"Gorilla My Dreams"



"Gorilla My Dreams" (short), 1948. A gorilla couple adopts Bugs Bunny.

Directed by Robert McKimson. Written by Warren Foster. Starring Mel Blanc.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). I really wanted to like this one. Bugs does some pretty funny stuff, and there's some amusingly blunt violence. But the story doesn't work - it's several minutes of exposition, followed by a few minutes of fighting, and then it just stops.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.3/4 (Okay)
