing as every one of these segments is from the series.

i loved this movie as a kid! Great to see you react to one of my childhood favs!!

Back in Action would be epic

I am glad you overall loved it, but as a fan of your just wanted to let you know that cartoons original and for the absolute longest time we’re always over the top and cartoons were mostly funny, jokes, and can do anything that’s why the Looney Tunes Characters can survive any damage. For the last maybe 15-20 years most modern animated cartoons don’t have these kinds of gags, jokes, or able to survive anything, but are played more serious. So I am glad that animated shows like CUPHEAD on Netflix or HBO Max Looney Tunes show are trying to bring back this kind of humor gags, and animation. It’s just interesting that even as a kid in the early 2000s they stilled play cartoons like this, but some time later they just stopped this style or showing original looney tunes at all on tv.

I love Bugs Bunny😂this movie is a childhood favorite

Interesting. As much as I'd rather you had watched the original unedited shorts, at least you're getting the classics in some form.

Greetings from the UK. I watched this so much as a child and absolutely adore Bugs, Daffy and all the Looney Tunes gang - Yosemite Sam is my favourite though! Mel Blanc did pretty much every single voice but he was involved in a horrific in car accident 1961 that nearly took his life. He was unresponsive in a coma for two weeks until one of the neurosurgeons had an idea. He asked him, “How are you feeling today, Bugs?” and Mel replied with, “Just fine, Doc. How are you?” and began his road to recovery ☺️

Also Mel Blanc did all of those voices. Every single one of them. He was amazing at his job.

Sometimes I think Nick just lived his whole life under a rock

This is Childhood 💯❤

Hey! Cool! These characters are so iconic. They basically defined a generation of animated comedy. Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and countless other classic cartoons have drawn inspiration from this style of comedy that the Looney Tunes had!

16:12 Daffy: Let’s get this picture Started😠. “THE END” Daffy: NO! NOOOO😤!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

The nostalgia of watching this as a kid. My fav is Daffy Duck and Bugs.

The part with Toro and Bugs with "La Cucharacha"was hilarious. Bugs with the giant sombrero comes close! "I'm rich! I'm a happy meiser!"is one of my favourite Daffy lines. The opera with Bugs getting revenge on the singer is hilarious.

Actually, the thing that hit Bugs in the first cartoon (Hare-Way to the Stars, it can be watched as a seperate short) was the first ever satelite Sputnik, which was blasted off by The Russians during The Cold War (during the Space Race where the USA and Soviet Union AKA Russia competed in which of them could get man on the moon, in 69 the US won when Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins landed there), in 1957. Hare-Way to the Stars was released the year after.

This was my first Looney Tunes movie growing up.

I love you, man, seriously. The movies you choose to watch (most of them😑) are so good and nostalgic, including this one!! THANK YOUUUU❤❤

Looney Tunes will always cheer you up or make you laugh. Love it.

I'm glad you were watching THIS one! These were always my favorite cartoons since my early 90's childhood and they are STILL SO FUNNY!!! lol

Hey Nick. I just want to say that I think you’re one of the best movie/tv show reactors that I’ve seen on RU-vid. Keep up the good work man.

What a great introduction to the Looney Tunes! These are some of the most memorable shorts in their library.

Bugs disguising himself as a conductor and everybody believes that he's Leopold refers to Leopold Stokowski, who conducted many operas and symphony orchestrations at Hollywood Bowl during the 40's. Remember him from Fantasia, Nick? 😉

This was a movie complied of shorts from the 1930’s - 1960’s. There was a tv show that aired Saturday mornings that was the shorts.

Bugs' catchphrase "What's up, Doc" was put in the first Bugs Bunny cartoon A Wild Hare, directed by Tex Avery (who'd later direct a lot MGM cartoons such as Droopy Dog, who you saw in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Screwball "Screwy" Squirrel, George and Junior, The Red Hot Riding Hood series,The Tomorrow series and several one-off shorts, plus some for Walter Lantz including The Legend of Rockabye Point) he put in the phrase which was a common saying in Texas similair to "What are you doing" or "What are you up to?". When the cartoon was first shown, nearly all cinemas had the audience burst into laughter when they heard Bugs say "What's up, Doc" because he saying it calmly in front of a hunter (Elmer Fudd) armed with a double-barreled shotgun while gnawing a carrot (where you usually be scarred your wits out in such situation). It also could be contributated that it was a reference to Clark Gable chewing a carrot in the movie "It Happened One Night".

Pepe le pew is one of my favorite characters 🦨♥️

HEY NICKY! I actually never knew that this movie was a thing!

Honestly, I'd say this was a perfect movie choice to help you get better familiarized with Looney Tunes. It gives you a sort of history lesson on the Tunes themselves and showcases their greatest hits. Now this makes me interested in you reacting to Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action someday.

Bugs' other catchphrase: "Of course, you realize this means war!" comes from The Marx's Bros. movie Duck Soup where Groucho Marx's (the one with the thick eyebrows, glasses, mustasche and holding a cigar) character. Director Chuck Jones used this as a reference whenever someone (like the bull, Giovanni Jones, Ala Bama and other antagonists) strikes first at the rabbit when he's just minding his own business.

It’s really fun to watch this reaction and you haven’t seen a lot of Looney Tunes. But I’m glad you enjoyed it. I used to watch this movie a lot at my grandmas apartment 😄

I have never seen this before.

You have a point about the last 10 minutes. I remember watching it as a kid and thinking the Roadrunner segment dragged on a bit.

Many of the Looney Tunes shorts were usually packaged into one film, such as the one you’ve watched, and there’ll be new animations to loosely tie it all together in some fashion just as this film did w/ Bugs going through the gallery of his co-stars.

The father's of bugs were his animators while Mel provided the voices for bugs and nearly all of the other looney tunes

Bugs the trolling goat 🤣

Love this surprise reaction, Nick!! Can I ask about the Amazon boxes in the background? Are you about to move to a new place? If so, congrats, Nick!! If you don't want to say yet, that's perfectly fine, though.

You should watch Looney Tunes : Back In Action it’s from Joe Dante and it’s such an underrated movie.

I would highly recommend Daffy Duck’s Quackbusters for Halloween. Another Looney Tune anthology but they incorporate the toons like it’s one big story instead of cartoon after cartoon 👍

8:00 So every year in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, there's a general geekery convention called DragonCon. They have their main cosplay contest, called the Masquerade, on the Sunday night of the convention. And after all the contestants present their costumes (sometimes with accompanying skits), the judges need a bit of time to tally scores, compare notes and come up with a list of winners in various categories. To pass the time, the convention staff would play this specific Duck Dodgers vs Marvin the Martian cartoon. When Covid hit, and DragonCon couldn't hold the convention in person, they did what they could to make virtual online convention instead, livestreamed for free, including an online version of the costume contest, They knew they had to include the Duck Dodgers tradition but they knew Warner Brothers would drop the copyright hammer on them if they just threw the cartoon straight into their livestream. Instead, they got quite a few of the celebrity guests to re-enact the cartoon, piece by piece, from their own homes, where the clips could be edited into a video, which can still be found online today.

Nick: Oh, my him again! and 'I didn't expect him to have that voice.' Nick, may I introduce you to my favourite Looney Tune- Marvin the Martian- a small, polite and dangerous but funny little alien bent on either blowing up/taking over earth and/or claiming planets- who happens to be the godfather of all animated aliens. Initially in the shorts introduced here in this film, he was nameless, till 1979 (the year this film was made to reintroduce the shorts to the new generation)- where he was given the name Marvin by Chuck Jones. (Also all the 'fathers' Bugs was talking about in the portraits were his animators he's had over the years- and his voice actor, Mel Blanc).

love it back in the day still watch it

The Duck Dodgers cartoons were parodies of then popular Buck Rogers, a sci-fi series set in the far-away future (25:th Century to be precise, hence the refence to 24th 1/2 Century). These cinematic series (which was like tv-series before TV became mainsteam, one week one episode will be shown, which ended in a cliffhanger and the next week, the new episode would continue the story) inspired George Lucas into making Star Wars (orignally he wanted the first one to be called Episode IV: A New Hope but 20 Century Fox objected as audiences would be confused about the first three, it wasn't until later releases where the subtitle was added).

Excellent reaction. I got an original Betamax copy of this movie, and it was the original 1979 release by WCI Home Video, and it was the first of its kind, and it was the debut of “Looney Tunes” on home video.

Mel Blanc was so hilarious. I could listen to his voices all day.

Bugs Bunny in part was inspired by Groucho Marx, as was a later WB cartoon character, Yakko Warner from Animaniacs. I’m sure you’d love both the Marx brothers and Animaniacs if you enjoyed this.

Looney tunes for the win!!!!!!!! People who’s childhoods grew up watching these classic legends say yeah!!!!!!!!

Watch Space Jam next!

I loved reruns of Looney Tunes growing up, and even now, but I’ve never seen this collection/movie. Seems like a good way to be introduced to these zanny characters, though it’s too bad neither Yosemite Sam nor Witch Hazel were featured. You should checkout the 90s Animaniacs for more wacky cartoon humor.

Never met anyone who's never seen Bugs Bunny before, but I got to say, I love your laugh! Your in for a real treat with the Looney Tunes gang! Since you've already seen Tom and Jerry, check out videos with Tweety and Sylvester; same idea, but a different concept! ;)

There's a robin hood duck? Lol That's Daffy alright, he can play MANY roles- from space captain to Robin Hood.

If you continue watching these Looney Tunes films, keep note of ACME as it’s one of the long running gag of the franchise.

These characters make up the Looney Toons. There comedy is physical comedy. It's not meant to be realistic, hence the word Looney. You have to suspend reality, and not concern yourself with the characters getting hurt, because they never truely are. Just for yourself, watch an episode of The Three Stoogies, I Love Lucy, Carol Burnett and Three's Company. Those are all physical comedies. Looney Toons was physical comedy for kids.

This was more of a compilation of shorts that weren't generally watched one right after tge other. Bugs Bunny was made for TV. Not the Big Screen. Saturday/Sunday Morning Cartoon blocks... or early morning before school... or after school. Disney was for rich folk. Pay channel that you had to pay an additional fee to watch ABOVE your cable fees. Loony Toons was syndicated on tons of small stations nation wide for free.

If you choose to watch the rest of the old classic shorts, you will find a lot of most entertaining picks. But WARNING, some of their shorts contain humor that hasn't aged well; particularly racial stereotypes.

41:36 still to this day, I'm wondering what he was trying to do here on the rope 😂

The movie is a compilation of loony tunes shorts strung together with some original animation to make a coherent story. Same with daffy ducks fantastic island and daffy ducks quackbusters

I love me some Looney Tunes, so this is gonna be fun!

Nick you should really watch the classic Warner Bros Looney Tunes Cartoons of 30’s 40’s and 50’s because they are the iconic Slapstick ones from the old golden age of animation.

Daffy is my favorite Looney Tunes character, including Charlie the Dog

The Bugs Bunny Road Runner movie is very funny. Just like Tom and Jerry.

Have you not seen some of these cartoons before? This movie's just a compilation of some of the cartoons from the original show.

I'd like to see your reaction to Tom and Jerry they were on par with Looney tunes and have some fantastic movies as well as TV series

Yayyyyyyyyy

On one hand, it's sad to see an adult film critic who is almost completely unfamiliar with Looney Tunes. On the other, it's a joy to see him laugh and enjoy them. Proof that they are truly special, enduring works of art and comedy.

I like Modern day Looney Tunes!

Hi Nick I really enjoyed your reaction to looney tunes Bugs Bunny and roadrunner movie my favorite looney tunes movie !!!!🐰🥕

Wait this was an actual movie!

Don't know why it's called The Bugs Bunny And Roadrunner Movie, when there's barely any roadrunner.

Saturday mornings with pancakes and Looney Tunes. Nothing like it. You should definitely check out classic Tom and Jerry cartoons.

Please do a movie reaction to both the animated movies Rio 1 & 2 I recently watched both and found them very entertaining and I thought you would too 😁🙏🏻🎥💙🎶

Hamilton Galaxy quest Bruce almighty Terminator Tremors Stargate just a few suggestions for you to react to....

Ooh. If you find yourself enjoying the Looney Tunes, there’s a lot of things to check out for your entertainment there. Everyone starts somewhere. Looney Tunes have had a bit of a resurgence in recent years. But not as large as they were back in the day. They were everywhere, and are still treasured cartoon icons. The Mount Rushmore of classic cartoons. Plenty of material, and history to work with. Considering what this is, it’s a fair place to start on. Although this really isn’t so much of a movie. More like anthology compilation of various shorts cramped together to pan runtime. But they’re all technically short.

Mi infancia

D’ohh! It never occurred that if we want to get reactor kids who have never heard of. Bugs Bunny (outside of Space Jam or those freakish HBOMax trolls) that there was still the 1979 Movie to educate them on the Chuck Jones classics. And on the skunk Pepe LePew, who’s only recently become a martyr victim of Cancel Culture, as a Chuck-illiterate generation thought his chasing the cat was “sexual harassment ”. (And that, after a column tried complaining about cancel culture with “Who’s next, #MeToo for Pepe?”)

Please watch more looney tunes!

I usually thought bugs bunny was invincible?

Another good movie is all cartoon stars all stars to the rescue I wonder if they made another one though and if not, then they should make a cartoon STARZ All-Stars to the rescue two

Really there’s another one called Looney Tunes back in action and he was pretty much like in that one too. Plus you should definitely watch Looney Tunes back in action. Or like one of those other ones like space, jam, and space jam two I know I like space jam, but the second one was OK. I mean it could’ve been better but mostly just because. of like for two reasons why though one because they could’ve made it more like a horror movie, which I thought that that’s what they were going for but more like a horror basketball movie video, and secondly I thought it would be more like the classic like it would take more of the classic feeling but more like live action a little bit but that’s why I’d give that one a C minus and a half that’s not so bad but yeah, the first one A+ just because they make a cool 😎

you should watch some epiosdes of looney tunes

Hiya nick watch top cat the movie next 😊

Since when did you start watching looney tunes?

please watch space jam (1995) wiyh michael jordan
