Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . refers to the catcher's specialized defensive gear. In the Looney Tunes Universe, "Tools of Ignorance" invariably denotes firearms, from Yosemite Sam's pistols to Elmer Fudd's long guns. Mr. Fudd is depicted as a patronizing bully to Bugs Bunny as soon as the former makes an appearance in WHAT'S UP, DOC? But as a Wealthy One Per Center, normal folks such as Bugs have to Kow-Tow to Fudd's every perverse whim. However, sensing that he could lose his status as Top Dog in the Looney Tunes Animated Shorts Universe to the more talented Bugs, Elmer introduces a shooting iron on the WHAT'S UP, DOC? scene 5 minutes, 21 seconds into this story. As soon as Mr. Fudd resorts to such a False Security Blanket, Bugs has the upper hand. It's now Elmer who's second fiddling for the remainder of this tale, forced to wield his "tool of ignorance" as a perpetual reminder that careers that live by the gun, die by gun. Move over Jesse James, John Dillinger, and Wild Bill: make room for Elmer Fudd!

TheLittleSongbird While the cartoon feels rather short and the story on the standard side, it is a interesting, memorable and handsomely mounted Bugs Bunny cartoon. Nothing here is remarkably funny, but there are some effective scenes like the scene in the park and the repeat of "What's Up Doc?" The cartoon also begins and ends in a very cute fashion, and throughout there is handsome animation, lovely vaudeville-like music and excellent voices from Mel Blanc and Arthur Q.Bryan as Bugs and Elmer who make a great double act if I must say so. Bugs is great here, he's been better, but I like his somewhat subdued side here, and Elmer is fine.Overall, memorable and interesting, not the best but a cartoon worth watching. 8/10 Bethany Cox

phantom_tollbooth Robert McKimson's 'What's Up, Doc' is a witty take on Bugs Bunny's rise to fame. Relating his life story to a reporter over the phone, Bugs tells of his birth, his early experiences with showbiz and his big break when he was discovered by "big vaudeville star" Elmer Fudd. Although it feels vaguely like a one joke picture which spends it whole time building to a funny but slightly non-sensical punchline, 'What's Up, Doc' has some great moments such as its take on the origins of the titular catchphrase and even a musical number. While the laughs are a little thin on the ground, 'What's Up, Doc' is still a handsome and decently paced film. It's a minor but reasonably memorable cartoon.

Canadian_madness Bugs Bunny performs in what today may be coined as a 'reality TV' manner, so the form of jokes in this episode are more in tune of observational humor from the audience point of view as opposed to Bugs delivering a punchline. (In many WB cartoons, the biggest punchline is often choreographed far beforehand and there is a tremendous buildup towards it as if creating a 'money' shot to laugh at) As this is unlike those more directionally forward comedic episodes, the plot line for this episode is much more structured and balanced to contain a stronger sense of realism. Or at least one that portrays Bugs Bunny is a real character trying to survive in a real world where he is a bunny entertainer.This is a very fitting tribute to stage performances and the jokes are true to life to anyone who performs live entertainment. (Similiariily as Dilbert mirrors office humor, the jokes effectiveness is based on these "true to life" moments) It is quite possible that this episode was created with that in mind and meant more for the entertainers of that era as the target audience. This video is an absolute must collect to share with anyone who entertains an audience as the frustrations, setbacks and randomness of success still proliferates today.
