My First Entry

This is my first entry to this blog, so don't laugh. It defiantly harder than it seems. For my first blog, I've decided to take a look at a classic cartoon close to my heart. It's a Looney Tunes cartoon known as, "Carrotblanca." Developed in around 1995, this short was a parody of the famous Casablanca movie. The characters were played by the Toons, and the jokes were just hilarious! The plot revolved around Tweety Bird stealing a document from evil German scientists, played by Yosemite Sam. He gives it to Bugs Bunny, who owns a club with Daffy Duck. Bugs is reluctant to take it, but hearing how he could meet a dame, he hides the document for an American man. That man is revealed to be Sylvester Cat with the dame being Penelope Pussycat( the cat from Pepe Le Pew cartoons). It turns out that Penelope and Bugs had a relationship before they sadly broke up. Bugs gets dragged into a plot to outwit the Germans, win over Penelope, and get the document to Sylvester. Though this was made long after the original actors died, along with the good directors, Carrotblanca captures the soul of the original shorts. It's worth a watch, and will captivate your mind and humor. So, for brilliant writing and acting, I give Carrotblanca 5 out of 5 stars.
