Bug Bunny Howl-Oween Special Review
One of my all time favorite cartoon characters, Bugs Bunny is all ready for Halloween with the new release of Bugs Bunny’s Howl-Oween Special DVD. This is a fairly short DVD but not at all short on fun.
Kids and adults will delight in this wonderful tale that finds that “wascally wabbit,” Bugs Bunny making holiday rounds dressed as a witch. Witch Hazel however, thinks Bugs is a real witch who has come to intrude on her home turf and makes plans to eliminate him. Joining Bugs Bunny are his popular pals including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Speedy Gonzales. When Bugs and his buddies tangle with Witch Hazel’s wacky magic, they are zapped into a mixed-up menagerie of oddball monsters.
This was Jude’s first experience with Bugs Bunny and I do think he enjoyed it thoroughly. I like that it’s the simple style of animation I grew up with and I can introduce my son to all of my favorite childhood characters. This animation is actually older than I am as it was originally released in 1978, truly a classic.
The DVD also features a bonus short, Hair-Raising Hare and an Interactive Menu-based Puzzle Game. This special DVD retails for $14.97 and is available online and at select retailers across the US.
